In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series stands as a towering achievement, especially in Europe where it's celebrated as the most successful series in a genre typically dominated by PC games. Now, fans can dive into the revamped world of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged on both iOS and Android, bringing the classic adventure to mobile devices with enhanced visuals and gameplay.
Set against the backdrop of Paris, the game follows the gripping journey of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. The story kicks off with a dramatic explosion at a Parisian café, which George witnesses alongside a mysterious clown making a hasty escape. This incident propels them into a centuries-old conspiracy that spans continents, from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
True to its name, Reforged presents a visually stunning experience. The game's already impressive graphics have been further enhanced with fully reanimated and repainted visuals, ensuring a smoother and more immersive adventure.
