Story

Lara is exploring a remote part of the jungles of southern India in search of a huge temple, known as the Tower of Sumpta. Sumpta, according to legend, was a warrior god worshipped by an ancient tribe who built the temple in his honour. It is said that somewhere in the underground chambers of the temple lies a mystical sword which belonged to Sumpta. Lara must find her way into the temple and find the sword.

Tower of Sumpta/Beneath the Tower

This was one of the very first custom Tomb Raider levels I ever played after discovering the world of the TR Editor. I can't really describe what it was like when I realised Tomb Raider wasn't dead after all and it was with immense excitement I set off into this adventure in search of that Tomb Raider experience. And I wasn't disappointed.

This is classic jungle/temple Raiding with many memorable moments. Some great platforming here, which, after all, is what Tomb Raider was built around and I loved the transitions between jungle and temples. Exploration, atmosphere, puzzles and challenges have been blended together to produce a memorable game. And it is solidly crafted, which is a welcome trademark of Isis. One tip though, when you find the sword simply slide down the huge flower stalk and jump into the final area, otherwise you could get rather lost right at the end.
