Now how difficult is the game? I found Tembo the Badass Elephant to have a good difficulty curve from start to finish. Zappo Land, the elephant approved amusement park No skill feels useless, and all are necessary for driving back the PHANTOM army for good. Although it didn't have much use early on, water becomes something you can't be without by later in the game. The water adds an interesting element as you find yourself against fire spewing tanks, flamethrower soldiers, and even just flaming crates. Various enemy types employ all of Tembo's skills including tanks, missile turrets, helicopters, spike shelled soldiers, gun toting soldiers, and more. For the most part though, I didn't experience too many issues with the controls as I ran, jumped, and slammed my way through each stage. It would have been nice if there were options to map specific Tembo actions to the various unused buttons on the controller. Although these moves can be fun to perform, by all being bound to a single button, more than once I caught myself accidentally throwing myself over an edge into deadly fire, an abyss, and various other ways that you can accomplish losing a life by falling into the wrong place. The vast majority of these actions are performed with only jump and two other buttons: one for spraying water, and one for everything else with different moves performed by angling the control stick various ways either on the ground or in the air. The moves are fun to perform and add a level of strategy to enemy encounters as you decide what the best moves for any particular situation might be. He can jump, do a small hover by kicking his legs, sprint forward with deadly force, perform a jump slam, do a spin attack to rocket like a cannonball in midair, use his trunk for an uppercut, as well as use his trunk to spray water. Tembo himself has a small array of moves used to navigate levels as well as fight the PHANTOM army. Playing as Tembo brings an experience reminiscent of other games in the genre. Every 300 peanuts is one more life, shown as jars of peanut butter, and peanut totals thankfully carry over from stage to stage.īurn, baby, burn, disco inferno.I mean, uh, don't forget to rescue peopleīut how about gameplay? What's it like playing as this so-called badass elephant? Last but not least, stages also contain peanuts, the currency of the game collected towards gaining more lives. Although rescuing all civilians and defeating all enemies isn't necessary for beating the game, going after these challenges is the best way to experience all that each stage has to offer. For fans of completion or just those who want to get the high score, all stages contain a specific number of enemies that you can take out, as well as ten civilians to rescue from the clutches of the PHANTOM army, along with a timer that altogether gives a level score. Each zone is generally split into five stages as well, with the final two levels in the first three zones being first a PHANTOM dome, a level through one of the giant invading PHANTOM army vehicles, and the second being a boss fight, each of which tends to be challenging and fun. Entering a new zone brings a refreshing change in scenery as well as new challenges to overcome. Each zone presents unique challenges, and none overstay their welcome. These zones include Shell City, Greenville Peaks, Zappo Land, and one more zone where the PHANTOM army is stopped once and for all. The game itself is divided into 18 stages across four different zones. Tembo has three missions to accomplish while fighting the PHANTOM army: destroy the PHANTOM domes, the main PHANTOM army invading vehicles, primarily, and secondarily rescue all civilians and defeat every single member of the invading army. Because sometimes the only solution to a problem is a rampaging elephant
