Lara Croft GO launches on Windows Phone

The iconic tomb raider brings a mix of action and board game-style strategy to this exciting new game for your Lumia.

Spelunk caves, raid tombs, solve puzzles, and defeat monsters in “Lara Croft GO,” a new turn-based game released today in the Windows Phone app store.

Lead Lara through exotic environments one strategic point at a time and from a top-down perspective in this edition–inspired by the classic board game “GO” –of the popular “Tomb Raider” game series. The gameplay is similar to that of “Hitman GO” (also from Square Enix), which was released on Windows Phone earlier this year.

As Lara, you’ll explore the ruins of an ancient civilization, discover hidden secrets, and face deadly challenges to uncover the myth of the Queen of Venom.

Even though the action is turn-based, there’s no mistaking that this is a “Tomb Raider” game. “Lara Croft GO” has all the iconic elements you’ve come to expect from the series, like climbing down vines, jumping over obstacles, triggering hidden switches, evading traps, and battling creepy-crawly creatures.

Lara also looks great, too. The game features gorgeous visuals (perfect for playing on a Lumia 640 XL’s big screen) and a mesmerizing soundtrack.

“Lara Croft GO’ is available globally and supports multiple languages. It’s also compatible with 512MB Lumia devices.
