A substantial enhancement of one of the most popular adventures of all time, Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged was revealed to much fanfare back at Gamescom 2023 in Köln. Standing as a completely revitalised and ‘reforged’ version of George and Nico’s original globe-trotting adventure, players will be taken from the atmospheric avenues of the French capital to the mystery-laden mountains of Syria, the sun-soaked coastline of Spain and a whole host of stunning locations in between.

The backgrounds have been repainted from the line art originally drawn by Don Blooth layout artists, the sprites have been reanimated and the audio has been enhanced to bring new levels of fidelity to the speech and the legendary soundtrack composed by the late great Barrington Pheloung.

Redefining adventure gameplay for the modern era, a new ‘story mode’ will dynamically balance narrative and gameplay progression to offer a stunning gameplay experience for a whole new generation of adventure fans to enjoy.

Despite the exoticism, 1996 PC voice sample quality, and linear, dialogue-heavy interactions, this reforging of an old point-and-click classic does a great job. It looks fabulous, and everything that gave the original its appeal is intact. It hardly needs proving these days, but Shadow of the Templars: Reforged shows once again that nostalgia never gets old.
