Tembo the Badass Elephant is a dynamic platformer with war elephant as protagonist. It has been developed by Game Freak studio, best known from popular Pokemon series, for PC, PS4 and XONE

Plot

Tembo isn’t an ordinary elephant: one brief look at him is enough to realize he’s been inspired by the legendary Rambo movie series. The same goes for game’s setting, with the story starting with invasion of forces from mysterious Phantom organization, led by their masked leader. Only Tembo can prevent the destruction of the Shell City and defeat evil invaders.

Gameplay

Tembo the Badass Elephant for PC, PS4 and XONE is a classic, two-dimensional platformer, in which we cross seventeen different stages. There are some puzzles, but the game focuses on dealing with hordes of enemies. Some of them require proper strategy, but in the end, it all comes down to the same thing – destroying everything in our path. This we achieve by using Tembo’s tusks, momentum or special skill – rolling through our foes.

Technical aspects

Tembo the Badass Elephant presents players with two-dimensional visuals, with specific style and very detailed design of locations giving it unique vibe.
