During what might be referred to as Lara Croft's dark ages, when the series took a break, the iconic character was reimagined in the 2010 twin-stick shooter, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Now, fans can dive back into the nostalgia with its release on iOS and Android, bringing this classic experience right into the palm of your hand.
In Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, the famous tomb raider teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the release of an ancient evil. This adventure supports both local and online multiplayer, making it a perfect co-op experience. Feral Interactive, known for their exceptional mobile ports, ensures a seamless gameplay experience on these platforms.
While the game emphasizes action, it doesn't skimp on puzzles. From classic parkour to intricate trap-laden challenges, players will find plenty of opportunities to engage their minds between bouts of shooting. The game's diverse settings, ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, add to its allure, offering more than just action-packed gameplay.
Feral Interactive has set a high standard for mobile adaptations, particularly since their work on the critically acclaimed Alien: Isolation. Even their somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome maintained solid mechanics, proving their capability in handling beloved classics. If you're looking for a change of pace from action-packed adventures, consider exploring the eerie depths of Black Salt Games' eldritch fishing simulation, Dredge, for a different kind of thrill.
