Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, the beloved twin-stick shooter from 2010, has been revamped and is now available on iOS and Android. This release brings the thrill of Lara Croft's adventures directly to your mobile devices, allowing you to dive back into the nostalgia of her "dark ages" when the series took a brief hiatus.
In the game, Lara Croft teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. This cooperative endeavor is supported by Feral Interactive, offering both local and online multiplayer options. Whether you choose to play as Lara or Totec, you're in for a thrilling experience.
While the game emphasizes action, it also includes a variety of puzzles that range from classic parkour to intricate, trap-laden challenges. These puzzles provide a cerebral break from the action, challenging you to think strategically between bouts of shooting. The game's diverse environments, from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, add depth to the gameplay, ensuring that action isn't the only allure.
Feral Interactive, known for their exceptional mobile adaptations like Alien: Isolation, continues to set the gold standard in this field. Even their remaster of Total War: Rome, while divisive, was solid in terms of mechanics, showcasing their ability to handle classics with care.
