At this point it’s clear there’s no shortage of Tomb Raider titles available for Android, and after the recent arrival of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot on mobile, fans of the classic Lara Croft adventures have another reason to be excited. Aspyr Media has released a remastered collection that brings the earliest entries in the series to smartphones and tablets in a single, polished package.
The release, titled Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, packages the original three Tomb Raider games together with their expansions and secret levels. These titles have been updated from their console remasters to work well on touch devices, offering improved visuals and a range of modern conveniences tailored for mobile play. On Google Play, the collection’s description highlights the comprehensive nature of the release:
Play the Original Three Tomb Raider Adventures: For the first time ever, play the complete experience with all expansions and secret levels on mobile in this definitive collection. Now with more bonus content in the FREE Challenge Mode patch.
What makes the mobile release notable is how it blends nostalgia with contemporary features. Beyond visual enhancements, Aspyr has implemented reworked touch controls designed to make platforming, exploration, and combat feel responsive on phones and tablets. To help players capture memorable moments, the package includes a built-in photo mode. The collection also adds a variety of unlockable outfits for Lara, giving players cosmetic rewards as they progress.
One major addition is the newly introduced Challenge Mode, which expands replayability by offering short, focused tasks and objectives that test player skill and creativity. This mode was added as a free patch, widening the package’s appeal without fragmenting the core experience. Alongside Challenge Mode, the remastered collection preserves secret levels and other expansions from the original releases, ensuring that long-time fans can revisit hidden content while newcomers can experience everything in one place.
The game’s monetization is straightforward: the app is free to download from the Play Store, which allows players to try the title and sample its features. To unlock the full game and access all content, an in-app purchase is required. That model gives players the chance to confirm compatibility and performance on their specific device before committing to the complete package.
Performance and compatibility are key on mobile, and Aspyr’s effort focuses on a robust experience across a wide range of hardware. Improved textures, updated lighting, and higher-resolution assets contribute to a cleaner, more polished presentation that retains the spirit of the originals while fitting modern expectations. Controls are configurable to a degree, and the developers have tuned touch input to reduce frustration during platforming sequences and combat encounters.
This remastered collection is a convenient way for fans and new players alike to access three foundational Tomb Raider games in one app. It brings classic level design, puzzle-driven exploration, and early-era action-adventure gameplay to portable devices with contemporary enhancements. If you’ve been wanting to revisit Lara Croft’s earliest adventures or experience them for the first time on a phone or tablet, this release provides a single, updated package that respects the originals while improving accessibility and visual fidelity.
