It's been exactly 28 years since the Templar and Assassin fight for the long-lost sword, and it's not just any Assassin's Creed series. Originally dating back to 1996, this title is a product of a studio called Revolution Software. Originally from Britain, they started their work by creating games for the Atari ST, Amiga and DOS platforms. Despite the success of their previous games, such as Beneath a Steel Sky, the first Broken Sword was the game that brought them their most notable commercial success. It was available for PC, Playstation, and a little later for Game Boy Advance.
You begin the story of Broken Sword in Paris as an American tourist named George Stobbart. You are enjoying a leisurely meal in a cafe when the atmosphere is interrupted by a bomb attack. His curious character decides to find the attacker and find out why the attack happened in the first place. During his research, he runs into photojournalist Nicole Collard, and the two decide to join forces in search of the truth. The clues themselves end up taking them on an adventurous journey they couldn't have imagined, from Europe to the Middle East, and in their search for the truth, they fight against a mysterious and dangerous cult that wants to find a long-lost treasure. All of this is, of course, accompanied by a love story between the two that still seems rushed and forced, but that was a trend in stories in the 90s, so we won't dwell on it too much.
The beginning of a wonderful adventure
Broken Sword - Shadows of the Templars Reforged je u svojoj suštini još jedan remaster original games. Let's remember, first remaster is andzdan 2009. god. in Director's Cut formi. I sada slijedi odgovor na pitanje koje sve gameče zanthere is – who je razlika this one izdanja in relation to prethodna dva? U odreams, igra is and dalis 2D point and click a third-person adventure. As in the older versions, artists took care of the characters and animations. background scenes (background art) je ovaj puta optimizirao A.I. za rezoluciju who ide do 4K, a dijehuntinge koji i dalje nisu funkcionirali na spomenutim postavkama su jednostavno naknadno oslikali artisti. What je pomalo na nezadovoljavajućoj razini, jest zvuk dijaloga koji na nekim dijehuntingthere is osjetno loše zvuči, s dosta šuma i kompresijskih artefakata. Ako govorimo o samom gameplay, Reforged je vjerniji titleu iz 1996., gdje zabeginste priču s Georgeom. Cijeli dodatni igrivi dio s Nicole iz Director's Cut-a je sada izbačen. On ovaj potez su se developeri odlučor, because how kažu, početak games with eksplozijom i Georgeom čini bolji uvod u priču.
The goat continues to cause us problems
Unlike cenzuriranog Director's Cuta, Reforge vam opet dozvoljava bring pogubne odluke, after čega slijedi slikoviti prikaz vaše smrti i ukopa. Game vam daje opciju načina na koji ju wantste agoći, a to znači da ju možete play na stari način as well as prijašnje verziis andli se pak odlučiti za casual mode namijenjen mlađoj generaciji gameča te onthere is koji there is noneju puno vremena za prelazak games. Ova zadnja opcija vam omogućuje aktiviranje savjeta za rješenje određenog problema (hint). Oni su podijeljeni u dvije kategorije. Code the first kategorije hintova možete izabwari koliko često wantsand yes vam se pojave na ekranu. INkoliko izaberete srednji interval, hintovi će vam se pojavljivati samo when andgra „shvati” da duže vrijeme niste ostvaror progres. INpuand will be in the form bljeskanja nekog casea u inventoryju koji bi mogao be od važnosti u trenutačnoj situaciji or will vas uputiti na ulici or mapi koju lokaciju iduću posjetiti. Drugi tip hintova je constantly prisutan, and invijek ih možete zatražiti na zahtjev. On je in the form tekstualnih uputa koje postaju sve konkretnije what ih više tražite za jedan zadatak. After the first aktivacije tekstualnog hinta, morate is waitingti barem 30 sekundi dok vam se ne otključa opcija za zatražiti idući. INI sučelje je svedeno na minthere islizam i there iste nekoliko opcija u ponudi za interakciju: lik može samo komentiwarand bothkt interesa or pak potencijalno vršiti s njime interakciju. Inventory, as well as glavni izbornik, pojave vam se samo when dođete do određene pozicije kursorom na ekranu. Predmete u inventoryju možete or međusobno kombiniwari pa s njthere is izvršiti neku interakciju or ih pak direktno koristiti u sceni. This dio je klasični aspekt „old school” point and click avanture. Ukoliko se odlučiand on casual style s umjerenim hintovthere is, trebat će vam oko 10 do 12 sati za završiti igru, a during gamenja there iste i prorku za stvariti achievemente.
This doesn't work for me!
The current remaster of Broken Sword is certainly a decent edition of the adventure game that can be loved by both new and old audiences, and with a 4K screen and A.I. the assistance looks very refreshed. Unfortunately, this edition is not without flaws either, so the problems with the already commented dialogue sound could not be solved. Despite everything, a very solid release that proves that it still has something to show and offers a decent hour of intrigue and entertainment at a price that is quite fair, around 30 euros. The game is available on Steam and GOG for PC, MacOS, Linux and Steam Deck, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and on the official Facebook page they announce that it will also be available for Nintendo Switch in October of this year.
