Lara Croft: Guardian of Light Re-released for iOS and Android

During what we might call Lara Croft's dark ages, when the series took a brief hiatus, a fresh take on the franchise emerged with the twin-stick shooter, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Originally released in 2010, this game is now available for you to enjoy on your iOS and Android devices, bringing a wave of nostalgia right to your fingertips!

In Lara Croft: Guardian of Light, our iconic tomb raider teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the release of an ancient evil. True to its cooperative essence, the game, developed by Feral Interactive, supports both local and online multiplayer, allowing you to enjoy the adventure with a friend.

While the game leans heavily into action, it doesn't skimp on the puzzles. From classic parkour to intricate trap-laden challenges, you'll find plenty of opportunities to engage your mind between bouts of shooting. The diverse environments, ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, add to the game's allure, ensuring that action isn't the only attraction.

Feral Interactive has set a high bar for mobile adaptations ever since their port of the acclaimed Alien: Isolation. Even their remaster of Total War: Rome, despite its mixed reception, showcased strong mechanics. It's clear that when it comes to bringing beloved titles to mobile, Feral Interactive knows their craft.
