Overview
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a brand new Lara Croft experience
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a brand new Lara Croft experience in which players take control of Lara and her unlikely ally, Totec, in an isometric adventure through beautiful landscapes, hazardous puzzles and boss battles on a grand scale. Using Crystal Dynamics’ proprietary gaming engine, Guardian of Light offers both single and cooperative play, as well as new additions to Lara’s arsenal such as the ever-handy grapple hook and Totec’s spears.
After years of travelling the world, hunting down some of the world’s most treasured and lost relics, Lara Croft has come across hundreds of leads towards other artifacts. She’s compiled these leads, stories and facts in a journal and the time has finally come to track down these illusive objects of desire.
The game begins with Lara discovering the lost Temple of Light, a resting place for an ancient artifact called the Mirror of Smoke. When she finally reaches the mirror, she is ambushed by an army led by a devious mercenary named Vasco. Vasco steals the mirror and releases Xolotl, an evil entity imprisoned in the mirror. Xolotl proceeds to kill Vasco and escapes with the Mirror of Smoke. Totec, The Guardian of Light, is awakened by the incident and confronts Lara, explaining the evil that has just been unleashed. With this, Totec and Lara must join forces to track down Xolotl, defeat him and retrieve the mirror before the world is plunged into a never-ending age of darkness.
Key Features:
- Cooperative Multiplayer - First ever co-op multiplayer action/adventure experience featuring Lara Croft. Play with a friend over the net or right next to him in the fully cooperative online and offline story mode.
- Coop-petition – Earn points as you blast your way to Xolotl. The more you kill, the more points you get to unlock items and weapons. Will you work together or will it be every person for themselves?
- Tailored Experience - Get two different experiences in single player and cooperative mode. Puzzles and gameplay have been tailored for whichever you want to play.
- Isometric View - A fast paced, visually stunning experience that takes place from a fixed isometric view, something completely new for the franchise
- Freedom of Choice - A wide range of options for solving puzzles and traversing deadly environmental traps, offering players an unprecedented level of freedom to choose their own solutions.
