#Tembo the badass elephant gameplay series#

ItвЂ™s an absolutely fantastic platformer in its own right and it can be as fun as hell to play, but it can become a bit of a drag after a lengthy play-session. Overall Tembo The Badass Elephant offers a pretty good challenger to the likes of Sonic and Rayman, but sadly fails to keep the charm found in your first hour or two of gameplay. There are however points, especially after a couple of hours play, where the game starts to lose its lustre and fails to keep you hooked as you probably would with platformers like Mario or Rayman. Fortunately the gameвЂ™s cartoonish charm does keep you coming back for more as the joy you get from smashing vehicles, boxes, and enemy contraptions is just too fun to give up. The replayability of past levels isnвЂ™t all that appealing either, as youвЂ™ve probably come across a part of the level which frustrated the hell out of you, and having to trawl back through that once more to tackle and area you might have missed, or to find a bad-guy youвЂ™d rather avoid, does become pretty tedious.

Each level is filled with a series of traps, goons, crates of peanuts, and trapped civilians for you to rescue, and while the game is wholly linear, there are some aspects of freedom in terms of exploring corners of each level for hidden items. Each of these stages are set in Zones too, which also gives Sonic another swift kick out the door. So, as Tembo, youвЂ™re sent through a series of stages each with its own unique styling in this fantastic looking 2.5D world. To me it felt like a mixture of Sonic the Hedgehog mixed with Rayman. After around 10 minutes with the game I already felt at home with the controls, the way Tembo moved, and the overall concept of the game. HeвЂ™s tasked with saving the world by smushing one goon at a time while also collecting trapped civilians. Tembo the Badass Elephant is your typical fast-paced, lack of spacial awareness, hero who lets nobody stand in his way. It crams in that feeling with the joy of experiencing something new, and considering itвЂ™s made by the developers of the PokГ©mon games, theyвЂ™ve done a great job. For the first time in a number of years IвЂ™ve been reminded of the frustration found only in Sonic the Hedgehog titles from the Mega Drive era. For the Forget Sonic, I think SEGA may have a new mascot on their hands, and thatвЂ™s the badass ass kicking mammal, Tembo the Badass Elephant.
