  • Summary: ‘Broken Sword – the Smoking Mirror: Remastered’ sees the return of George Stobbart and Nico Collard in the sequel to the App Store #1 smash hit ‘Broken Sword – the Shadow of the Templars’, widely praised as the best adventure available for iPhone / iPad.

Little can she know that the ornately carved obsidian stone will lead her, and her adventuring companion George Stobbart, into a mysterious escapade of intrigue and deceit, in which they must overcome powerful forces and antagonists who will stop at nothing to fulfill their evil ambitions.

    Torment and terror, sacrificial rituals, and bloody massacre is unearthed beneath a veil of Mayan mystery.

    It's clear there's a market for point-and-click adventure games on the iPhone, and Broken Sword II is a very fine addition.

    The game itself continues to justify its enduring popularity, thanks to sharp writing, narrative intrigue, quality voiceovers and concise puzzles that challenge but rarely frustrate. Maybe if enough of you buy this one, we can persuade Cecil and co. to finally deliver us an all-new game.

    Like the first game, this is must have. Revolution is possibly the best developer for the iOS. Both Broken Swords and Beneath a Steel Sky: Remastered are just amazing. Can't wait for their new game. I just know it will be amazing!… Expand
