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

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, a revamped version of the beloved 2010 twin-stick shooter, is now available for iOS and Android devices. This release brings the iconic tomb raider back into action, allowing players to step into the shoes of either Lara Croft herself or the immortal Mayan warrior Totec. During a period often referred to as Lara Croft's "dark ages," when the series took a temporary hiatus, this game marked a significant attempt to breathe new life into the franchise. Now, fans can enjoy this nostalgic experience on their mobile devices.

In Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, players join forces with Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. The game supports both local and online multiplayer, making it perfect for cooperative play. Feral Interactive, known for their high-quality mobile adaptations, has ensured that this version retains the essence of the original while optimizing it for mobile gameplay.

While the game emphasizes action-packed twin-stick shooting, it also offers a rich variety of puzzles. From classic parkour challenges to intricate, trap-laden puzzles, players will need to engage their problem-solving skills between combat sequences. The diverse environments, ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, add to the game's appeal, offering a comprehensive adventure experience.

Feral Interactive has established itself as a leader in mobile game ports, particularly following their successful adaptation of Alien: Isolation. Their work on the somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome also showcased their commitment to maintaining game mechanics, even when faced with the challenge of updating a classic.
