14 DAY TRIAL // Broken Sword 5 – The Serpent’s Curse Episode One, a point and click adventure developed by Charles Cecil and Revolution Software, is launching today on Steam for Linux.
It's been a long time since the last Broken Sword game, and today we get to see a new release in this iconic franchise.
The developers from Revolution Software have reunited a lot of the original members from the Broken Sword team, and the new game marks a return to the origins of true point and click adventures.
“The game sees the series return to point and click for the first time since Broken Sword 2 – to the genre in which Revolution has truly excelled. Broken Sword 5 – The Serpent’s Curse has re-united key members from the original Broken Sword team, with layout artists from studios such as Disney, Aardman, and Universal who have created sumptuous, classically drawn backgrounds. The rich, lavish HD art, evolves the art-style so loved in the previous Broken Sword games.”
Broken Sword 5 – The Serpent’s Curse: Episode One has been released on multiple platforms, including Linux. This is the first game in the series to see a Linux version in the entire history of the franchise.
“This has been a labour of love not just for us here at Revolution but the entire Broken Sword community too,” says Charles Cecil, founder, Revolution Software. “We have been privileged to be able to make the game we’ve wanted to thanks to the generous support of our Kickstarter supporters, who really have given us the freedom to take the series to new heights.”
The Linux system requirements are also quite acceptable and should allow almost anyone play the game: a 1.6 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, a video card with 256 MB, and 3 GB of available space.
Broken Sword 5 – The Serpent's Curse also benefits from a generous discount on Steam for Linux, 24%, which will end today.
