Lovers of the Lara Croft universe will soon have a new title to play on their mobile devices. Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have been working with the Simutronics developer team to bring it to market.or Lara Croft: Relic Run, a game that is based on a mechanic that has already proven its strength for these platforms with the Temple Run saga, among other examples, and that will arrive for all major operating systems: Android, iOS and Windows.
The new game of the popular Lara Croft It will soon be ready for a global launch, although for now it has only been pre-released in the Netherlands as a test, with the aim that as many users as possible download it, test it and send their feedback with the bugs and optimization issues you find, so that the final version reaches official app stores around the world as polished as possible.
As we said, the main mechanics of the game are reminiscent of titles like Temple Run, with which it even shares the setting to some extent. But the trio formed by Crystal Dynamics, Square Enix and the developers of Simutronics has wanted to give a further twist by incorporating phases in which combat moves to normal development. vehicles, areas where you will have to take out the guns to kill the enemies and final bosses those who will have to be defeated to continue advancing. There will also be all kinds of collectibles that we will have to collect as we progress through the levels.
A frenetic mix that adapts perfectly to the simple gameplay that many users are looking for for tablets and smartphones. The intention is also that the game rescue the nostalgia of those who have followed the adventures of this charismatic character on other platforms. A safe bet, since other Lara Croft titles have triumphed, the clearest example we have with Tomb Raider which ranks as one of the top sellers on Google Play after its launch just a few weeks ago.
The business model will be different in this case, betting on the free-to-play. We will have to see how it is executed, but we assume that as in other titles we can buy lives or improvements so that the action does not stop and we have to wait for them to regenerate over time. A point clearly in its favor is that it will come both for Android and iOS as if to Windows, operating system that many video game companies forget about.
