Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation ROM Description

In 1999, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation brought Lara Croft to ancient Egyptian ruins on the PlayStation for her fourth adventure. As one of the last major Tomb Raider titles developed by Core Design, The Last Revelation aimed to revitalize the seminal series by expanding Lara’s moves, overhauling the inventory system, and delivering a deeper narrative.

The globetrotting journey takes Lara from the legendary tombs of Egypt to the Great Pyramid on a quest to imprison the god Set. New mechanics like rope swinging, ledge shimmying, and an alternate ammo system open up additional traversal and combat options. Environments are massive and intricate, demanding complex backtracking.

The expanded controls help Lara navigate ancient traps and lethal creatures with added flair. While the tank-like movement remains, her animations appear smoother. The revamped menu streamlines navigation and allows for item combinations to solve puzzles. With a narrative framing Lara’s origins and motivations, the storytelling aims higher but falls a bit short compared to genre contemporaries.

At its core The Last Revelation refines rather than reinvents, but a Fervour for exploration and archaeology still compels. It represents an effort to push the series forward on PlayStation before Angel of Darkness’ controversial overhaul. Want to experience a late-era PS1 Tomb Raider?
