So here we are with yet another exciting game, which is a blend of action-arcade with physics puzzles and can make your day if you like any of these categories. This game is from developer Miniclip who boasts almost two millions hits on their website every single day. Miniclip’s website was started back in 2001 and featured just online games. Right now their website is in top ten thousand sites, based on traffic, and that’s not a small achievement. The success they have achieved shows that they know what people are looking for when they want to pass their free time. This time they have come up with Hambo, yeah it does sound like Rambo and it is somewhat related to that too. Hambo is a cross platform game which is not only available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone but also for computer through their website and requires Unity Web player to run. This game is about rescuing a friend from enemies clutches. With rating of 4.4/5 stars across all platforms, Hambo covers itself up very decently in all areas and is very addictive.
Sadly, Sylvester Stallone you’re long gone because now the focal point of our interest is Hambo, another sweatband wearing but a lot more deadly fighter who is ready to tear the world apart to find his friend bacon because no one touches his Bacon!!! When Hambo and Bacon, the porky friends-for-life buddies, came back from War in Vietnam, instead of being greeted with love and affection they were terrorized by a pig cop. Both of the friendship duos ran to save their life. Hambo successfully evaded them but Bacon fell prey to that cop and his subordinate pigs. Now just to prove his loyal friendship he didn’t even waste a single second and went back to bring his friend from the puzzling traps of enemies. There are different missions, each one of them divided into levels. You will guide Hambo though these levels, killing other enemy pigs, destroying Ice clabs and tonnes of more obstacle with dangerous weapons in hands just to make his way towards Bacon.
This game doesn’t asks for Google Play Games nor for Facebook synchronization. This means you cannot get your game data out of a single device and you’ll lose your progress if you have to reinstall it again. No Google Play Games means no experience points for your account so if you’re looking to raise your level this game isn’t the one. This review is based upon free-to-play 1.1.8 version of Hambo. To run this game Android users will require Android 2.1 (Éclair), for iOS devices iOS 4.3 is bare minimum and Windows Phone 8.0 for WP users. This game isn’t graphics intensive by any means hence should work on almost every device without any lag.
Hambo contains a total of seven missions, six of these missions are available for free version of game, while the last mission, ‘Aporkalipse’, can only be accessed if user gets anything through in-app purchases. Out of six free missions only one of them will be accessible initially. To play other five you have to unlock them. Each mission contains forty-two levels. At every level you will face enemy pigs. You will use your weapons to either directly shoot at them or use indirect puzzling methods to kill them. After clearing all enemies on each level you will get gold coins and a medal. The medal you’ll get will either be a gold, silver or bronze, and it depends upon the number of shots that you take before clearing out those pigs. The number of shots required to obtain a gold medal varies from level to level. You have to complete a level to advance to next one but you can skip levels too using ‘Skips’. I don’t know if it’s a bug or the developer set the game this way that completing all levels of mission one will unlock second mission but it is not the same for the third and rest of the missions. You will have to use gold coins to unlock the remaining missions from the store. Luckily, Miniclip was good enough to spare us from the wait-to-play stamina system, hence there’s nothing stopping you from playing except locked missions.
There are six different weapons that Hambo will use but not all of them will be available on every level nor the user have the option to take weapon of their choice. Whenever you’ll get a new weapon, a small tutorial will guide you how to use it. The weapons available will be visible on the left bottom of the screen. The bullets/shoots of each weapon are limited and remaining will be written on weapon’s icon. If there are multiple weapons available for a level, there won’t be any restrictions on which order you can use them. The controls are pretty simple and they do give a touch of angry birds. To select a weapon just press on its icon, to aim you will touch and/or swipe across the screen and to shoot press again weapon’s icon. A different touch that Miniclip has provided here is that the bullets can bounce off if it hits something else than pigs, and impact power of explosives transmits through barriers. You have to take care as these bullets and explosives can kill you as well. There is also a health bar for every pig including Hambo, normally a single hit should be enough but if you’re trying to kill your enemies using indirect methods such as explosive, depending on impact power, several hits might be required.
The difficulty of game increases after every level, gameplay is more like solving puzzles. There is a trick behind every level to reduce number of shots required to achieve gold medal. If you aren’t able to clear a level, you can skip directly to the next level or check solution of the present one. To opt for any of these just pause the menu and you will find options there to do so. Initially you can skip three and check the solution of three levels without paying a penny, once you have utilized these you can purchase them again from the store.
The primary and only currency of this game is Gold coins, and there are three ways to obtain them. Primarily by clearing levels and it’s by far the slowest and most insufficient method of all. You can get a maximum of ten coins from each level, winning a gold medal will get you all ten coins, with a silver medal you’ll receive eight of them, and bronze just gets six of them. If you don’t have a gold medal in any of the level you can repeat them to obtain remaining gold coins. The second method is by installing apps on your device to get ‘GetJar’ points and convert them into gold coins. Installing every app will get you ten GetJar points and there are four packages to convert GetJar into gold coins. The third option is basically in-app purchase section of the game and there are four packs to choose from. Fifteen hundred coins will cost $0.99, thirty-five hundred coins will cost $1.99, for $4.99 you will get nine thousand coins, and the most expensive pack costs $9.99 and gives twenty thousand gold coins in return.
Hambo features a store section where you can customize Hambo by changing his outfit, unlock remaining missions, and purchase solutions and skips. There are total of thirty-four different outfits available and each costs five hundred coins. These outfit can change Hambo into an Indian, caveman or even a Santa.
