About Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - Curse of the Sword

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - Curse of the Sword is an action-adventure game where the protagonist, Lara, is under a magical affliction and must pursue thieves to find a remedy. Her journey spans five distinct locations, beginning in a Manhattan museum and progressing through Soho rooftops, the New York subway, the Brooklyn Docks, and finally a hideout in Bermuda.

Gameplay involves navigating these environments with series-staple actions like climbing ropes and jumping across ledges. This installment also introduces specific elements not always present in other titles, including confrontations with major enemies, handling explosives, and operating a submarine.
