Tomb Raider: Koop games appear for the Nintendo Switch

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and its successors are the first Tomb Raider games for the switch.

In 2008, Tomb Raider appeared: Underworld, the second game of the series developed by Crystal Dynamics, when we climb the remake of the first part times. The title was not bad, but also not a great success. It became clear that the series needed a restart - and that came, but only five years later. Made Lara Croft in the meantime holiday? No, because 2010 published Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light as a download title for the Xbox 360 and shortly thereafter for the PC as well as the PlayStation 3. The game arrived well and 2014 appeared with Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris a successor.

Now Square Enix has announced on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Tomb Raider brand that both titles 2022 find the way to the Nintendo Switch. For porting mainly Feral Interactive responsible. The London Studio has already made experience with switch versions of games that were once developed for other platforms. So you brought the horror game Alien: isolation on the Nintendo console and made really good work. The CodeMasters racing game Grid: Autosport has ported Feral for the switch.

Concrete Release Dates for Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light and Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris For the Switch, Square Enix has not mentioned. Also, there is no details about the implementations. But that Tomb Raider games can run well on the platform, we have no doubt. As already mentioned, it is even one of the Xbox-360 and PS3 generation in the case of the former title. The successor is also graphically not very complex. We are just talking about downloading plays with isometric perspective, which points with cleverly designed coal gameplay and non-bombastic staging.

In both games, you either control the famous archaeologist or Totec, the guard of light. If you are twofold, each player has its solid role, while in single player mode at the push of a button switches between the two figures. You do not have a Ki colleague, which is why the levels differ slightly in both modes. Lara and Totec each have unique skills. While the heroine is equipped with her two pistols and a companion, her fellow combat with spears, which are useful in combat and puzzles.
