"90's Classic 'Broken Sword' Gets Reforged Mobile Version"

If you're a fan of classic point-and-click adventures, get ready—Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is making its way to mobile soon. The game, originally released in 1996 for PC, has been lovingly updated and is now available for pre-registration on Android via publisher StoreRider. If immersive storytelling and clever puzzles are your thing, this is one title you won’t want to miss.

The original Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars was a defining title in the golden era of adventure games. It quickly became a genre favorite thanks to its engaging narrative, memorable characters, and atmospheric world. Now, more than 25 years later, the Reforged version brings the experience into modern times while staying true to the essence that made it iconic. Initially launched on PC in September 2024, the mobile version promises the same rich gameplay with enhancements tailored for touchscreens.

What’s New in Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged Mobile?

This revamped edition features fully remastered visuals in high definition, including support for 4K resolution. Some scenes look so polished they could pass for an entirely new game, though the nostalgic charm remains intact. The original soundtrack by Barrington Pheloung has also been preserved, maintaining the haunting atmosphere that helped define the game's mood.

As before, you step into the shoes of George Stobbart, an unsuspecting American caught in a sprawling mystery tied to the legendary Knights Templar. Alongside Nico Collard, a fearless and intelligent journalist, George travels across the globe—from the bustling cafés of Paris to ancient ruins in Syria, from shadowy alleys in Spain to cryptic underground chambers in Ireland.

Every location is rendered with renewed visual clarity, yet still retains the artistic flair that made the original so captivating. You can view the game in action below:

The puzzle design remains as clever and interconnected as ever. Solutions often require exploration and logic, with some riddles only becoming solvable after actions taken elsewhere in the game. Whether you’re navigating a museum or sneaking through a hospital ward, the challenge feels rewarding without being frustrating.
