Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris

Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris Review: Feral's Twin-Stick Port, $9.99 After Level One

Bombs, Dual Pistols and a Staff of Osiris, From Above

This is the Lara Croft of the isometric spin-offs, not the reboot trilogy: a top-down twin-stick shooter where Lara, treasure hunter Carter Bell and the Egyptian gods Isis and Horus race Set through cursed tombs, bombing and blasting through arenas, rolling from hordes of undead, leaping chasms, and solving trap-and-timing puzzles built for one player or four. Weapons trade up from the signature dual pistols to shotguns, machine guns and flamethrowers, rings and amulets boost stats, and each tomb keeps high scores, hidden collectables and time trials to return to. Feral Interactive — the London studio behind the mobile GRID Autosport port — adapted the full console game with its configurable button system, full gamepad support, and mouse and keyboard on Android and iPadOS, and the App Store version includes all DLC. A September 14, 2026 Play five-star calls the button configuration amazing and the game worth the asking price all day. Rated Teen and 13+, in eight languages.

Two Weeks In: a Download That Would Not Finish, and Not Much Else Yet

The port launched on September 8, 2026 on both stores and its record is a handful of first impressions. On Google Play, 150 reviews average 4.0 with 5,000-plus installs: the September 14 five-star above; a September 16 five-star that finds the unlock — 299 rupees in India — justified; and the one hard failure, a September 9 two-star with three votes whose brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 8 cannot get past the additional-assets download after every suggested fix, with Feral's reply pointing to Play Services, cache and its support address. The App Store shows 30 ratings at 4.8 and two written reviews, one praising the graphics and one asking for Chinese. Nothing yet describes frame rate, battery, touch aiming without a pad, or how the online co-op holds up on phones — the questions the next month of reviews will answer. Version 1.2.2 on iOS and the September 8 Android build both list only minor fixes.

First Level Free, $9.99 Activation, and an iOS 18 Floor With A12

The model is Feral's usual: download free, play the first level, then a single in-app purchase — Activation at $9.99 on the App Store, with Google Play listing $0.99 to $9.99 by region — unlocks the full game and all extras, with no ads and nothing else for sale. Apple lists no tracking; Google's data-safety card lists Personal info, App activity and two other types collected. The requirements are the port's real price: iOS 18 and an A12 Bionic or later — iPhone XS and newer — with a 3.5 GB download; the listing asks you to read the supported-device list before installing, and Google Play gives no Android floor. Prices are regional.
