About
Tomb Raider is a 3D action game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive. It follows Lara Croft, a British archaeologist searching for ancient treasures.
Your goal is to guide Lara through tombs and other locations to uncover treasures and artifacts. Along the way, she must defeat dangerous animals and other creatures, collect key items, and solve puzzles to reach an ultimate prize—usually a powerful artifact.
Critically acclaimed and widely influential, Tomb Raider spawned multiple sequels and grew into a broader media franchise.
Storyline
Lara Croft is a Tomb Raider—an archaeologist who explores ancient ruins in search of valuable artifacts. Hired to recover an artifact from a tomb in Peru, she discovers it is one of three pieces of the Atlantean Scion. After her employer betrays her, Lara travels to Greece, Rome, and Egypt to secure the remaining parts before the powerful device falls into the wrong hands.
