Tomb Raider Reloaded

Tomb Raider Reloaded is an upcoming free to play mobile game developed by Emerald City Games and published by Square Enix London. On December 3rd, 2020, Tomb Raider Reloaded soft-launched through the Google Play Store in the Philippines, South East Asia and Thailand for beta testing. On an update 0.8.0 Sweden and Ireland were added. Canada was added to the country list in update 0.11.0.

Plot
Similar to Tomb Raider (1996) and Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Lara Croft is accosted by mercenary Larson Conway in Calcutta, India, at the request of his boss, Natla. Natla informs Lara that she has found the City of Vilcabamba, the resting place of the legendary Atlantean Scion. Tempted by the thrill of another adventure, Lara travels to Peru.

Gameplay

 * Note: Since the game is in beta, things are subject to changes.

Tomb Raider Reloaded is a top-down action-adventure shooter. The player controls Lara's movement, but she shoots enemies automatically when stationary. The player progresses through the different stages in each chapter. Gaining a character level rewards the player with the choice of 1 of 3 passive skills, the character level restarts each playthrough. In certain stages, Anaya Imanu waits Lara offering the choice of healing skills or a passive skill. Werner Von Croy appears if a boss is killed without getting hit once. Von Croy offers a passive skill in exchange of 20% of the player's health. The player is allowed one revive in a playthrough in exchange for 30 premium currency, the gems, or for free by watching an ad, there are three free revives per day. The game has a gear system, items can be leveled up with manuals and upgraded with three of the same item type. Gear has five rarity types: common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary. The game features in-app purchases for gems, which can be used to open loot boxes for gear or buy in-game currency, the coins. There is a Lucky Wheel mini-game offering a chance for coins or skills, which appears at the start of a chapter, and once a boss is defeated. A variation of the Lucky Wheel is Special Wheel, which appear right after completing Lucky Wheel, but only five times in a day. Special Wheel offers a chance at obtaining gems. In later updates A Lucky Wheel was added after defeating a Chapter final boss, offering only gems and one loot box after update 0.10.0. Chapters use tickets to enter, with the amount of tickets needed increasing as the game progresses. Player can hold a maximum of 20 tickets, regenerating one every five minutes. The 20 ticket limit will be exceeded, when the tickets are obtained from daily logins or daily dash rewards.

Limited time events opened in January 2021. This consists of an arena where player needs to stand on flags to accumulate Zone Points. The event offers several rewards up to 25000 Zone Points collected. Events can be entered with 10 Event Tickets. Event Tickets can be bought with gems: 15 tickets for 75 gems, and 50 tickets for 200 gems. Event Tickets can drop from enemies in the regular game mode on all levels. Daily dash reward also include event tickets during the duration of the event in 5, 10, and 15 amount per challenge.
