Lara Croft: Guardian of Light relaunched for iOS and Android

During what might be referred to as Lara Croft's dark ages, when the series was on a temporary hiatus, an innovative reinvention emerged with the twin-stick shooter, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Originally released in 2010, fans can now immerse themselves in this nostalgic adventure on their mobile devices, available on both iOS and Android platforms.

In Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, players join forces with Lara and the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. This title not only offers a single-player experience but also supports cooperative gameplay, with Feral Interactive enabling both local and online multiplayer modes.

While the game emphasizes action, it also includes a robust selection of puzzles. From traditional parkour to intricate trap-based challenges, players will find opportunities to engage their minds amidst the action. The diverse settings, ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, enhance the game's appeal beyond mere combat.

CroftyFeral Interactive has established itself as a leader in mobile game adaptations since their work on Alien: Isolation. Their efforts, including the somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome, showcase a commitment to maintaining solid game mechanics, even when revisiting classics can be a challenging endeavor.
