User Reviews

Broken Sword 5 is visually rich with a strong story, solid puzzles, and notable voice acting, earning praise for its series’ continuity and value. However, recurring issues include an extra $5.99 for Episode 2, various bugs and save/sync problems, and frustrating touch interactions on small screens. Some puzzles feel non-intuitive, and compatibility quirks (iOS version support and display scaling) dampen the experience for a subset of players.

Pros

Stunning graphics and artwork.
Compelling story with well-balanced puzzles.
Excellent voice acting and memorable soundtrack.
Good value for money and a strong continuation of the Broken Sword series.

Cons

Requires an additional in-app purchase for Episode 2 and some players feel the second part is short for the price.
Bugs and progression issues, including lost progress, Episode 2 purchase/launch problems, and save/sync across devices.
UI/controls on small devices can be awkward, making item interaction and dragging difficult.
Some puzzles not intuitive and occasional design quirks (drag/drop and specific puzzle glitches).
iOS compatibility concerns (noted lack of iOS 13 support on some devices) and screen scaling issues on certain iPhone models.

As a backer of this game I am very proud 💕

I just bought this game for the iPhone 14 in 2022 with the 6,1 inch display which is not huge to begin with and the game only occupies like 70% of the screen! It has big black bars on each side of the screen and the battery level and time at the top of the screen don't even go away. It's like playing a pirated version of a game on Android. I understand this in a game like Beneath a Steel Sky, but not in this more modern game. It was there that I realized it hadn't been updated since iOS 13. I really wanted to enjoy it but I guess if you dont have an iPad it's going to be a very lacking experience. I really wish they updated it but I highly doubt it.
