Hoping for an update, so I won’t delete it yet. ### 4/5 — Разгадка шифра *2025-11-09* Год назад купила пакет, не работала именно эта игра, вылетала, решила пройти на оригинале и о чудо все работает, потом поняла что достаточно только шифр каждый раз разгадывать на английском ### 4/5 — No sound? *2025-06-28, version 2.0.8* iOS 18.5, iPhone 14 pro: no sound. Any advice? ### 2/5 — What did they do to it??? *2025-04-24, version 2.0.8* The game starts out totally wrong. It's supposed to start with the clown at the cafe. Even the Evercade version is better. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-02-11, version 2.0.8* Great story and fun challenges ### 5/5 — اضافة *2024-09-30, version 2.0.8* بروكن سورد هنا اضافوا قصة نيكول الصحفية الفرنسية بالجزء الأول كانت تبدأ القصة عند جورج ستوبارت في المقهى. تم حالياً إعادة رسم اللعبة الأصلية دون جزء نيكول بالكامل وربما ستنزل في الايفون لا اعلم ولكنها موجودة في ستيم باسم Broken Sword reforged ### 5/5 — Now in 4K! *2024-09-23, version 2.0.8* The 4K version has been released for other platforms. This game is made with so much love, go and buy the remastered version if you have a PS5/Xbox/PC ### 4/5 — So fun *2024-09-03, version 2.0.8* This is one of my fav games ever . The characters are amazing and the clues are so clever . I’ve played the whole series , and I can’t wait for broken sword 6 !! ### 3/5 — Fun game *2024-06-20, version 2.0.8* Pretty fun game if you like point and click adventure where controls and demands are a bit longer (for example, you have to watch the character walk from place to place without a skip button or move in a faster speed). Very much like other comments I have read, the controls aren’t the easiest and the accuracy is not the greatest so if you don’t have patience, you will find the game unenjoyable but I have enjoyed it. It is a good story line with fun little puzzles to solve along the way. ### 4/5 — Nostalgie *2024-06-10, version 2.0.8* Шикарная игра из прошлого с классным сюжетом. Ностальгия. Такие квесты были очень популярны на момент выхода этой игры. При прохождении на текстовых загадках лучше включить английский язык. Пару вылетов, но в целом шикарные впечатления. 👁️🫦👁️ ### 5/5 — Классика *2024-05-27, version 2.0.8* Не вылетает ### 5/5 — Classic Point & Click Adventure *2024-05-21, version 2.0.8* While I didn’t play this when it was originally out I used to play a lot of other classic point & click adventure games so this really brought back the nostalgia. It’s a great game in its own right though with a really interesting story and great characters. I definitely recommend checking it out! ### 4/5 — Great Game *2024-05-18, version 2.0.8* i remember playing this game on ps1 years ago i’m really glad that it is now available for the iPhone.. going to play Broken Sword 2 next. the only bad thing is i can’t seem to find Broken Sword 3 or 4, i’m guessing that they haven’t made the phone version of these games.. which is a shame. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-03-07, version 2.0.8* I play this every year or two on my iPad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2026-06-25, version 2.0.8* I’ve tried about 200 times to get the hairpin in the hole in desk, but it’s impossible. I’ve given up now and will ask for a refund. ### 1/5 — Вылетает с игры! *2025-02-08* Почти в самом начале вылетает из игры! Или исправьте или верните деньги! ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2024-08-23* Вылетает раз в минуту. Невозможно играть. Айпад про 2, последняя прошивка. Либо исправляйте, либо возврат денег ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2024-07-31* Вылетает, верните деньги ### 1/5 — Постоянно вылетает *2024-03-22, version 2.0.8* За деньги такое качество неприемлемо ### 1/5 — вылетает *2024-02-28, version 2.0.8* Игра вылетает после нахождения записки ### 1/5 — No sound *2024-02-13, version 2.0.8* Звук в игре отсутствует, все настройки стоят на максимум. Ни диалогов, ни окружающей среды, ни музыкального сопровождения не слышно. Как это исправить? ### 1/5 — Unplayable on my phone *2024-01-30, version 2.0.8* I was looking forward to playing this after having it recommended to me by a friend and reading the reviews. Sadly it’s totally unplayable on my iPhone SE. It’s laggy and unresponsive making it an agonising experience. The game support button takes you to a newsletter sign up. I’ve emailed asking for a refund but haven’t heard anything back. ### 1/5 — Please add controller support *2024-01-26, version 2.0.8* Please add controller support ### 1/5 — Touch controls frustrating *2023-06-01, version 2.0.8* I have to push buttons three and four times before they actually work. When there was a button at the very top of the screen I was just madly tapping like twenty times with no reaction from the game. I bought the 3 game bundle just now, and can’t say I feel great about it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WHAT A GAME! THIS IS A MUST!!! *2026-06-10, version 2.0.8* Okay WOW, what a game!!! It was fun, funny, and engaging the whole way through, and honestly felt more like watching a movie than playing one. The story, the characters, the writing that actually made me laugh out loud… I was hooked the entire time!! The wildest part? I wasn’t even born when this came out, so finding it now felt like digging up buried treasure everyone else walked right past!!! Total hidden gem and I’m SO happy I found it. Huge thanks and all the best to the developers, keep up the amazing work!!! ### 5/5 — Melhor jogo da AppStore *2026-04-28* Apenas comprem!
