In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series stands as a towering achievement, particularly in Europe where it's celebrated as the most successful in this genre typically dominated by PC gaming. Now, mobile enthusiasts can dive into the revamped and remastered experience of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
Set against the backdrop of Paris, the game follows the thrilling escapades of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard.
