Tomb Raider: The Prophecy is a 2002 action-adventure video game developed by Ubi Soft Milan and published by Ubi Soft for the Game Boy Advance. A spin-off of the Tomb Raider series it follows protagonist Lara Croft as she explores multiple temples in search of keys to a world-destroying power. Gameplay features exploration combat and platforming displayed from a top-down isometric perspective. Unlike previous handhelds in the series such as the Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword which played in a side-scrolling two-dimensional form reminiscent of 8-bit games The Prophecy instead plays in an isometric viewpoint giving the player a viewpoint from above the player character's head. The game contains many familiar elements of the franchise such as being able to jump run climb and shoot. As the game was the first Tomb Raider to be rendered in an isometric view until Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light the game was also given a new combat system to suit the view style. The system does not include the regular player-controlled lock on gun play of previous games. It does instead contain an auto-lock system to make combating enemies easier. There are three weapons that the player can use: Lara's signature handguns Uzi pistols and golden guns. The controls were designed to be simple with the directional pad assigned to movement the A button is used as a jump button the R button pulls out or holsters weapons and the L button allows the player to sprint.
