Lara Croft: Guardian of Light Now Available on iOS and Android

During a period often referred to as Lara Croft's "dark ages," when the iconic series took a brief hiatus, the innovative twin-stick shooter Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light emerged as a fresh take on the franchise. 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, the story follows Lara as she teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the unleashing of an ancient evil. This cooperative adventure supports both local and online multiplayer, allowing you to join forces with a friend to tackle the challenges ahead.

While Guardian of Light emphasizes action, it doesn't skimp on the puzzles that fans of the series have come to love. From classic parkour sequences to intricate, trap-filled challenges, the game offers a perfect balance of action and brain-teasing puzzles. You'll navigate through diverse environments, from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, ensuring a rich and varied gaming experience.

CroftyFeral Interactive, known for their exceptional mobile adaptations, has once again delivered a top-notch port. Since their work on Alien: Isolation, Feral has set the gold standard in mobile gaming ports. Even their somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome managed to retain solid mechanics, a testament to their skill in handling classic titles.

If you're looking to switch gears from action to something more atmospheric, consider diving into the eerie world of Dredge by Black Salt Games. Our review of this eldritch fishing simulator might just convince you to spend a few pounds (of salmon) on a different kind of adventure.
