Revolution Software’s point-and-click adventure, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, was first released in 1996. It has since been re-released multiple times on various platforms. The Director’s Cut has now made it to Android, featuring modified touch screen controls and—addressing how the game’s been repeatedly trotted out—new content in the form of original artwork, extra puzzles, and significant storyline additions.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars celebrated its 25th anniversary in October 2021. To mark such a momentous occasion, Alternative Magazine Online is proud to present an exclusive look back at the game’s development with British video game designer Charles Cecil, co-founder and Managing Director of Revolution Software!
Good series, none surpassed the first for me though. Loved playing it on my PSX.
Thanks for commenting, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is one of my favourite adventure games of all time (as I'm sure you can tell). It's crazy that Virgin didn't want to publish it on PlayStation!
Yes, considering their reason not to and what they did end up publishing/published in the past is very odd.
Broken Sword is point and click royalty. Charles Cecil spilled the beans on its future, its Nintendo Switch port and more.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Charles Cecil, founder and CEO of Revolution Software reveals how artist Dave Gibbon's is keen for a new Beneath A Steel Sky and how the team at revolution are working towards "an original game" "a sequel for Beneath A Steel Sky" or "a new Broken Sword."
I haven't played the series in a while but always loved a good point and click adventure!
