Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - ‘Try Before You Buy’ update now available on iOS and Android

DATE: Tuesday July 29th, 2025


Feral Interactive has announced that Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for iOS and Android is now available as a ‘Try Before You Buy’ app.


New players may now shoot, grapple and swing their way through the first two levels of Lara’s isometric tomb-raiding adventure, fending off swarms of enemies and navigating the menacing Mexican jungle as many times as they wish for free.


Players unlock the full game via a single in-app purchase, continuing their pursuit of Xolotl, the Aztec god of darkness, as he seeks to plunge the world into eternal night. The complete quest contains a further twelve levels, each bursting with undead hordes to be returned to the underworld by Lara’s signature dual pistols, and laden with cunning puzzles to solve and ancient traps to navigate. An additional twelve bonus levels are also available to play, each offering new challenges to stretch even the most seasoned adventurers.


Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light’s twin-stick shooting is the perfect fit for play on the move, with Feral’s mobile version offering fully customisable touchscreen controls and gamepad support. In today’s ‘Try Before You Buy’ release, players can also sample the full game’s online co-op feature by teaming up with a friend across the two free levels. Should players decide to purchase the complete game, their scores and progress will be carried across, with revisits to all fourteen story levels encouraged in order to seek out hidden collectibles, beat high scores and unlock extra weapons and artifacts to boost Lara’s abilities.  


Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is now free-to-try for iOS via the App Store, and for Android via the Google Play Store. The full game unlock is available via in-app purchase for $9.99 / €8,99 / £7.49 (prices may vary locally).
