IncGamers' Spanner Spencer checks out the DS version of the PC adventure classic.
"Which brings us to Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars – The Director's Cut (forgive me for chopping it off and calling it Broken Sword from here on in). You'd be quite right to be curious as to how a game can pull off a director's cut, but thanks to the sterling work done when developing the game's characters 13 years ago, this all new DS iteration of the classic adventure game does indeed host the scope for extra, unobtrusive content."
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.
From GameWatcher: "Revolution Software are celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a special collection of the company's full catalogue of adventure games, including the Broken Sword series, Beneath a Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress and In Cold Blood. The ‘Revolution: the 25th Anniversary Collection’ will be released on the 11th March, 2016 at a price of £29.99 / €39,99 exclusively for the PC."
I think it's about time I jump into this series. Good to see they will package everything into one neat, little unit.
Another quality title for the DS, nice one :)
Very cool. I was actually looking for a new DS game as I have a long journey coming up =)
BTW, that's a very weird picture?
Loved Broken Sword. This sounds like it's worth a purchase, though I'm not sure whether to get it on Wii or DS...
Cool, I bought this one for the DS, I purchased the second episode on GoodOldGames and I've downloaded the free "broken sword 2.5" made by fans... Good old adventure games overdose spotted
