Lara Croft: Guardian of Light Re-Released on iOS and Android

During a period often referred to as Lara Croft's dark ages, when the iconic series took a backseat, a unique reinvention emerged with the twin-stick shooter, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Originally released in 2010, fans can now dive back into the nostalgia with the revamped version available on iOS and Android.

In Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, the renowned tomb raider teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. This cooperative adventure, brought to mobile by Feral Interactive, supports both local and online multiplayer, allowing players to join forces in their quest.

While the game leans heavily into action, it doesn't skimp on the puzzles. Players will encounter a mix of classic parkour challenges and more intricate, trap-laden brainteasers. Between the high-octane shooting, you'll have ample opportunity to exercise your problem-solving skills. The game also offers diverse environments to explore, from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, ensuring that action isn't the only draw.

Feral Interactive, known for their stellar mobile ports, including the acclaimed Alien: Isolation, has set the benchmark for quality in mobile adaptations. Even their controversial remaster of Total War: Rome managed to impress with its mechanics, proving their knack for handling classics with care.
