Adaptation of the famous point and click on GBA. Surprisingly well executed for a handheld. The Templar investigation remains captivating even on a small screen.

Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars (GBA) price, value & rarity
Is Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars still worth playing in 2026?
A GBA adaptation of Revolution Software's famous point and click, Broken Sword follows American George Stobbart, witness to a bombing in Paris, set on the trail of a Templar plot. The investigation, its humour filled writing and its esoteric thriller mood keep their charm, but the move to GBA imposes noticeable compromises, from compressed backdrops to an interface poorly suited to the format. The adventure stays pleasant for those who accept the concessions. For a point and click fan or someone curious about Revolution's classic, the title keeps a real narrative interest.
