Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword

The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with stage-based progression. Lara moves through traps, ledges, ladders, and narrow passages while jumping, climbing, and grabbing onto platforms. Combat is handled with handheld-friendly controls, and progression often depends on finding switches, keys, or route-specific items. Exploration and careful movement are more important than fast action, especially in later stages with denser hazards.

Lara Croft

The series protagonist, an archaeologist and adventurer pursuing the cursed sword and the people trying to seize it.

Learn jump spacing and landing timing early, since many deaths come from small missteps near edges. Search alternate paths thoroughly, as hidden items and progress-critical objects are often tucked away off the main route. In combat, keep moving and avoid lingering in tight spaces where enemies can corner you.

Tips and tricks

• Check for traps before committing to a jump or drop.
• Use the environment to separate yourself from enemies whenever possible.
