Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged Arrives at Last
Whether you remember the original 1996 release or the 2009 Director’s Cut, Broken Sword returns with long-awaited improvements. Discover what’s changed in this definitive remaster.
A Refined Return to Classic Form
Shadow of the Templars: Reforged removes the additional Director’s Cut content, restoring Nico’s original role as George’s supporting partner rather than a playable protagonist. The focus shifts to meticulously upgrading the core narrative experience.
This rebuilt version delivers:
- Crisp HD and 4K visuals with remastered audio
- Chromebook optimization with multiple control options
- Full offline play with cloud save support
- No microtransactions – just a single $6.99 launch price (normally $9.99)
For Newcomers: A Timeless Conspiracy
The adventure begins dramatically in Paris, where American tourist George Stobbart survives a café bombing orchestrated by a mysterious clown. This triggers a globetrotting investigation alongside journalist Nico Collard, unraveling Templar secrets across Europe.
The signature point-and-click gameplay remains faithful to the original:
- Explore vibrant locations packed with personality
- Engage eccentric characters through witty dialogue
- Solve creative (and occasionally obscure) inventory puzzles
While some puzzles flow naturally, others require methodical exploration – capturing the authentic charm of 90s adventure gaming.
