We start off in our grave and rise from it with the protagonist’s famous introductory line having been included here, alongside the rest of the original’s audio & sound effects. Getting ourselves out of that ditch and we are greeted with quite an impressive view of the now fully 3D environments and objects. The first […]

Much like the older entries this one is also turn-based & challenging to boot. Mixing things up is the addition of a row for your summons, up to 3 of them, which a few classes take advantage of. For example, the Necromancer can raise wraiths & use them as fuel for their abilities or the

There are only four different common foes you will face for the duration of the title, and none are particularly enjoyable to fight. You have a brain dead green ninja who can only walk back and forth like some kind of Goomba, an orange ninja that throws kunai, a monk who throws his hat when

Our two choices upon starting up the game is a Campaign and an endless Arena mode. The arena is a pretty useful form of getting the gist of how the game works as this is not a mindless combat system where you will simply be mashing the attack button. The Campaign, on the other hand,

You can run where you please around the circular arena and possess three forms of attacks. One is a basic swipe, then you have an attack where you lunge forwards for extra impact, and finally there is one in where you dash back while swiping the ball to quickly put distance between you two.

The first is one I personally don’t have an issue with and that is backtracking. They use most maps for all they are worth, and you’ll be returning to them

For quite a large part of the expansion, things play out as they’ve always had as you run around at breakneck speeds and introduce your Super Shotgun to anything that gets in your way. The main differences here will be both the enemy placement and the amount to be found in a level. It fully

The opening cutscene has young Lara & crew on an research expedition ship, in search of an old Japanese kingdom of Yamatai, which quickly turns to hell & sets the tone for the rest of the game. About 10 minutes in you will already be fighting to survive, hanging upside-down swinging your analogue stick as

It breaks away from the series awesome tradition of having a hub-world to choose your difficulty and is now merely selected from a menu. Episodes have been done away with as well, and the entire game plays in one long, uninterrupted stretch from beginning to end. It is much like Doom 2 in that respect,
