Broken Sword: An adventure worth funding

August 27th, 2012

Long time Arena readers know I'm a sucker for adventure games. I cut my teeth on them, and have adored the Broken Sword series since it debutted 14 years ago. 

Which is why I'm pleased to promote this: Broken Sword's new sequel on Kickstarter. The game is scheduled for release next year, promises the same whitty dialog franchise fans have come to expect, and a lot more brain-busting puzzles. 

That, and the hand drawn 2D visuals are downright gorgeous. 

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the digitally remastered original games. Then head over to Kickstarter if it's something you'd like to back.

Looks interesting. I might have to follow up on this. Always been a big fan of Monkey Island and other good ol' Adenture Games. :D

I love Adventure games like this. I wish some other point and click adventure games got remastered. The Dig would be pretty epic.

Awesome i love the broken sword games xD, don't know why we have to fund it tho if its legit they should have a game company backing it, They would make profit from us when we brought the game.

Never played the series personally. The art looks good though, I'd try it if it's F2P xD

I personally have never been a fan for these sorts of games, but I might give it a try now :)

Anyone got some input on it?
