Secrets in Tomb Raider Chronicles are represented by a golden rose (much like the dragons in Tomb Raider II). Lara also uses a crowbar and a torch to progress through the virtual world. The ability to save wherever one desires returns from The Last Revelation as does the combining system of puzzle items used to progress in the level. Only one vehicle (of sorts) appears: a high-tech diving suit designed to penetrate deep waters.
It is used to latch on certain areas of the ceiling and swing across vaults. New equipment consists of a TMX-Timex that Lara uses to track her statistics and grappling gun, which fires a grappling hook into perishable surfaces and produces a rope from which Lara can swing. The crossbow and grenade launcher from Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation have not returned, but the MP5 submachine gun and Desert Eagle from Tomb Raider III are revived. Lara sports a new camouflage snow-suit and a black catsuit suitable for infiltration.
Lara now can walk on a tightrope, grab and swing on horizontal bars, and somersault forwards from a ledge while crouching.
The gameplay of Tomb Raider Chronicles is closely tied to that of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. Chronicles received mixed reviews from critics, being cited as running out of ideas for the series on the original PlayStation engine, and is remembered as one of the weakest Tomb Raider games, and at 1.5 million copies is one of the worst-selling games in the series. Some levels incorporate additional gameplay elements such as stealth.ĭespite the presumed death of Lara Croft in The Last Revelation, Core Design was told by Eidos to continue the series while a new team worked on The Angel of Darkness for the PlayStation 2, a veteran team developed Chronicles based on concepts cut from The Last Revelation. Gameplay follows Lara through linear levels, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. Following Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, series protagonist Lara Croft is presumed dead, and a group of friends attend a memorial service at her home to recount tales of her earlier exploits. Tomb Raider Chronicles is an action-adventure video game developed by Core Design and published in 2000 by Eidos Interactive for PlayStation, Microsoft Windows and Dreamcast.
