## What is Broken Sword 5?

Episode 1 - Paris in the spring

Shots ring out from a gallery… a robbery… a murder… and the beginning of another epic, original Broken Sword adventure.

From multi-award winning Revolution comes the latest mystery in this much loved adventure-puzzle series. Playing as intrepid American George Stobbart and sassy French journalist Nico Collard, you find yourself on the trail of a stolen painting – and a murderous conspiracy. A conspiracy whose roots lie in mysteries older than the written word...

Armed only with logic, integrity and a wry sense of humor - can George and Nico save mankind from disaster? Can you solve the secret of the Serpent’s Curse? A curse some say was forged by the Devil himself...

• The latest in the smash hit multi-million selling Broken Sword series
• Gripping story, engaging puzzles, voiced by a top quality cast
• Highly acclaimed 'slide and tap' interface – simple but hugely powerful
• Context-sensitive help system – access hints to solve even the hardest puzzles
• Full Game Center integration – including in-game achievements

"immediately charming, Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse is easy to recommend based on its strong narrative, memorable characters, and artistic merit. The game is a vibrant return to form for the series." Gamespot 8/10

### 5/5 — Return to form

*2026-08-25, version 2.3.1*

Really enjoyed this game - was a decent return to form, and the essence of the original shone through.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-15, version 2.3.1*

I own this game but it won’t let me replay part two. Help!

### 4/5 — Episode 2 not available even after purchase!

*2026-05-14, version 2.3.1*

I had paid in full for the in-app purchase of Episode 2 of this game! The amount got deducted from my bank account as well ! But the Episode 2 is not showing as purchased ! Kindly rectify!

### 5/5 — Bellissimo

*2026-02-05, version 2.3.1*

Il mio gioco preferito da quando ero bambina gioco e rigioco le stesse saghe, vi prego fatene altre ❤️

### 3/5 — Preispolitik ist halt Einstellungssache 🤷‍♂️

*2025-11-20, version 2.3.1*

Ich stimme den Kommentaren um die Preispolitik zu: man fühlt sich als Kunde schon auf den Arm genommen, wenn man nur ein halbes Spiel kauft und den restlichen Teil nachkaufen soll. Warum nicht transparent gleich einen fairen Preis verlangen? Die Fans der Serie sind sicher gewillt, diesen auch zu zahlen! So macht es einen schon traurig, scheint doch Revolution etwas an der Reihe zu liegen. Ich habe mir z.B. gleich den ersten Teil als Reforged-Edition erneut gekauft (und was für ein Unterschied zu den Remastered-Versionen!!!). Revolution, das geht besser!

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-08-15, version 2.3.1*

As a backer of this game I am very proud 💕

### 2/5 — Bin hängen geblieben

*2025-07-11, version 2.3.1*

Leider auf IOS recht sperrige Bedienung, bin mitten im Spiel hängengeblieben, Gegenstand (ohne den es nicht weiter geht) ist nicht vorhanden. Schade.

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-06-05*

The best game of the point and click.

### 5/5 — Mein absolutes Lieblingsspiel

*2025-01-30, version 2.3.1*

Mir gefällt der fünfte Teil ganz besonders. Die Grafik ist super, das Spiel und die Dialoge sind einfach sehr witzig und ich finde den Preis für das Spiel von 6,99 € auch absolut nicht zu teuer, sondern recht günstig, wenn man sich vergegenwärtigt wie viel Arbeit in dem Spiel ist. Seit zehn Jahren spiele ich immer wieder Spieler auf meinem iPad aber das hier ist mein absolutes Lieblingsspiel.

### 5/5 — تحقيق وجريمة

*2025-01-11, version 2.3.1*

لعبة رائعة رسومات وجرافيكس عالي ومحادثات ممتعة هناك من يقول انها مملة بسبب كثرة الكلام لكنها لعبة تحقيق وليست مغامرات وأكشن. سلسة بروكن سورد من أفضل الألعاب بالنسبة لي. تبدأ القصة بجريمة وتحاول أن تحل الجريمة باللعب بشخصيتين جورج ستوبارت ونيكو كولارد وتتشابك الأدلة لدرجة تنصدم عند النهاية.
