Revolution Software has today released Broken Sword: The Director's Cut for the iPhone and iPod Touch. A remake of the developer's first classic point 'n' click adventure in the Broken Sword series from 1996, The Director's Cut edition originally appeared on the Wii and DS in 2009, to critical acclaim.
As with the versions for the Wii platforms, the iPhone release features new in-game artwork by Watchmen artist and long-time Revelation Software contributor Dave Gibbons.
"I am very proud that the game, and indeed the whole series, has maintained such a loyal following," says Charles Cecil, managing director of Revolution Software. "Since the launch of iPhone we have been bombarded with requests from fans to produce an app and the innovative multi-touch user interface is perfect for an adventure game - it really works very well."
As well as introducing puzzles and gags new to those who missed out on the Wii and DS version, Broken Sword: The Director's Cut on iPhone also uses the control scheme introduced in Revelation's remake of Beneath a Steel Sky for the iPhone, which saw release last year.
