What’s New in Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged Mobile?
This mobile edition boasts fully remastered audio and visuals in stunning high definition, with support for 4K resolutions. The hauntingly atmospheric soundtrack, masterfully composed by Barrington Pheloung, continues to set the mood. While some areas have been transformed to the point where they look like an entirely new game, the core vibe remains delightfully unchanged.
The storyline remains faithful to the original, following George Stobbart, a curious American who unwittingly becomes entangled in an ancient conspiracy involving the Knights Templar. He teams up with Nico Collard, a sharp-witted journalist, to unravel the mystery. Their journey takes them from Parisian cafés to ancient ruins in Syria, from Spanish backstreets to mysterious crypts in Ireland. The game’s visuals are genuinely charming, and you can see for yourself in the trailer below:
The puzzles in the game are as challenging as ever, distributed across various settings such as the museum and the sick ward. Solving them often requires actions taken in different locations, adding to the depth and engagement of the gameplay.
