LARA CROFT AND THE GUARDIAN OF LIGHT

Two-thousand years ago in ancient Central America, a battle began between Totec, the Guardian of the Light, and Xolotl, the keeper of darkness. Totec’s army was defeated when Xolotl used the mirror of smoke to unleash hordes of ghastly creatures. Totec survived said battle, and found a way to defeat Xolotl, imprisoning him in the mirror of smoke and watching over the mirror as an immortal stone statue. In present day, Lara Croft reads of the legend and attempts to find the mirror. After a long and dangerous hike she is successful. She stops to observe the mirror, only to find the a band of mercenaries; led by the local warlord, followed her into the temple and took the mirror from her. Unknowing, or unbelieving of the curse opun the mirror, the leader of the mercenaries handles the mirror and recklessly releases Xolotl. The stone statue of Totec comes to life and warns Lara that Xolotl must be stopped before the light of dawn. Depending on whether you are in single player or not, Lara and Totec will either join forces or go separate ways to try and stop Xolotl.
