Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a Genuine Tombraider game, it has the best graphics, great gameplay, and controls, it reminded us of Tombraider 1, 2, 3 But for the PlayStation 1 Tombraiders. Which we have in our Ps1 emulator for free, and for us its one of the Best games Franchise , like The Castlevania series games. You should do a Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and Tombraider mix game, we know it would come out Great, . One Player could choose Alucard, and the other player Lara Croft, and have them in co op together passing levels, and Big Bosses, . Just a suggestion. Other than that this game is GREAT.
Ive been playing this game since the release of it, almost 10 years now. We practically have everything unlocked and all skins purchased and upgraded by being a free to play player and watching ads for more in-game resources. With this latest update, the Christmas skin has been removed from our inventory. This is now the 2nd time this has happened. We lost our when skin when we switch our iPhone 6 to a 7+ and all our progress sadly, then you guys brought it back last year for free and reclaimed it after so many years, now its gone cause of this update.
We can play this game 2 or 3 times and not get bored of it.
This is a hidden gem! By far the best endless runner type game we have played. We really like the inclusion of levels and a story, it elevates this. Also, theres so much content in it for some reason! Honestly, this is the fame Temple Run 2 wants to be.
Thank you for finally fixing the app. The last update bricked the game. Its always been one of our favorite games. This update, however, added ads in, which we didnt have before. We purchased the No Ads Forever option, but it didnt work. After paying for No Ads, Im now getting double ads. Please remedy this.
Thank you, this update has resolved the game being unplayable after 1.18 broken the game. The new color variation of an existing outfit was a surprise but was removing the Christmas outfit intentional.
We downloaded this app a few years ago and it glitched. Im glad its up and functioning. However we took off one star due to the protection aura only functioning in the last episode and only with the ice giants. In addition the minigun doesnt work at all. We see that the creators added new features without fixing these features. We hope they extend the gameplay to include other adventurers in the future.
Having to purchase the no ads option for five dollars is the only way you can play this game for more than five seconds. Even then, even with some experience, you cannot play this for more than 30 seconds without dying and either needing to spend a fortune on health regeneration or watch yet another ad every time you die.
We love this game. It gives us our adventure fix whenever we need it. We love that its so different from Temple Run. There are things to shoot, vehicle sections, and cool bosses. We would love a puzzle element just to round things out, and a more fleshed out storyline. Thank you for buying out this game and fixing the no-load-past-Thailand glitch! We just finished the full playthrough and we still love this game! Now we want the next level We did jungle, desert, and mountains. Maybe islands next.
Game needs to be updated for the newest or current version.
A little jank but its genuinely so fun.
We wasnt expecting much from a temple run clone, but its honestly crazy how much content there is. There are boss fights, shooting sections, ATV rides, multiple locations, cool slow mo parkours. And if you put your phone in airplane mode, no ads. Way better than temple run in our opinion.
Years of enjoyment cant wait for more.
Lara is back with new outfit and levels work! Wish the outfits and weapons and progress was saved cross platform iPad iPhone and Android. Love the game just wish it worked fully again.
This game we always come back to. Its full of action and twists and turns. It took us a while to beat one of the bosses which is a T-Rex, its challenging and fun. You will get hooked.
Such a great game! Reminds us of the original Lara Croft games. Definitely might be the best mobile game we ever downloaded! 10/10.
As recently as early 2025 we had been having fun and even spending actual money in this game but ever since the last update we cant play! It stays completely on the loading screen and it doesnt let us play anymore. We tried to wait it out but after months of hoping it would get another update we have this sinking feeling that Ill never be able to get back into the game to play again. Its a fun game too which makes this such a shame :(.
Its crazy to us how this game features amazing slow motion animation and many ways to run through a map and has the worst shooting feature ever! The Lizard-Men are basically immortal and we cant even see what Im shooting at half the time, ads are like minute long and overall ruins the experience of the game and Im barley Level 30.
We loved this game. Got to level 100. Went to pull game up and its stuck to the opening map. Tried everything, contacted support and said ticket closed. They want to fix it, but time, resources ect. No eta on fix. So, download if you want to live something then not work.
This game USED to be quite enjoyable when you could actually play, but over the years, theyve changed the game so much that you spend more time watching ads than actually playing. If you want anything at all, you want to be resurrected, you want a piece of gear, etc. You have to watch multiple LONG (almost 2 min. Each). Ads. This has taken the pure joy right out of this game. For every minute you play, youre watching 4 min. Of ads. To add, the diamond requirement is outta control. Over 500 diamonds for ONE upgrade and there are over a dozen of these, so you cant play too long without actually buying very expensive things, to include diamonds. At the very least, make this game enjoyable again by removing the deluge of ads.
