Lara Croft: Guardian of Light relaunched for iOS, Android - Available Now

During what we might call Lara Croft's dark ages, when the series took a brief hiatus, the unique twin-stick shooter Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light emerged as a bold reinvention. Now, fans of the 2010 original can dive back into the nostalgia on their Android and iOS devices.

In Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, the iconic tomb raider joins forces with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. This cooperative adventure supports both local and online multiplayer, courtesy of Feral Interactive, making it perfect for teamwork.

While the game leans heavily into action, it doesn't skimp on the puzzles. From classic parkour to intricate, trap-laden challenges, players can engage their minds between bouts of combat. The game's diverse environments, ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, add an extra layer of excitement.

CroftySince their successful port of Alien: Isolation, Feral Interactive has set the benchmark for mobile adaptations of renowned titles. Even their somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome maintained solid mechanics, proving that it's challenging to satisfy everyone when reworking a classic.
