Square Enix has released Tomb Raider II on iOS today. I bet you weren't expecting that, huh?

Obviously, this is the follow-up to the Bronze Award-winning Tomb Raider I. It was originally released back in 1997 on PC and PlayStation.

This time, Lara is after the Dagger of Xian, which is guarded by a large dragon, and also pursued by warrior monks and obsessed cults.

You'll have to shoot your way across Tibet, Venice, and the bottom of the ocean in order to get to the dagger.

It's a much more worldly adventure than the first game. It also has a lot more humans to shoot, as well as new weapons (grenade launcher, for one), and new vehicles (like the speedboat and snowmobile).

Oh, and as a little bonus, it comes with “The Golden Mask” expansion too.

You can purchase Tomb Raider II for £1.49 / $1.99 on the App Store right now.
