Lara Croft: Tomb of the Sun Review

It’s been a few years since the last Lara Croft installment from Triple Edge Studios, and Lara Croft: Tomb of the Sun comes with improved visuals that seem more inspired by the movies than the video games. You get to see the bold action heroine in different dramatic situations on the grid, as she figures on all the premium symbols. A tomb reveals itself behind the grid as the Rolling Reels mechanic kicks in, and this is also how you progress along the Multiplier Trail.

The Multiplier Trail comes with enhanced values in the bonus round, and up to x15 boosts are possible if you land enough consecutive wins in the same round. The jungle setting is nicely crafted, and the Rising Reward Jackpot feature will trigger at random times as wilds are collected to increase the prizes. They can go up to 3,500x at best, and the overall max win is 4,000x your stake. Lara Croft: Tomb of the Sun is well worth a closer look, and it comes with plenty of action in all stages of the game.

The premium symbols pay between 3.5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and all 4 of them depict Lara in action in different ways. Power Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and they come in 3 different versions. You get triple wilds that turn into double wilds when part of a win, while double wilds turn into single wilds, and single wilds are removed on the next cascade.

The Rolling Reels mechanic removes all winning symbols, and one wild instance as mentioned, and the gaps are replaced by new and/or existing symbols dropping down. This process repeats for as long as you keep winning.

The Multiplier Trail feature goes hand in hand with the Rolling Reels mechanic, and you can see it on display above the grid. The base game multiplier trail starts at x1, and each rolling reels win increases the multiplier as follows: x2, x3, and finally x5. The multiplier trail is enhanced in the bonus round, and it comes with win multipliers of x3, x6, x9, and finally x15.

The Rising Reward Jackpot feature can trigger at random times when Wild symbols appear, as these are collected each time. Each collected wild increases up to 3 jackpots by up to 1x your stake each time, and you’re guaranteed 1 of the 5 jackpots when the feature triggers. All 5 jackpots come with minimum and maximum values, and the jackpot you win is reset to its minimum value. Here is an overview:

• The Grand Jackpot resets to 2,000x, and it can go as high as 3,500x your stake.
• The Mega Jackpot resets to 500x, and it can go as high as 1,500x your stake.
• The Major Jackpot resets to 100x, and it can go as high as 750x your stake.
• The Minor Jackpot resets to 15x, and it can go as high as 100x your stake.
• The Mini Jackpot resets to 10x, and it can go as high as 75x your stake.

Finally, the Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols in view in the same rolling reels sequence, and the scatters pay 2, 5, or 10 x your stake, respectively. You then get 8, 10, or 15 free spins, respectively, and the multiplier trail is enhanced as described above. You can retrigger the bonus round.

Review Summary

Lara Croft: Tomb of the Sun follows closely in the footsteps of predecessor installments such as Lara Croft: Temples & Tombs, but the visual experience caters more to fans of the movie franchise than the video game franchise this time. You get a more photorealistic presentation overall, and the level of detail is exquisite. The game still revolves around the rolling reels multiplier trail mechanic, which can lead to solid payouts in all stages of the game.

You also get the randomly triggered Rising Reward Jackpot feature, which rewards loyal players with jackpots that grow up to 3,500x your stake. You can win up to 4,000x your stake though, which is decent, and your chances increase in the bonus round as the multiplier trail is enhanced and tops out at x15. Overall, Lara Croft: Tomb of the Sun is another well-balanced installment in the series, and we’re sure both fans and newcomers will appreciate it.
