The first episode of Revolution Software's adventure game reboot Broken Sword 5 - the Serpent's Curse is now available on Android.

The Serpent's Curse sees Revolution attempting to go back to the series's roots. We called it a "pleasant and beautiful return".

However, we also noted that it is "completely spoiled by lame puzzles, slow progress, a bland plot, bad jokes. and lots of bugs".

You can jump back into the boots of self-appointed detective George Stobbart and his French accomplice Nico Stollard on 'droid for the price of £4.99.
