Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror is a point and click adventure game from Revolution Software Limited that has been perfectly adapted for iOS devices.

In this sequel to Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, you start out as George Stobbart, whose girlfriend, Nico, was kidnapped. He himself is now trapped in a burning house, tied to a chair. You must get him out of the house and start a long and dangerous journey to rescue Nico.

Once George rescues Nico, you will be able to play as her at various different points throughout the game. The two are occasionally separated, sometimes by choice and sometimes by force, and have to use their own inventory and wits to solve the puzzles that lie ahead.

In addition to offering plenty of exploration and puzzles for adventure gamers, the Broken Sword series is full of humor and sarcasm that sets it apart from other games in the genre. For example, you pick up a tequila worm in the first room and you can show it to almost everyone you meet on your travels to see what their reactions are. You don’t need to talk to every NPC or exhaust every topic of discussion, but you’ll miss out on some real gems if you don’t. Broken Sword 2 is a game you should take your time with and really savor.

The 2D graphics are lovely and look great even on a small iPhone screen. The soundtrack is also perfect for the game, always changing the location and the plot to immerse you in the game. It’s a real work of art.

If you are a fan of point and click adventures, you will not want to miss this game. It’s available for PC, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, so there are plenty of ways to get it.

If you need help, here are some tips and tricks:

1. For touch screens, slide your finger across the screen to see what items you can interact with. That way you won’t miss anything important.

2. Try mixing items by dragging them onto each other if none of your items are doing the job on their own.

3. Some parts of the game require precise timing or you might die! Make sure to save frequently and to different save slots so you don’t have to play too much if you lose.

That should help you start your adventure in Broken Sword 2. Enjoy!
