In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series towers as one of Europe's most successful franchises, traditionally celebrated on PC platforms. Now, mobile gamers can immerse themselves in the revamped thrill of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android devices.
Set against the backdrop of Paris, the game follows the journey of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. The adventure kicks off with a bang when George witnesses a bombing at a Parisian café and sees a mysterious clown escaping the scene. This event propels him into a centuries-old conspiracy that spans continents, from Paris to Syria and Ireland.
True to its "Reforged" moniker, the game offers a visually enhanced experience. The already impressive graphics have been further refined with fully reanimated and repainted visuals, making the journey through this complex narrative even more captivating.
