The Broken Sword Collection

Revolution Software's celebrated Broken Sword series has entertained and enthralled gamers for over 20 years and we're delighted to bring the first two classic adventures to Evercade in their 32-bit console form on one phsyical cartridge with the Broken Sword Collection.

Released in 1996 following its debut on PC, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars brought the charm of point-and-click adventure games to console players. The game follows American tourist George Stobbart as he becomes embroiled in a globe-trotting mystery involving the Knights Templar. The 32-bit version retained the beautifully hand-drawn visuals, witty dialogue, and challenging puzzles that made the game a hit on PC while adapting the control scheme to suit console controllers. Accompanied by a memorable soundtrack and an engaging story, the game introduced a broader audience to its cinematic approach to storytelling and immersive gameplay.

In 1999, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror brought another dose of mystery and adventure. This sequel reunites George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard in a thrilling narrative centered on Mayan myths and sinister conspiracies. The 32-bit version maintained the series' hallmark hand-drawn artwork and engaging character interactions while expanding on the story with more exotic locations and an added sense of danger.
