THE GAME

Kao The Kangaroo is a 3D platformer from veterans of the genre Tate Multimedia, featuring a plucky, cheeky but a cutie, Kao The Kangaroo (Hey, just like in the title!) on a quest to uncover the truth around the disappearance of his father.

THE JOURNEY

During his journey, Kao will explore a wide variety of beautifully detailed environments, each harboring secrets to uncover. At every turn, Kao faces new challenges. He’ll have to use all his skills while learning some new ones...not all of them being natural to the world he lives in! As they say, it’s the journey that makes us, not the destination.

THE CONTENT

Being inspired by the heyday of 3D platformers, as well as building on Kao’s 21-year legacy, Kao The Kangaroo is packed with plenty of jumping, thumping, puzzle-solving, and collecting. A whole new amazing adventure with all the charm you’d expect from not just the genre, but Kao himself!

THE CAST

Kao’s beautiful and bright world is filled with a host of colorful characters just waiting for you to meet them... in some cases (try to) defeat them! From wise mentors and inquisitive inventors to big old bullies, the cast of Kao The Kangaroo is as memorable as it is expansive!

THE FIGHT

While on his journey Kao will have to overcome many foes. Quick and nimble strikers, slow and lumbering brutes, and everything in between. Kao will have to use all the lessons he’s learned to defeat those who stand before him…

THE GLOVES

The mysterious, mesmerizing, long-buried, gloves Kao has on his paws are oozing with power yet to be fully unleashed. They’ll be a key tool in Kao’s journey, helping to ward off foes and traverse the world. Will the secrets of their power ever be fully understood? Kao looks to find out.

THE WORLD

Explore a diverse range of Unique and beautiful interactive worlds filled with fresh challenges, enemies, puzzles, and secrets! Jump, climb, dive and ride your way through highly detailed environments as Kao progresses on his journey!

THE MISTERY

Lurking behind Kao’s plane of existence lays a whole other world filled with mystery, uncontrollable power, and chaos...the Eternal World. A link between the two worlds exists, melding together. Its secrets are in Kao’s hands, giving him new powers...but at what cost?

KAO IS BACK

Good, but not perfect

DISCLAIMER: I played this on another platform. Kao was one of many platformer mascots from the late 90s-early 2000s that didn't match up to the likes of Mario or Crash. This game takes a lot of inspiration from those classic platformers, and while it's very well put together it does have a few problems. Visually it's very good to look at, and gameplay is straight from the platformers of old - run, jump, grab ledge, collect lots and lots of items, fight baddies. Unfortunately combat usually ends up being a lot of button-mashing, the main game doesn't last very long (a few hours if you're not hunting for secrets), and the story isn't that solid - you'll work out who the main bad guy is long before the end. It also has a few outdated pop culture references, but these stop after the first part of the game. Overall, I can recommend it to younger or more casual gamers who need a platforming fix, but more serious players are likely to be disappointed.

Cute & polished Platformer

Kao 4 is easily the best game in the series so far. I was looking for a cute 3D platformer that feels modern and plays well, and that it pretty much what you get here. Only downside is, that you cannot safe inside levels, and levels can take 30-40 minutes, so you will have to commit to that. I like, how it all feels so polished. Smaking crates and collecting coins just feels so smooth with all the fluffy jumping animations. It has quite a good flow and so far is neither frustrating nor boring to me, which is also great.

Works on Windows 7

Straight forward collect-a-thon platformer, nothing deep, doesn't overstay it's welcome. However, I couldn't help but think I would rather be playing the Spyro remasters.

Good relaxing platformer

Not usually my type of game, but try the genre every now and then. It was pretty good to just go arond and be a kangaroo beating up things with your boxing gloves. The devs did the best they could with the IP, and I thing they did a good job. Reccomend it when you got nothing to do, want something low stakes, relaxing to do objectives look around the world. Especially when it goes for sale.
