The comeback of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is a single-player adventure game that revives the classic Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars point-and-click game, which has captivated fans for decades. Developed by Revolution Software Ltd, it’s available on PC and a gaming console. 

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged works similarly to games like Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, 山河旅探 - Murders on the Yangtze River, and 3 Minutes to Midnight—which gives players an adventure gameplay experience with point-and-click puzzles. This reimagined version brings the iconic tale of conspiracy and intrigue into the modern era. 

Journey into perilous adventures  

The game Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars - Reforged follows the story of George Stobbart, an American tourist who witnesses a terrorist bombing at a Parisian café. Shortly after, he crosses paths with local journalist Nicole Collard. Together, they embark on an investigation that unravels the mysteries of the incident, leading them on an adventure across Europe and the Middle East. 

Players must explore a variety of locations and engage with NPCs to gather essential information and clues. Puzzles play a crucial role in gameplay, challenging players to find items, use them strategically, and interact with their surroundings. These puzzles test your intellect, requiring careful observation, deduction, and creativity to solve. From cracking codes to manipulating objects, each puzzle brings you closer to uncovering the game’s hidden secrets. 

This remastered edition offers stunning 4K visuals, allowing players to experience the charm of the original with high-definition graphics. The enhanced landscapes, detailed characters, and intricate environments are brought to life, providing a vibrant and immersive experience. Additionally, all the lines in this game are fully voiced and acted. However, the game doesn’t have a character development feature. It is not ideal for players seeking a purely character-driven gameplay experience.

Investigate a terrorist bombing 

For players who are into point-and-click adventure puzzles, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars – Reforged is a must-try game. It brings back the iconic Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars with enhanced visuals, improved controls, and a few subtle tweaks that breathe new life into the story. Its point-and-click mechanics have been streamlined to fit modern standards, making navigation and interaction more intuitive.
