http://store.steampowered.com/app/341870/ Release Date: July 21 Part Commando. All Elephant. TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT is a larger than life, 2D side-scrolling action adventure from the creative geniuses behind the Pokémon games.
So what's the game's premise?
Tembo the Badass Elephant is a super fun side scrolling action game with badass combat and fantastically satisfying destruction. You play as Tembo, the elephant commando, whose mission is to save Shell City from the dastardly PHANTOM army and the mysterious PHANTOM Commander. You will smash. You will dash. You will crash through hordes of heavily armoured enemy troops, and go head to head with some truly massive mechanical bosses.
What has inspired you?
From a gameplay point of view, definitely classic side-scrolling games from the 16-Bit era, including Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, Metal Slug and even Final Fight, great games like that. From a setting point of view, 80's action movies like the Rambo series or Commando.
From a spiritual point of view, I'd say the ancient Greek commander Hannibal. That guy did not give up, and he also worked alongside some ancient badass elephants.
What kind of modes are you going to offer?
This game is a single player game, with a main story mode. You can revisit stages, search for all the captured civilians, destroy every last PHANTOM enemy, and finish the stage with a quick time, all in order to get a total stage score. The score will then be shared on worldwide leaderboards. I'm really looking forward to seeing replay videos and high scores for this game!
Why is your new game not coming out for Wii U?
When I was writing the presentation documents for this game, I drew a
mockup poster, and I put the Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox logos at
the bottom. It seemed to fit, and it happened to stick that way. We thought about other hardware during development, but our hands were pretty full with those three platforms!
Story
Quote:
Shell City is plunged into a state of emergency after coming under attack from the devastating forces of PHANTOM, led by a mysterious masked commander. Terrifying war machines emblazoned with skulls tear through the city leaving a trail of destruction in their wake! As the National Army struggles to contain PHANTOM, General Krenman sees the mammoth task at hand and calls upon the only thing that stands between Shell City’s obliteration and its salvation; the peanut chompin’, villain stompin’, PHANTOM romping BADASS Elephantidae… TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT!
Aided by his faithful avian companion Picolo, it’s up to Tembo to jump, smash, punch, swing and butt stomp his way through the PHANTOM hordes as he aims to bring about the end of their tyrannical onslaught. Featuring 17 cleverly designed 2D side-scrolling levels, a whole host of deadly enemies and unique comic book style art, Tembo The Badass Elephant is the heaviest action adventure of the year…weighing in at about seven and a half tons of fun.
Looks like it's getting some poor reviews and there's a bunch of issues with the game unfortunately.
Quote:
- They appear to have accidentally released the demo instead of the full game
- No support for resolutions above 1080p, the option is there but it does not work. Game also changes to 720p and Windowed even if you selected a higher resolution and did not select Windowed in the launcher.
- No built-in controller support despite also being on consoles, key rebinds don't stick after quitting
- Framerate drops when objects are destroyed, which will happen every few seconds if you're actually playing the game
- Generally poor text formatting, a petty complaint but noticeable (stuff like no spaces after commas, etc.) - this doesn't affect gameplay but shows a poor attention to detail by the studio
Devs can't even port a 2.5D game and publisher can't even upload the full game on Steam.
Valve should introduce a new policy: No ports in the platform. All Steam games should be developed on pc.
I can live without all these shitty consolish "AAA" titles.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)

Why release a game when Sega accidentally released demo instead of full game
