It's good, not *great*. It works perfectly well with no real issues. The biggest problem I encountered was some minor visual jank like your character briefly appearing in front of/behind something they shouldn't and that throwing off your perspective. The story is a bit dull compared to previous entries in the series; you're still basically chasing down a paper trail hours into the game and in previous games you'd have visited two or three different continents or hidden temples by that point.

I really love this game series, but unfortunately it has been long time since last update... On bigger screen it doesn't work properly in fact the bottom of the screen is cut out, making the game unplayable. Is it that difficult for a developer to adapt for newer phone displays? Last update was in 2014... I'm a big fan, I've the Broken Sword collectors edition for PC. I would like to play it, when I don't have my PC, on my phone. Please Revolution Software don't abandon us 🙏🏻

Beautifully crafted by the masters at Revolution Software. It truly captures what made the original Broken Sword an unforgetful experience - unique characters, art style, story and plot. It is a shame the game is short and would have loved to see more of it as I know once it's over, sadly you would have to wait a very long time as I have waited since Broken Sword 2 came out in 1997. Every scene is beautifully crafted and puzzles will keep you engaged. A MUST BUY!
