Tomb Raider blasts onto mobile. Play as the legendary Lara Croft like you’ve never seen her before! Inspired by the original Tomb Raider games, wield Lara’s iconic twin-pistols and get ready for a globetrotting adventure! Travel through the golden arch-shaped doors of the treacherous underground tombs, across hazardous mountain caves, flourishing jungles and lush waterfalls. On your quest you’ll avoid hidden traps, discover ancient relics, solve a wide variety of puzzles and face off against different enemies and bosses (is that a T-Rex I hear!?) both new and familiar to the Tomb Raider series including bloodthirsty wolves, poisonous snakes, fearsome golems and magical elemental creatures! Gameplay features roguelike and procedurally generated stages for a new and varied experience with every run. As you progress through each level, you’ll be able to stack abilities and perks such as piercing shots, experience boosts, grenade throws and arch shots for more powerful attacks, quicker character leveling and a wider range of damage. Dropping to a knee after an epic run doesn’t signal the end! You’ll be awarded a trove of coins and experience points to upgrade Lara’s outfits and weapons, increasing your base attack and HP stats. Additional Features: • Stylised cartoon visuals that reimagine Tomb Raider in ways you’ve never seen before • An original orchestral soundtrack with reworked classic scores that pay homage to Tomb Raider’s iconic legacy • Trademark Lara Croft actions: see Lara shoot, run, jump and handstand in classic Croft fashion • Stumble upon collectables and unlockables including relics that provide increased damage and healing stats and blueprints that let you craft powerful new weapons, such as shotguns and mystical staffs
Maker Lab

Customers are queuing, three printers are about to finish at once and somebody wants a drone frame. Welcome to Maker Lab. You run a makerspace. Orders arrive, you load filament into 3D printers, feed sheet to the laser cutter, set the CNC mill going and finish parts at the hand benches. Multi-stage builds move between stations. Hand each order over before the customer gives up and walks out. Ten shifts take you from a scruffy garage with one printer and a bare bulb to a bright studio with a full floor of machines. Along the way, machines jam, one catches fire, and the power trips at the worst possible moment. • 15 products and 6 specials to make, from keyrings to drone frames • Ten levels, each unlocking a new machine, product or hazard • A lab that evolves through ten looks as you clear shifts • Design your own maker: figure, skin tone, hair, hat • Badges for the things worth bragging about • Landscape, one-handed friendly, no timers hidden behind a paywall • Original synthesised soundtrack and effects • Works fully offline Clear all ten shifts and something changes on the character screen. We are not telling you what. Maker Lab is free and always will be. There are no adverts and nothing to buy. The one button in Settings that mentions money opens a JustGiving page for Alzheimer's Society in Safari, and every penny given there goes to them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maker Lab at none against Tomb Raider Reloaded's 11. Maker Lab also leads on ads (none vs shown). Tomb Raider Reloaded's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
