Play Tomb Raider : Curse of the Sword Online
Lara’s tiny but deadly in this one—dodging traps and sliding past spikes in tight 2D ruins, with that same smug attitude packed into a Game Boy sprite. The chiptune ruins music and brutal later levels make it feel like the big adventures, just squished down.
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword came out in 2001 for the Game Boy Color, developed by Core Design and published by Eidos. It was part of that wave of handheld attempts to bring console adventures into your pocket, with all the compromises and surprises that entailed. The game doesn't try to replicate the 3D exploration of its bigger siblings; instead, it carves its own identity within the limits of the hardware.
You control Lara Croft through side-scrolling environments, navigating ruins one screen at a time. Your goal is to find the pieces of a mystical sword before an evil sorcerer does. You'll use your signature dual pistols and a sword for combat, solve environmental puzzles, and avoid traps like spikes and falling blocks. The pacing is deliberate, and some sections demand careful timing and pattern recognition. It feels like a condensed, focused version of tomb raiding, where every jump and every enemy encounter carries weight.
