Official Story

Game Story

On her search for fellow treasure hunter Carter Bell Lara travels to a Jungle Temple lost in Cambodia where he was doing research. As she retraces his steps, she finds clues to relics hidden in the old ruins, the objects of his research which he left behind. After finding 15 of these relics, she suddenly realizes he has not been captured at all but is following evidence of strange mythical influences to some Desert Ruins of Babylonian making, which are hidden in the Sahara desert. From here she follows the Carter's trail to the Himalayas, where she meets Yetis, Giant Spiders

Locations

Characters

Levels

Note: Additional levels can be added to the game through updates. The following list is therefore not to be considered complete.

There are in all 120 Levels in three regions at the moment (March 2016).

40 levels
The first few are tutorial levels to get to know the controls
40 levels
Before v 1.5.68 the player had to find 15 relics in Jungle Temple in order to unlock this region
Since v 1.5.68 the player has to finish at least 20 levels in Jungle Temple to unlock this region; in-game money can be used to unlock it earlier
40 levels
The Mountain Pass levels have been released on 14 October 2015 (game version 1.5.68)
At least 20 Levels in the Desert Ruins region have to be finished successfully to unlock the Mountain Pass

Features & Gameplay

Lara will automatically run through the levels with breathtaking speed and the player has to perform swiping motions on the touch screen of the Smartphone to avoid hitting into obstacles or falling down crevices. Additionally there are sequences called Combat Sessions where Lara has to shoot at Enemies and can collect Health, Coin, and Ammo Crates. After running for a longer period of time without dying she has to face a Boss like the T-Rex. There also are sequences on vehicles like the ATV or Bike.

All the time Lara has to search for Clues. After collecting an increasing amount of those clues she will be able to locate Relics. These will ultimately lead to the whereabouts of Carter Bell.

The game also features some kind of Social Gaming: After connecting the game to Facebook friends can compare their scores and send each other Curses.

Note: With the release of v 1.5.68 (simultaneous to the release of the Mountain Pass level) the gameplay has slightly changed. The Endless Mode has to be unlocked first by playing the first 20 of the 40 levels available in each location. Additionally Lara now has to master 40 levels in each location. Every odd level is a challenge, where Lara e.g. has to find a certain amount of coins or run a certain distance to earn stars. After earning at least one star she is allowed to advance to the next level. In every even level a relic can be found. As before, she has to collect clues to find these and finally find and collect the relic. After finding the relic, the next level is unlocked.

Features as Listed on the Stores

Key features:
  • Make your way through multiple ancient locations - each filled with secrets and danger
  • Power up Lara’s weapons and engage in frantic combat
  • Use parkour moves to create death-defying last minute escapes
  • Fast-paced vehicles like ATVs and motorcycles give Lara more ways to conquer the terrain
  • Epic Boss Fights – including the return of the infamous T-Rex!
  • Swap and upgrade equipment to give Lara the edge
  • Earn bragging rights on the leaderboards
  • Outsmart and sabotage your friends by Cursing their Relic Run
Each location features unique gameplay elements and brand new challenges![2]

Gear

When on the start screen, you can call up your gear settings by clicking on the store icon, which contains a representation of Lara's backpack among other things.[3] The gear can also be accessed on the start screen of every level by clicking in Lara's backpack.

You can buy or upgrade gear items by spending in-game or actual money. If you go to the store, you can check the status of your gear. Before the 1.5.68 update, red bars indicated what you own, blue bars indicate what you would get if you bought the item or its first upgrade, and colourless bars indicate what you can upgrade at a later time. This system has been replaced with a progress bar divided into 10 parts.

Achievements

Main article: Lara Croft: Relic Run Achievements

The game features a variety of Achievements. These are split into global Achievements, which can be gained in any level, and level specific Achievements, that can only be gained in a specific level.

System Requirements

  • Android:
Samsung Galaxy S4 or similar/better[4]
Android Version 2.3 or higher
87 MB storage space (for the game engine and the Jungle Temple level, downloading additional levels requires more space)
In-app purchases[5]
  • iOs:
iPhone 4 or newer[6]
138 MB storage space[7]
  • Windows 8 Phone
Windows Phone 8, 8.1, or 10[8]
67 MB storage space

Tips

  • If your device seems to be too slow/old and you get a lot of lagging (like Samsung Galaxy S3) turn off the "Record With Everyplay" option in the games settings. This seems to help with certain crashes/freezes, too. The record functionality had been removed in a previous version of the game and re-introduced in 1.0.39.
  • Also, turning off background processes (email, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.), or turning off all network connections altogether (flight mode) might help. Be aware that without a network connection certain features of the game like the Facebook integration and watching advertisement videos (Supply Drops) will not work.
  • If your phone starts overheating you should definitely pause the game until it has cooled down. Removing protective coves might help.
