by

  • Lara Croft: Guardian of Light is out now on iOS and Android
  • This revamp of the 2010 original takes Lara Croft into twin-stick shooting action
  • Choose either Lara or immortal Mayan warrior Totec

In a period that could be referred to as Lara Croft’s less prosperous era, when the series took a break for some time, one effort to reimagine it materialized as the unique twin-stick shooter titled Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. If you recall this 2010 launch, you can now relive the nostalgia by playing it on your Android or iOS devices!

In the storyline of Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, Lara Croft, the famous tomb raider, joins forces with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent an ancient evil from emerging. Given this setup, it’s not surprising that Lara Croft: Guardian of Light is a cooperative game, and Feral Interactive ensures compatibility for both local and online multiplayer sessions.

Guardian of Light offers a balance between action and puzzles. Whether it’s physical challenges like parkour or mental tests involving traps, there are opportunities for both physical and mental engagement. Moreover, the game provides diverse environments to explore, ranging from toxic swamps to vast tombs and volcanic caverns. This variety ensures that there’s more to Guardian of Light than just action-packed sequences.

Ever since they successfully adapted Alien: Isolation for mobile devices, Feral Interactive has set the bar high for quality adaptations of popular games. Their remastered version of Total War: Rome, despite some differing opinions, was quite robust in terms of gameplay mechanics. When it comes to refining a classic, it’s challenging to satisfy everyone’s expectations.

If you’re looking for something different in your gaming experience, consider switching genres and trading action for a terrifying adventure.
