Take a peek at the making of Lara Croft GO

Square continues to bring big-screen games to mobile and tablets, with Lara Croft GO following in the bloody footprints of Hitman.

Here's a new video showing off the game in development at the company's Montreal studio. The game offers 75 levels of classic Tomb Raider fun, with a turn-based puzzling twist for around $5.

While its not quite the latest PS4 version on the go, fans of the originals should feel rather at home.

Lara Croft Go brings Tomb Raider to the iPad

Tomb Raider is one of the classic gaming series. Now, iPhone and iPad users will finally get a chance to join in Lara Croft's adventures in a new episode for mobile devices. Lara Croft Go gives a twist to the usual Tomb Raider action adventure, with turn-based puzzle gameplay. As Lara, you take on a new adventure set in a long-forgotten world.

You get to explore the ruins of an ancient civilization, discover its hidden secrets and face many deadly challenges while uncovering the myth of the Queen of Venom. It features challenging gameplay, gorgeous visuals and a mesmerizing soundtrack, all at your fingertips, the game is out on 27 August for $4.99.

The company's previous mobile game Hitman Go, was a big hit earlier in the year.

Square's Final Fantasy Mevius goes high on visual splendour

Final Fantasy Mevius is an all-new adventure in the legendary RPG realm, but without the aged pixels and more of a modern, battle-heavy look to it. Hopefully its a proper adventure and not some free to play grinding exercise, but I doubt it knowing Square Enix.

No news of a western release, but Square has trademarked the Mevius term in Europe, and these things usually head our way, eventually. While its a phone-focused game should still look great on the iPad.

Square Enix brings junior RPG Wizardlings to iOS

Okay, its not really core-gaming square territory, but this could still give younger iOS role players (that'll be your kids then) something to enjoy as they learn the ways of the rogue or bard. Wizardlings is a casual "tap adventure" set in a fun, fantasy world, is now available for free download for iPhone and iPad.

Translating the below press blurb, players tap squares to banish the darkness, collect goodies and fight demons, I'm not sure if tapping on every square in a level is supposed to be fun (even for a child) but the RPG-lite features and mildly varied combat should win fans.

PR blurb:

As a young wizard or witch, Wizardlings players embark on a quest to banish the darkness and revive a cursed fantasy world. Along the way, players collect interesting and unique treasures, find ingredients to brew powerful spells, and battle menacing creatures to purify the world of evil.

 Wizardlings challenges players to explore unique landscapes by using magic wands to fight back the shadows that cover the world and reveal the vibrant land hidden beneath. With each new tile uncovered, the player reveals flowers, trees, buildings, and hundreds of other objects and treasures - some of which are used as ingredients to create mighty spells.

Beware - lurking in the shadows are dangerous monsters guarding various tiles that players must defeat in order to bring the Light back to all corners of the world. Brew powerful spells from the magical Spellbook to vanquish these monsters and reclaim the oppressed land. Wizardlings features include:

 Exploration and Discovery: By tapping the various tiles, players reveal the world around them as they play. Hidden in the darkness are treasure items, ingredients for spells, quest items, and vibrantly colored landscape items.

Highly Stylized Art and Animation: In the gorgeous fantasy setting of Skywind, Wizardlings features beautiful and playful art and animations that will look stunning on mobile devices.

Fun, Magical Combat: Players use a spellbook to brew and cast magic from five schools of elemental powers: Fire, Water, Charge, Air and Holy. Players brew new spells from ingredients discovered within the world and select spells from each school of magic that best defeats the monsters they encounter.

Collectibles: Treasures, ingredients, and quest items are hidden throughout the land waiting to be discovered. With hundreds of unique treasures and items to find and collect, even the most tenacious treasure hunters will be challenged to discover them all!
