    It did last about 10 hours. Which is about the same time as the other games, really. It may not seem much, but if it's well within the series average, I think it's good enough.

    It did last about 10 hours. Which is about the same time as the other games, really. It may not seem much, but if it's well within the series average, I think it's good enough. Some say it looks dated, I say it looks nostalgic. It reminded me of the second game, and I really enjoyed that. I thought it was good value for my money.

    That said, as much as the first part is fine, the second borders on silly and a bit of Indiana Jones plagiarism. The overall impression being that the second part, that was released later than expected, was a bit rushed.    … Expand

    As I die hard fan of these games this port is perfect , I have finished the game 3 times now and no problems with it and it is one of the best point and click adventure games out there in my opinion . Excellent voice acting and good clarity this is a must by if you are into point & click adventure games like syberia or still life

    This game thrives on the vita! The oled screen brings the gorgeous drawn backgrounds to life and the 3D models act out a well told story. The touch screen controls work well but like all touch screen games, precision is not always perfect. Saying that the game suits the touch screen and puzzles are a test of brain power and persistence. The game isn't that long but for this genre on theThis game thrives on the vita!

    ent's Curse: Episode 1 continues on in this tradition, I say bring on the anachronisms. If they're all as well made as The Serpent's Curse is, then that's a throwback I'm happy to see.

    The troublesome touch controls result in a lesser experience, but at its core Broken Sword 5 is still a solid adventure game.

    There’s clearly been a lot of love invested into Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse – Episode 1, and it will take franchise fans on a trip down memory lane as a result.