In missions sections you can unlock all missions for twenty thousand coins or any specific mission for eight thousand. Solutions’ section also contains four packages, ranging from fifteen hundred coins for three solutions till five thousand two-hundred coins for twelve solutions. Skips’ department also contains the same numbers of packages and the prices are similar too for same number of skips.
Hambo is such a fun game to play, but coins, all costumes, and all missions are really important to keep you going through the game. While you can get the coins, all costumes, and all missions through the app store, it will cost real money to purchase, and this adds up quickly. If you would like to get the coins, all costumes, and all missions without spending any money, you need to download our hack tool, which you can find right here on our website.
If you look at the image below, you will see just how easy the Hambo hack tool is to use. All you have to do is go into the options menu and enter the amount of coins, all costumes, and all missions that you would like to add to your account.
Simply download our free Hambo hack tool, which should take around 30 seconds. Then you will need to wait 20 seconds while it automatically installs. You then need to select either iOS or Android, depending on the device you are using. After that just enter the amounts of coins, all costumes, and all missions that you would like to add to your gaming account.
When you are ready to begin, tap “Start” to begin the Hambo hack tool, and this should take under 30 seconds to complete. Afterward, open up the app on your device, and you will see that the coins, all costumes, and all missions have already been added to your account.
Whenever you clear a level you get gold coins and if you reset game from options you will lose all your missions and levels’ progression but the gold coins will stay there. So all you have to do is play the game and reset, and repeat this procedure till you think that you have gained enough to unlock all remaining levels. This exploit works on 1.1.8 version of Hambo and I cannot guarantee that it will work on future version as it can be corrected by the developer.
Another tip is that don’t waste your gold coins on anything instead save them to unlock missions and if you aren’t able to solve any level then try to shoot randomly on different areas because many levels are based upon luck rather than logic.
There is nothing that lies in the middle in Hambo, things will either be extremely goodand amusing or equally worse and annoying. Let’s start with the good part. This game with its artwork, humor and gameplay will make sure that you always keep a smile on your face and it’s not just these three things, the choice of sounds is impressive too.
Right from the main menu the humor section of this game takes a peak with quotes like ‘give ‘em ham!’, ‘born to Bacon’ and you will even notice them under the costumes i.e. under Santa you will find ‘Naughty pigs will get a gift, the gift of bullets’. It is not just these texts, if you’ll point your weapon on an enemy pig, the way they sweats and gets frightened is hilarious. If you kill them they’ll explode by giving Hamburgers, can of drinks or roasted pig face and by the way did anyone notice that Ham + Rambo = Hambo?
The artwork is cute, colorful and cartoonish, although the game’s transitions and animations aren’t smooth but you will not feel it after a while. The character customization isn’t the best in class but believe me you’ll not have enough gold coins to purchase even the available ones. The UI is simple, there isn’t nor does it requires any guidance to get used to it, as it’s self-explanatory. There are tutorials for every different obstacles and controls. The controls could have been better and more accurate if they had used drag to aim rather than touch to aim.
The menu soundtrack is a mixture of rock and pop with a touch of pig’s squealing exactly what a pig would want before going into a war. The background music during gameplay is soft-pop which is relaxing and helps you to think. The place where this game really shines is the gameplay. It’s perfectly refreshing, the increment in difficulty follows a constant gradient, there will be bouncing rubber mats, sliding ice boxes and a lot more. Although some levels which are more dependent upon luck rather than actual logics but there aren’t many of them.
Now let’s have a glance at the negative aspects of Hambo. First of all the game is filled with annoying ads, I know it’s free but it’s the first time that I’ve seen ads during the gameplay and it’s not on top or bottom but takes a wide strip on the right side and there are chances that you’ll press them accidentally. That’s not all, if you restart a level for few times another ad will be prompted and can only be skipped after waiting ten seconds.
Gold Coins are given at an extremely slow rate and above all, I don’t know that if it’s a glitch or was done on purpose by developer, you can unlock only the second mission via clearing levels and huge amount of gold coins are required for the remaining!!! If it is done on purpose then, literally, developers should be ashamed because it the worst method I’ve to force users towards in-app purchases.
Artwork: I’ll give Hambo a 7.5/10 for its artwork. Miniclip isn’t new to these games, they made graphics clean, less intensive so that almost every smart device can witness the raise of Hambo. The map and characters are impressively designed and detailed, even characters’ expressions changes while shooting. Everything that artwork of a physics-puzzle game requires is here.
Music & SFX: Hambo gets deserving 8/10 here. I’ve to admit the music & SFX of this game is far better than what you hear in this category. Even after playing for hours, none of the sound felt repetitive (at least to me). Every weapon has an interesting note, although the length of notes might be small but they are different than each other.
Story & Originality: Hambo receives a 7/10 for his tale. Android version doesn’t contain any background information about Hambo and Bacon but website version does. There are many games on save-your-friend but saving people’s own war hero from them is something different and usage of puzzles is even more divergent.
General Gameplay: I’ll give Hambo an 8/10 here. Overall, the gameplay is strong and enjoyable without any major loopholes. The difficulty increases but game gets more interesting, there’ll be iced floor, oil barrels, ice blocks and even bouncing pads. Gameplay experience would have been better than this if there weren’t any constantly popping ads and missions were available without the hassle it asks.
Addictiveness: Hambo does deserve another 8/10 here. I’ll be lying if I’d say that it’s not addictive because it is like a time wasting drug and you’ll keep on playing it until you don’t get a blockage by locked missions. There aren’t many things in this game but whatever it contains makes sure that you keep this game on top of your kill-subway-time list.
Despite those annoying ads and constant pushes towards in-app purchases I’ll give Hambo a 7.5/10
