Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return is a unique 2.5D platform-adventure game released for the PlayStation in 1999 by Whoopee Camp. Playing as the pink-haired feral boy Tomba, you set out to rescue your friend Tabby from the Evil Pigs who have cursed the continent. The game blends traditional side-scrolling platforming with RPG elements, requiring you to explore interconnected areas, solve puzzles, and complete a massive list of quests known as Events.
How to Play
The objective is to lift the curses placed on the world by capturing the Evil Pigs in special magical bags. You navigate the environment on fixed paths, leaping onto enemies to bite and toss them. The game features a quest system where talking to NPCs and finding items unlocks new Events to solve. Default PlayStation controls mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move (and press up/down at intersections to switch paths), Z to jump, X to attack with your equipped weapon, and Enter to open the Event menu to check your active quests.
Tips
- Always check your Event list if you are unsure where to go next, as it tracks every quest you have started and completed.
- Make sure to equip different suits when exploring; the Flying Squirrel suit lets you glide across wide gaps, while the Pig suit allows you to speak with friendly pigs.
- Don’t ignore small side quests, as completing Events rewards you with Adventure Points (AP) that are needed to open certain reward boxes scattered throughout the world.