We love it very muchits really great.
The game is not loading all the equipment we need to even play the game Im stuck on level 5 Ive played the game all the way to the desert before really wish you guys fix this bug or problem in the game its really one of the best run games of all time.
This game is really fun! We recommend this game for anyone who loves 3 lane runner games! Ive been playing it for years, and its always been amazing.
The game its awesome!! We remember to play almost 10 years ago and its magical playing again. It has some delays but for an old game, 10/10.
Dear, Lara Team, Were Trending This Week Is Having All Aboard Days. Love, Miss Money.
Lara Croft is running in place constantly!! Please fix.
It was fine with option adds that you never had to see, but now you HAVE to see advertisements lame.
We've been playing this game since we were very young and even after years we're always surprised by the graphics, it's a magnificent game.
Welcome back!!! Its about time! Thank you for fixing an issue, background, and glitch.
We are currently In love with the Lara Croft games.
Im so happy about the background music being fixed now its more exciting while playing and. Can finally play it we enjoy this game very much.
We really love this game! Years ago our mom put us on to the game and ive been addicted since! We just ask and hope one day thats there more terrains and levels. Like under the sea or an overgrown spring setting. Just some suggestions.
This is not the game that it used to be. The level generation has been changed to be less fair, enemy numbers have been increased, powerup upgrade costs have been increased – you used to be able to pay for almost all upgrade tiers with coins, but it's been changed to require gems after the 5th upgrade tier. The intention is clear: to force players to feel like they need to spend money to continue without a ridiculous grind. This game was better when it struck a better balance between playable and manipulative.
Now we can play past level 40 and play in the desert world!!! Im not sure for those who had made it to the snow world, but Im so happy to be able to play more of this game and hopefully finish it.
Once you reach level 41 the start of the Sahara run it kicks you back to the map after trying to load. Edit: As of version 1.13 this issue has been fixed and the Sahara level can now be played. Great work! Five Stars.
It took some time, but Im just so happy it was able to be done. Now for our fingers crossed for either a sequel or another world – we missed playing this so much.
The game is great and all we played it years ago and we recently reinstalled it but theres an issue with the background music when Lara starts running the music stops, please fix it, its boring to play without the background music, it takes away the excitement from the whole experience and its not enjoyable without it, thankyou.
Awesome game now that it is fixed.
Completed the first stagebut when we get to the Sahara its not letting us play we think yall should fix thator something at least. Other than that the game is fun its self.
Its a really interactive game, we love the jungle concept and the quests. The graphics could be updated now ~ and the bugss!! The game will glitch sometimes and just freeze. Only thing Id love to see improved. Overall, good game.
Love the game but after done with Thailand the dessert levels dont work. We wish theyd fix that.
We love this game a lot but for some reason there is a glitch that stops you at the dessert biome and you cant go past now we know that some people will say the game started with this glitch but we were able to get to level 79 before it stopped and wont let you play devs please fix as we love this game a lot.
Please update the up!! Fix the bug. We need to get to level 41 lol. Ive worked too hard on this game not to keep going. The jungle is fun and all but we seriously need her in the Sahara. What do we need to do to get this done.
We saw an update on the game and thought you guys actually fixed the bug stopping us from playing on the desert ruins map. NOTHING has CHANGED.
Holaa us parece raro acabo de pasar al nivel 41 y no quiere avanzar el juego.
Out of all the games we have played like this we think this is our favorite. Its not bad.
Level 41 doesn't load up . Please fix this! Such a nostalgic game but wont allow us to level up . Multiple people experiencing this issue please check reddit for others.
For the most part, we enjoyed the game the way it was. Over time it became laggy and buggy so yes, it was due for an update. Seeing it had been updated was exciting. However, this new gem merit system thats been re-added was taken away years ago for a reason. On top of that, the option to watch an ad to keep from using an ankh has been removed. If there was a way to revert back to the previous version, we definitely would. Very disappointed. Also, one of the gem merits we were doing started out allowing to not have adblocker installed, then midway through, was trying to force us to remove adblocker to keep proceeding with the survey. If we still have to watch ads, then restore the game back to the way it was. All this has made us not want to play the game anymore.
Great game but the desert levels do not work for iOS 17.
