For those who were complaining that the Lara Craft Go mobile game, released last June for Android devices, was too short and didn’t present that much of a challenge, well developers Square Enix Montreal definitely listened. A new action-packed expansion update has been released and it’s called Shard of Life, and it might take off a shard of your life as you try to solve the additional challenges in this turn-based puzzle game. As they say, be careful what you wish for.
But if you like challenging puzzles, then this expansion is definitely a wish come true for you. On the surface, Shard of Life brings an additional chapter to the already existing five ones from the initial release. That also means 26 new puzzles for you to solve, a new set of gems to discover (obsidian), two new artifacts to collect, and even two new unlock able costumers (since our favorite Tomb Raider does love her costume changes). You can also now take snapshots while playing, in case you feel like memorializing some parts of the game (or maybe reviewing them later on?).
But what makes this expansion pack so much more challenging is the introduction of your enemy, the immortal creatures. They can be stunned, but they will rise again after a while, and so you would have to come up with a different approach to solving the puzzles, maybe from another vantage point where the enemy can’t see you coming.
To celebrate the arrival of Shard of Life, the Lara Craft Go game will now be just at $2.99, from its previous $4.99 price, for new users. For those who already bought the game previously, the expansion pack will be available for free. Just update your app to the latest version.
Who is “Lara Craft”??? 😛
