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

Lara Croft fans, rejoice! The beloved 2010 game, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, has been revamped and is now available on iOS and Android devices. This release marks a thrilling return for Lara Croft, transforming the classic into a dynamic twin-stick shooting experience. Players can choose to take control of either Lara Croft herself or the immortal Mayan warrior Totec, offering diverse gameplay options.

Set during a period some might call Lara Croft's "dark ages," when the franchise took a temporary hiatus, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was a bold reinvention of the series. Now, fans old and new can relive or discover this nostalgic adventure right in the palm of their hands on mobile devices.

In the game, Lara teams up with Totec to prevent the release of an ancient evil. This cooperative aspect is enhanced by Feral Interactive's support for both local and online multiplayer, making it a perfect game for duo adventures. Beyond the action, Guardian of Light is packed with puzzles, ranging from classic parkour challenges to more intricate, trap-laden conundrums. Between bouts of shooting, players will get to exercise their problem-solving skills. The game also offers diverse environments to explore, from toxic swamps and endless tombs to volcanic caverns, ensuring that action isn't the only draw.

Feral Interactive has established itself as a leader in mobile adaptations, with their work on titles like Alien: Isolation setting a high bar. Even their remaster of Total War: Rome, despite being somewhat controversial, was praised for its solid mechanics. When it comes to reimagining classics, pleasing everyone is a tall order, but Feral Interactive consistently delivers quality experiences.
