Franchise Feature: The Moves
“It’s just like going up a set of stairs, only far less boring…” – Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: Legend
With Croft Manor’s extensive facilities at her disposal, it’s no wonder that Lara has honed her gymnastic skills to Olympian levels. From conception, Lara Croft was created with athleticism in mind, outfitted in a leotard, long braid, and utilitarian boots. Over time Lara’s skills waxed and waned, changing as new mechanics diversified her abilities, and, conversely, when the reboot traded showmanship for scrappy combat & grounded traversal.
In the early Core Design games, walking, running, jumping, and shimmying were all staples of traversal, while Lara’s flips, handstands, and swan dives added stylistic flourish. Lara’s impressive athletic abilities were then taken to the next level in the Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld trilogy. The player could string together multiple moves in flashy combos. Much of the believability in Lara’s Underworld performance came from the use of motion capture, in which Olympic gymnast Heidi Moneymaker stepped into Lara’s boots.
The Tomb Raider reboot in 2013 saw Lara’s moves streamlined to compliment the more grounded storyline. While still very physically capable, she was designed to feel more like an underdog, making her successes that much more impressive.
Check out some of Lara’s most iconic moves below.

· Swan Dive: The Swan Dive is all style, which is part of the charm. Performing the move on dry land from standstill was also great for avoiding traps – in particular darts. In Tomb Raider II, Lara could somersault mid-dive if performed from a high enough platform.
· Handstand: Another move that was more style than substance, The Handstand actually took several seconds to perform, showcasing the strength and control Lara had harnessed.

· Flip: A small but meaningful addition, this flip allowed Lara to change her orientation mid-jump. In particular this was useful for traversal, where she could jump from a climbable surface, twist, and catch a ledge behind her.
· Underwater Roll: Another ability worth mentioning was the addition of the underwater roll, allowing Lara to quickly change direction; especially helpful in long dives that had Lara short on breath.

· Camouflage: To become one with the Jungle, Lara improved her camouflage techniques by covering herself from head to toe in mud, which would lower the chances of enemies spotting her as she moved throughout open spaces. She could also strafe along vine walls to stealthy attack from the shadows.
· Rappelling: Adding even more verticality to traversal, Lara’s climbing axes evolved to allow her to repel up or down cliff faces.
· Underwater Swimming: Shadow of the Tomb Raider greatly improved Lara’s underwater traversal, allowing Lara to descend and ascend, interact with her surroundings, fend off wildlife, and find pockets of air to prolong her swim time. Underwater puzzles returned as well.
