Now, mobile enthusiasts can dive into the revamped experience with Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
The story unfolds in Paris, where American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard embark on a thrilling journey. It all begins with George witnessing the bombing of a Parisian cafe and the subsequent escape of a mysterious clown. This incident propels them into a centuries-old conspiracy, leading them on a global adventure from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
As indicated by its name, Reforged presents a visually enhanced experience. The game, already known for its striking visuals, now features fully reanimated and repainted graphics that elevate the gameplay to new heights.
