Its large installation, demanding device list, heat on some older phones, and dated quick-time events are the main reasons to check compatibility before buying.

[See how source-reviewed scores work.](/how-we-rank/) The essentials ## What is Tomb Raider? Tomb Raider is Feral Interactive's Android and iOS adaptation of Crystal Dynamics' 2013 action-adventure. It follows a young Lara Croft across the island of Yamatai through cinematic exploration, climbing, environmental puzzles, stealth, shooting, weapon upgrades, optional tombs, and a complete single-player campaign with the major downloadable extras included. ### Why it stands out * Complete cinematic campaign with substantial exploration and combat * Highly customizable touch controls with left- and right-handed layouts * Excellent gamepad support plus keyboard and mouse compatibility * Several graphics presets help balance visuals, speed, and battery use * One-time purchase without ads, gacha, subscriptions, or consumable purchases * Accessibility options reduce quick-time-event button pressure ### What to consider * Large download and unusually high temporary installation-space requirement * Supported-device restrictions require careful checking before purchase * Older phones can heat up and experience performance drops * Touch aiming and movement remain less precise than a physical controller * Quick-time events and some storytelling feel dated * The original competitive multiplayer mode is not included Is it for you? ## Should you download it? Best for Players with a supported recent device who want a substantial premium action-adventure, appreciate console-style campaigns, and value flexible touch and controller options. Think twice if Your phone has limited storage, is absent from Feral's compatibility guidance, becomes uncomfortable during demanding games, or you want a free game designed around very short sessions. Score details ## Why Tomb Raider scored 8.8 We score both the game itself and how well this version works on a phone or tablet. ### Fun The full campaign still delivers a strong mix of exploration, climbing, combat, upgrades, and optional tombs, though the frequent quick-time events and some story beats show their age. **8.8** ### Phone experience Multiple reviewers found the resizable, repositionable touch layout unusually effective, and controller support is excellent; precise aiming and movement still feel better with physical sticks. **8.7** ### Value The $19.99 one-time purchase includes a substantial roughly 10-to-15-hour campaign and major single-player extras, but the price and storage commitment are high by mobile standards. **8.8** ### Performance Independent tests report smooth results on supported recent phones, including stable Performance-mode play on flagship hardware, while older devices can heat up, lose options, or show frame-rate dips. **8.5** ### Ads & purchases A straightforward premium purchase provides the complete mobile game without ads, gacha, currencies, subscriptions, or consumable in-app purchases. **9.5** [ Learn how our scores work ](/how-we-rank/) On mobile ## Features that matter * 01 Play the complete single-player origin story of Lara Croft * 02 Explore Yamatai through climbing, platforming, combat, stealth, and environmental puzzles * 03 Resize, reposition, fade, or switch the handedness of touchscreen controls * 04 Use supported gamepads, keyboard and mouse, gyro aiming, or assisted aiming * 05 Choose Performance, Graphics, or Battery Saver presets according to the device * 06 Unlock weapon, equipment, and skill upgrades throughout the campaign Quick answers ## Common questions about Tomb Raider on mobile Straight answers about price, content, offline play, controls, and compatibility. How much does Tomb Raider cost on Android and iOS? _+_ The full mobile game was listed at $19.99 USD on both reference storefronts when checked. It is a one-time purchase without ads or consumable in-app purchases. Your local price may differ. How much storage does Tomb Raider need on mobile? _+_ The reference App Store download was about 3.7 GB, but Feral says installation needs approximately 11 GB of free space on iOS and 12.5 GB on Android. It recommends keeping even more space available during installation or updates. Does Tomb Raider support controllers on mobile? _+_ Yes. The Android and iOS versions support compatible gamepads, and independent testing reported successful use with devices including the Backbone One, GameSir G8+, and an Xbox Wireless Controller. Keyboard and mouse support is also advertised. Are the Tomb Raider touch controls good? _+_ Multiple independent reviewers found them responsive and unusually customizable. You can change handedness, button placement, size, and opacity, and use aim assistance. A controller remains more precise for players who dislike virtual sticks. Does Tomb Raider run well on older phones? _+_ Results depend heavily on the device. An iPhone 13 review reported only minimal drops, while comparative testing found more heat and performance reductions on some older iPhones. Confirm Feral's supported-device guidance before buying. Is the Games Ranker Tomb Raider score based on first-hand testing? _+_ This score is a source-reviewed editorial assessment rather than a Games Ranker hands-on test. It combines verified store facts with clearly attributed first-hand observations from TechRadar, Pocket Tactics, Cubed3, and performance reporting collected by Notebookcheck.
