### 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.

### 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

### 3/5 — No sound

*2024-03-14, version 2.0.3*

Love all broken sword game but unfortunately the sound isn’t playing on my phone, any tips on how to sort this issue??

### 5/5 — Georgieeee

*2022-09-11, version 2.0.3*

Class games takes me back to the old big computers now playing it on a mini iPhone 12 crazy!!!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia is real with this game!

*2022-07-20, version 2.0.3*

I remember being a kid and playing this on my ps1. Could there be controller support for it though? I bought a backbone for my iPhone and would love to be able to use it with this game!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-03-26, version 2.0.3*

The game was phenomenal. The puzzles, the story, the dialogue... everything was perfect.

### 5/5 — THE GOAT

*2022-02-11*

This game is by far the greatest of all time. Its a point and click adventure with amazing lovable, characters and a story that grips you. You won't be disappointed by the Broken Sword games. They are a classic that I'm so glad were brought to phones. I know it’s probably not going to happen but I would love to see Broken Sword 6.
Get this game if you love adventure games.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2022-01-20, version 2.0.3*

Perfect amount of difficulty, great adventure, super fun!!!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2022-01-01, version 2.0.3*

This game took me back to my PS1 days. It was such a beautiful and amazing game! I’m delighted to find it on the App Store.

### 5/5 — Winning formula

*2021-11-23, version 2.0.3*

A good progression from the first, more challenging puzzles and again a classic of the genre.

### 5/5 — Amazing game series!

*2021-09-22, version 2.0.3*

I’ve had the chance to play all of revolutions glorious point and click adventures and they amazingly written and produced! Play what you can here and then go out and buy the ones you can’t!

Having an issue with BS2. Interaction with old gendarme in montfacon after ponytail boy is gone. Game freezes but couldn’t find where to report issue?

### 4/5 — Cut scenes do not display properly

*2021-09-09, version 2.0.3*

This would be a solid five star game if it weren't for the fact that all of the cut scenes play in a tiny rectangle at the top of my screen, while the rest of the screen is black. Still a great game, despite that minor disappointment. Maybe support has a workaround for me? 🤔

### 5/5 — Definitive version

*2021-07-18*

As a fan, I replayed this on iPad. Broken Sword 2 The Smoking Mirror remastered can be said to be the definitive version. I wish I could say the same about the Shadow of the templars remastered but no the original was vastly superior - but this one, ironed out all niggles. Superb

### 5/5 — Nostalgia in the Present

*2021-07-01, version 2.0.3*

I remember playing these games as a kid with my Grandpa and I’m so happy I can relive the nostalgia!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2021-04-05, version 2.0.3*

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-03-17, version 2.0.3*

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2023-10-22, version 2.0.3*

Why are there no Easter eggs in the iPad version. They were always good for a laugh. Plus I’m stuck in that wheel puzzle room.George putting his head up in the watchman’s hut always made me laugh.
I feel cheated with this version.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work

*2021-03-07, version 2.0.3*

I can start the game but the game has no sound and after the video the screen is completely black. I bought it today, App Store say it works on my iPad so, fix it

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2021-01-24, version 2.0.3*

I like this game so when it froze I gave up and downloaded it again.
It happened again not in the same place but no way can I interact with the light switch so stuck again.
Really annoying

### 1/5 — Где ролики???

*2020-12-06*

За что деньги платят не понятно? За не до конца перенесенный порт?

### 1/5 — Just as I’d wrote a 5* review ....

*2020-11-16, version 2.0.3*

Absolutely love this game but it’s bugged out at 49% completion, at the tree house it won’t walk away from the press, really annoying

### 1/5 — Роликов нет

*2019-08-23*

Теряется сюжет. Такая игра без роликов не нужна :-(

### 1/5 — Видеоролики

*2019-05-04*

Покупал игру давно и все было супер, как на ps1. Решил перепройти и что я вижу? Вырезали видеоролики, зачем?! Пропадает весь сюжет...

### 1/5 — STUCK!!

*2019-02-26, version 2.0.2*

Bought this game and waste of money, no way is the boathook working with the fan. Soooo frustrating. Won’t buy another,!

### 1/5 — Обидно

*2018-01-29*

Столько взяли денег, а баг не исправили!! Верните деньги или доделайте!! На острове зомби на верху утёса нет спуска справа,?а по подсказке надо идти именно туда!! Всё игра встряла, если не исправят, то никто дальше не пройдёт ((((((( 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Верните деньги, буду писать жалобу((😡😡

### 1/5 — No IPhone X support

*2017-11-09, version 2.0.2*

Still no support for the new iPhones.

### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Much loved

*2024-08-24, version 2.0.3*

Loved and played for forever

### 5/5 — Best game series ever

*2024-03-07, version 2.0.3*

Play this every few years on my iPad love the nostalgia

### 5/5 — Halfway through the bundle

*2023-02-21, version 2.0.3*

Smooth gameplay and quite funny at times. Gets a bit boring waiting for him to walk everywhere. Fun. If you’re a fan of these games, and I am, then I highly recommend giving it a play.
