## What is Broken Sword 2?

‘Broken Sword 2 – the Smoking Mirror: Remastered’ sees the return of George Stobbart and Nico Collard in the sequel to the App Store #1 smash hit ‘Broken Sword 1 – Shadow of the Templars: Director's Cut’, widely praised as the best adventure available for iPhone / iPad.

While investigating a ruthless drug gang, journalist Nico Collard unexpectedly comes across an ancient artifact. Little can she know that the ornately carved obsidian stone will lead her, and her adventuring companion George Stobbart, into a mysterious escapade of intrigue and deceit, in which they must overcome powerful forces and antagonists who will stop at nothing to fulfill their evil ambitions.

‘Broken Sword 2 - the Smoking Mirror: Remastered’ is a stunning update to the million-selling original. Along with an exclusive new interactive digital comic, from ‘Watchmen’ co-creator Dave Gibbons, the game boasts fully animated facial expressions, enhanced graphics throughout, high quality music as well as a context-sensitive hint system, and diary. The game also features Dropbox integration which facilitates a unique cross-platform save-game feature, enabling players to enjoy the same adventure simultaneously on multiple devices, full Game Center integration – including in-game achievements – and many other enhancements.

### 5/5 — Classic

*2026-03-02, version 2.0.3*

Such a great game I remember hunting for this game on the ps1 back in the early 2000s now you can play it on your phone so great this game needs to be played by anyone who loves old school point&click adventure games 😎

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-06, version 2.0.3*

Entertainment

### 2/5 — No Full Screen

*2025-12-21, version 2.0.3*

The game not being full screen is driving me insane. 😭 I hate it.

### 3/5 — Not as good as the first but decent

*2025-09-14, version 2.0.3*

I bought the bundle. First was good. This 2nd one is just okay so far. The puzzles are less intuitive and I find myself needing the hints a lot more. Some of the controls to exit a location are a bit janky. You really have to find the exact spot to tap for it to trigger the character leaving the area. I wish they just had a button for the map that grays out when they don’t want you hopping around. Still, I’ll stick it out and update the review if it picks up. Hopefully the next game is better.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-08-15, version 2.0.3*

I love all the Broken Sword games. I wish for a reforged for this one I don’t like that the faces hide part of the screen.

### 4/5 — BS2

*2025-04-24, version 2.0.3*

I’ve been playing this franchise for a while. GBA, Steam, PS2 and now just added the collection to my phone. It’s improved over the originals, but really guys, I can use controllers for every single platform out there these games are available on, and I can’t use my BackBone on these games? I would not have spent my money buying console games for the phone if I knew I wouldn’t even be able to use a backbone with it. HUGE disappointment. Not the game. Just the developers choice of not allowing a controller. I hate touch screen games

### 5/5 — Лучшая игра

*2025-03-30*

Самая любимая игра из квестов ❤️ еще бы так же восстановить «остров обезьян: проклятый остров»

### 5/5 — Still incredible

*2025-02-26, version 2.0.3*

I’ve played this multiple times since original release and it’s still an outstanding point and click. Great artwork, story, puzzles and voice acting. This iOS version is an excellent port / remaster of the game and I’d totally recommend.

### 5/5 — THE GOAT

*2024-12-29, version 2.0.3*

The Broken Sword games are truly amazing, from the art work that goes into them, the story, puzzles, locations and the characters. Everything about these games has been thought out brilliantly. I loved playing them as a boy and I love playing them now as an adult. I’m so pleased that they have stayed and evolved to new platforms. I can’t wait until Broken Sword 6 is made. If you like point and click adventures this is the game to get. If it’s not your thing I would definitely recommend you try out the games. Perhaps the story, characters or artwork will interest you. Top rated games, Top 5 Stars in my opinion.

### 5/5 — 😍

*2024-09-03, version 2.0.3*

Love this game , but every now and then there are little tweaks like the game freezing and you can’t play for an hour . That’s really rare though so I still love this
