Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror – Remastered now at App Store

16 Dec, 2010

Revolution Software has today announced that its latest app, the sequel Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror – Remastered, is available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror features an exclusive interactive digital comic from Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons as well as new animated facial expressions, enhanced graphics, a context-sensitive hint system and diary. The game also features Dropbox integration which facilitates cross-platform save-game feature, enabling players to enjoy the same adventure simultaneously across iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch as well as full Game Center integration – including in-game achievements – and many other new enhancements.

Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror sees journalist Nico Collard unexpectedly stumble across a mysterious ancient artefact. Little does she know that the ornately-carved obsidian stone will lead her, and her companion George Stobbart, into a mysterious escapade of intrigue and deceit, in which they must overcome powerful forces and antagonists who are trying to stop them. Torment and terror, sacrificial rituals, and bloody massacre is unearthed beneath a veil of Mayan mystery. Kidnap, stolen treasure, astronomy, and a deadly drug baron are the least of the duo’s worries, as divine forces threaten to annihilate mankind.

The game sounds very similar to Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light, but as you can see from the screenshots below it has a completely different look and feel.
