Play Broken Sword : The Shadow of the Templars Online
A bomb blows up your Paris café visit, so now you're digging through Templar conspiracies with a sarcastic journalist—poking at puzzles, chatting up goats, and squeezing every last drop of charm from that tiny GBA screen.
I first played Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars on the Game Boy Advance back in 2002, a port of the original PC point-and-click adventure by Revolution Software. It was a time when handhelds were starting to offer deeper, story-rich experiences, and this game stood out for its detailed art and mature tone. You don't see many games like this on a system known for platformers and RPGs; it felt like carrying a little piece of PC adventure gaming in your pocket.
You control George Stobbart, an American tourist caught up in a bombing in Paris, and Nico Collard, a French journalist. Your main goal is to unravel a conspiracy involving the Knights Templar by exploring environments screen by screen, collecting items, and solving logic-based puzzles. The gameplay hinges on interacting with everything and everyone, combining objects in your inventory, and engaging in extensive dialogue trees to uncover clues. The pacing is deliberate, sometimes slow, with puzzles that can stump you if you rush. It feels like being part of a clever, atmospheric mystery novel where every discovery matters.
