Back in March of this year, Square Enix trademarked the name Lara Croft: Reflections. Some speculated it would be a 3DS or PlayStation Vita game. Nope, it's a free-to-play card battler.
Lara Croft: Reflections is in testing right now in Austraila and New Zealand, so anyone with an account in those regions can download it and put it through its paces, much like the fine folks at TouchGameplay do in the video above (via Pocket Gamer).
Instead of shooting, jumping and skulking about, the mobile game sees Lara collecting cards in order to... oh god, I am so tired of collecting cards to do things. Here's the description from iTunes.
