Lara Croft: Guardian of Light relaunched for iOS and Android, available now

During what could be referred to as Lara Croft's dark ages, when the iconic series took a temporary hiatus, a unique reinvention emerged with the twin-stick shooter, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Fans of the 2010 original can now rekindle that nostalgia, as this revamped version is available on both iOS and Android platforms!

The narrative of Lara Croft: Guardian of Light follows the famed tomb raider as she joins forces with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. As expected, the game supports both local and online multiplayer, enhancing the co-op experience brought to us by Feral Interactive.

While the game leans heavily into action, Lara Croft: Guardian of Light also offers a rich variety of puzzles. From classic parkour to intricate, trap-laden challenges, players will find plenty of opportunities to engage their minds between the action-packed shooting segments. Furthermore, the game allows players to explore diverse environments, from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, ensuring that action is just one part of the thrilling experience.

Feral Interactive has earned a reputation as the gold standard for mobile adaptations since their port of the critically acclaimed Alien: Isolation. Even their somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome managed to maintain solid mechanics, despite the challenges of updating a beloved classic.

For those looking for a change of pace from action-packed gaming, consider diving into the eerie depths of horror. Our review of Black Salt Games' eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, can help you decide if it's the right catch for your gaming library.
