Lara Croft: Guardian of Light relaunches on iOS and Android - available now

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, the beloved 2010 twin-stick shooter, has now been revamped and is available on iOS and Android, bringing nostalgia right to your fingertips. This mobile version reintroduces fans to the thrilling world where Lara Croft teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the release of an ancient evil. The game is not only a solo adventure but also supports both local and online multiplayer, allowing you to join forces with a friend to tackle the challenges ahead.

While the core of Lara Croft: Guardian of Light leans heavily into action-packed twin-stick shooting, it doesn't skimp on the puzzle elements that are a hallmark of the Lara Croft series. Players will navigate through classic parkour sections and engage in brain-teasing, trap-laden challenges, providing a balanced mix of action and cerebral gameplay. The game's diverse environments, from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, offer a rich backdrop for exploration and adventure.

Feral Interactive, known for their excellent mobile ports such as Alien: Isolation, has once again set the standard with this release. Their work on Lara Croft: Guardian of Light showcases their prowess in adapting popular titles for mobile platforms, providing a seamless and engaging experience. Even their remaster of Total War: Rome, while divisive, maintained solid mechanics, demonstrating their commitment to quality.
