Story 10/10: Tomba's grandpa has a golden bracelet but one day, some evil pigs (yes pigs) took it!! Now Tomba is out to get back the bracelet and get rid of the pigs. Well, either way, it's still a neat game. There are over 130 different events in all - some of which can be completed at random or in any fashion you'd like. Every time you collect an item that someone or something needs, it is referred to as an event. As you journey along, you will come across people who need something or a town that requires your help. He'll come across a wide variety of items along the way ranging from charity wings (teleportation to already visited places) to the 1,000 year-old key (opens 1,000 year-old treasure chests).īreaking the mold of the traditional platformer, Tomba! is more non-linear rather than it is a level-to-level game. Each weapon has a specific purpose and certain ones should be used at different times a grapple for high-up places and the boomerang for distance attacks. Among his weapons is the default blackjack (a spiked ball with a rope attached), a grapple and various boomerangs. Tomba also makes use of weapons and items. Once all three experience meters reach level ten (in order to do this, Tomba must do certain things), he will unlock and learn an ability. He has seven abilities that can be learned throughout the duration of the game. Little do you know that the quest for your bracelet will turn into so much more.īecause of its role-playing elements, in Tomba!, your character will gain experience points, develop new skills and learn new things. You assume the role of Tomba and begin your adventure. The game starts out simple enough with the evil Koma Pigs stealing Tomba's bracelet, which was given to him by his grandfather. Aside from sporting a wacky pink hairdo, Tomba! offers a long and brain twisting experience that mixes the traditional 2D side scrolling action/platformer with the elements of a role-playing game.
