Lara Croft: Relic Run

About

Lara Croft Relic Run is a mobile arcade game that tasks Lara with collecting relics while navigating obstacle-filled environments. Played in short bursts, it uses a simple tap-and-swipe control scheme to guide her through crumbling ruins and ancient temples. Each session earns items that unlock story fragments in a journal, revealing a conspiracy tied to a missing colleague. The single-player campaign unfolds gradually, with new areas opening as you progress. The game leans into Tomb Raider lore without demanding hardcore action skills. Its bite-sized levels and incremental storytelling work well for casual play, though deeper mechanical variety is limited. With a 4.3/5 average on user reviews for mobile versions, it appeals to fans familiar with Lara’s world. Progression hinges on repeated playthroughs, which some find motivating and others repetitive. The 2015 release remains a lightweight entry in the franchise, prioritizing accessibility over complexity.

Storyline

Set shortly after Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, the game follows Lara as she goes in search of fellow archeologist Carter Bell. On her search, she uncovers a world-threatening conspiracy. Relics collected during play sessions unlock journal entries that reveal pieces of the story and make new locations available.
