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

During what we might tentatively call Lara Croft's dark ages, when the series took a brief hiatus, one of the attempts to reinvent it came in the form of the distinct twin-stick shooter, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Now, fans of the 2010 original can relive the nostalgia by playing this revamped version on their iOS and Android devices.

The plot of Lara Croft: Guardian of Light follows the iconic tomb raider as she teams up with the immortal Mayan warrior Totec to prevent the release of an ancient evil. As expected, this title supports both local and online multiplayer, making it a perfect co-op experience brought to you by Feral Interactive.

While the game focuses heavily on action, it also offers a rich variety of puzzles. From classic parkour challenges to more cerebral trap-laden puzzles, players can engage their minds between bouts of shooting. The game's diverse environments, ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, add to its appeal beyond just action-packed gameplay.

Since their successful port of the acclaimed Alien: Isolation, Feral Interactive has set the standard for mobile adaptations of popular games. Even their somewhat controversial remaster of Total War: Rome managed to maintain solid mechanics, demonstrating their prowess in the field of game porting.
