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 unique 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 you might expect, this game supports both local and online multiplayer, making it a great co-op experience, courtesy of Feral Interactive.

While the game emphasizes action, it also includes a variety of puzzles. Whether you're navigating classic parkour or solving more cerebral, trap-laden challenges, you'll get to exercise your mind between bouts of shooting. Coupled with the ability to explore diverse environments ranging from toxic swamps to endless tombs and volcanic caverns, Guardian of Light offers more than just action-packed gameplay.

Ever since their porting of the excellent Alien: Isolation, Feral Interactive has set the gold standard for mobile adaptations of popular games. Even their somewhat divisive remaster of Total War: Rome was solid in terms of mechanics. When tinkering with a classic, it's impossible to please everyone, but Feral Interactive has consistently delivered high-quality ports.
