Retro Review - Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
Broken Sword: The Legend of the Templars, was the first graphic adventure I tried when I did not know what a graphic adventure, I remember playing it from an early age and I forget that game , The years passed and I came back to mind, but I did not remember the name and did not know exactly how to look for it on the Internet, until finally I gave for this great game and I could experience its great history.
The story of Broken Sword: The Legend of the Templars, begins when our protagonist George Stobbart.
An American who is in Paris vacations, is surprised when suddenly in the cafeteria where a coffee is being taken a man enters with a briefcase and soon after a clown enters, he exchanges the briefcase leaving his Musical instrument on the ground and flees, after a few minutes this explodes killing the man in the briefcase, now the charismatic George Stobbart witnesses a murder.
With the help of Nicole Collard, a journalist, together they are engaged in a great adventure that is full of, comparisons and the mystery of the cult of the Knights Templar.
During our adventure, we will explore different places like, Ireland, Syria, Spain and Scotland always in search of the killer, interacting with the characters as long as they get the necessary clues.
The game according to my criteria, the years did not fall on him, since even for this time has excellent graphics, because the game is presented as an animated film and as much as the characters, animations and the environment are very well polished.
The gameplay of this game is excellent, Broken Sword belongs to the category of games "Point and Click", being a totally game mode, but where can we Finding some difficulty is in the puzzles and in some situations where you apply think enough, but in spite of that it is not a game that will frustrate you too.
The music and sound of this game are impeccable, always suited to the scenario and the situation. The game is doubled to the Spanish of Spain and despite being Latin the voices seemed perfect for each character and giving the correct tone to the personalities of each one.
Despite the years Broken Sword is still an excellent game (also its sequels) even better than many today, given its history, well-developed characters, well-made animations, well-drawn landscapes and excellent music. An excellent graphic adventure record for anyone, do not hesitate to give it a try.
