Key aspects of gameplay
Original Tomb Raider game was released back in 1996. Since then numerous parts and spin-offs have appeared on a variety of platforms and have sold millions of copies. In addition, Hollywood shoot several films in this universe. Canadian studio Square Enix Montreal created Lara Croft Go about five years ago. Now another game for android has come out. Unlike Lara Croft Go, Tomb Raider Reloaded focuses on action and adventure. Developers describe the game as a “shareware arcade game” as it has a micro transaction system that allows fans to discover new content.
Overcome dangerous obstacles
New version of the game provides Lara with new challenges. Dangerous gorges, dense jungles, snow-covered cities – she has to visit these places. Main character needs to survive, so players have to show miracles of reaction and logic in order to go further. Ancient tombs, majestic waterfalls and long caves await Croft with all its dangers. Play carefully to get out of each location safe. If you do everything right in Tomb Raider Reloaded, you can get a chance to fight epic bosses, including the Tyrannosaurus.
By the way, there is also system of upgrades in Tomb Raider Reloaded. Players can improve number of lives for main character, speed and other combat skills. Before some levels, you can choose even additional improvement. For example, make pistol cartridges more powerful, add bursting effect or make bullets ricocheted. All this makes the gameplay more varied and exciting.
Shoot them all!
Developers of Tomb Raider Reloaded put a lot of emphasis on gunfights without overcoming traps in classic gameplay. Game is most similar to the classic arcade 2D corridor shooter from the 80s. Genre, of course, is classic, but has little to do with original games about the famous Tomb Raider. Whether it is good or not is up to players to judge, but this fact can be frustrating. There are many shootouts and Lara’s main weapon remains the same – two pistols.
There is no multiplayer, but there is a system of trophies obtained for completing a particular task. During the playthrough, game difficulty increases a little, but we consider such a monotonous approach as a minus. Game features top view and all the player needs to do is shoot enemies played by bats, golems and other evil spirits. In addition, the developers constantly offer players to buy some cool weapons or equipment. You often need to donate to do this. This fact is upsetting.
Overall quality
Tomb Raider Reloaded, as we said, has top-view camera. It has anything similar with original series, but it is perfectly acceptable for the android version. We were pleased with large number of sounds and music in the game. App can take up a different amount of free memory on the device, as it depends on your gadget. You may need to download additional content.
One-hit kill mod
We bring to the attention of our users a mod for Tomb Raider Reloaded, which allows you to kill all opponents with one shot. This mod can help you to cope with shootouts easily. You only need to download the game to your device in order to activate provided mod.
Summing up
Tomb Raider Reloaded project turned out to be very controversial. At the time of this writing, it is in Early Access. Perhaps developers will make more changes and improve the game. However, we can say for sure that this game has very little in common with original series. Dull gunfights, few interesting puzzles and poaching money from users through micro transactions are unlikely to appeal to true fans of Lara Croft’s adventures. If you have never played this series, then you might like Reloaded. Fans of the same series are better off passing by. Our team rates the program as “satisfactory” – only for interesting upgrading system and as respect for Tomb Raider universe.
