Kao the Kangaroo: Bend the Roo'les DLC Video Game Review

Taking place after the events of the main game, Bend the Roo’les places you in the gloves of the hard-hitting Kangaroo Kao as you take on a new enemy. Awoken by the kangaroos on Kao’s small island, the Crab King is furious, and now being infused with the powers of the Eternal World (that played as a key part of the first game), he is set on wiping out all of Kao’s kind so that he can return to his slumber.

Only Kao the Kangaroo can stop him, although this time, the five levels that you can play through are moderately more challenging, requiring even the best Kao players to up their game and really give it their all. The time trial portions that are a part of the game now will put your skills to the test, and require both quick reflexes and unwavering focus.

While the first game was pretty approachable by even lower skill gamers, Bend the Roo’les is not, and if you found the base game challenging, this DLC is NOT going to be for you. That’s not to say it’s not fun or worth picking up, but if you’re not looking to invest time into becoming better at Kao the Kangaroo, you will be frustrated with and let down by Bend the Roo’les. However, if you did enjoy Kao the Kangaroo and want to experience more content within Kao's established universe, Bend the Roo'les is ultimately worth the time investment required.

Developed and Published by Tate Media, Bend the Roo’les is a DLC expansion for Kao the Kangaroo that released May 4th, 2022 for PC, Playstation and Xbox, and on May 27th, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch. For this review video, I played the Playstation 5 version.

Disclosure: I received a free review key for Bend the Roo'les from the Publisher through Lurkit.com – thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
