Tomb Raider 2D: Underworld [ Mobile - Nokia2600classic ]

The beautiful archaeologist will look for any clue to find her mother
šŸ“– Storyline: After discovering that her mother is not dead, but trapped in an unknown place, her father's studies on the island of Avalon come to her aid, but traces soon appear on her path that have little to do with British legends, and which are based on Nordic mythology.
šŸŽ® Gameplay: The plot is told exclusively through textual dialogues between Lara and her friends but the settings are the same as the PS2 & PS3 version, just as the pitfalls that the protagonist will face in both the 3D and 2D versions are very similar, this the last one was created to meet the needs of those who owned a terminal less accustomed to polygonal graphics.Ā  In its 3D version, the game is heavily constrained which does not allow Lara to perform certain movements: movement within the locations is pre-established, while the 2D version is free to go anywhere.Ā  The 2D mobile version presents itself in a decidedly more pleasant and accessible way, in the form of a classic platformer in which you have to find the exit from the stages mainly by climbing.Ā  Controlling Lara is very simple and intuitive, with a good number of actions that can be performed, interspersed among other things with the same puzzles that distinguish the 3D version for consoles.
šŸ•¹ļø Controls: We will often find chasms to jump (button 5) as well as walls to climb, sometimes in time, to access temples, all based on reflections.Ā  There is no shortage of enemies, represented by unidentified humanoid monsters: Here it will be enough to press the "zero" button which will bring out the guns and with an automatic aiming system will allow us to hit them without too many problems.Ā  The energy bar, located at the top of the screen, is emptied depending on the damage we suffer and can only be restored by collecting the medical kits scattered along the stages.Ā  Much of the time is spent locating the doors to open and collecting the relevant keys.
šŸ˜ Personal conclusions: Having completed the PS2, PS3 and PS3 Trilogy versions at the time, I believe that the 2D version, which was playable on Nokia (Symbian 5Th), things were decidedly better: Lara's sprite was well drawn and had very fluid animations including the locations that they appeared decidedly more refined, with greater attention to detail.

Completely agree, the 2D version worked surprisingly well on Nokia.

Mobile porting worthy old style heir of the 90s classic in HD šŸ“– Storyline: It starts with an old style film (from the PS1) that briefly tells us the story of the protagonist and the beginning of her new mission. šŸŽ® Gameplay: It wasn't a free title, but fans didn't hesitate to spend just under a euro in 2015 to once again take on the role of Lara Croft in the Mobile version.Ā  The classic third-person platformer finally arrived on Android devices and allowed you to take a dive into the past, to the era when games were as imperfect as they were fun.Ā  Playing a title like this today undoubtedly makes us notice a vast amount of defects, but this title for Android broke the gap with the PS1 version with a clean level design almost similar to the current remastered.Ā  Nostalgists will appreciate the chance to adventure, once again, with the famous heroine.Ā  The difficulty of the game consists, just like in the original one, in finding the way and completing the mission.Ā  In this Android version, the complexity also increases due to the difficulty of managing the character, given that to avoid some traps or antagonists we will need to perform some acrobatic moves, typical of the heroine, which will be very difficult to perform.Ā  Lara Croft, in this game, will most likely remind you more of an awkward and clumsy young girl, instead of a capable and combative adventurer.Ā  But all in all it's a pleasure to play it on a smartphone.
