- For the 1993 game, see Lemmings 2: The Tribes.
Lemmings Tribes is a traditional Lemmings game for J2ME-enabled mobile phones. Released in 2008, it was the first Lemmings game to mention the tribes at all since The Lemmings Chronicles in 1994.
Tribes[]
Unlike previous games that featured the tribes, Lemmings Tribes doesn't have a story. Much like The Lemmings Chronicles, the game only features 3 tribes.
- Classic Tribe, featuring 14 levels.
- Medieval Tribe, featuring 13 levels.
- Space Tribe, featuring 16 levels.
Additionally, there are 4 separate Tutorial levels that teach the player the 8 classic skills, including a playground level with infinite time and infinite skills to play around with.
Gameplay[]
Unlike its predecessor Lemmings Return, the mechanics are significantly different from the J2ME version of Lemmings. The 8 classic skills, for example, all function a bit differently from how they do in either of the former 2 games. The level structure, however, is entirely identical to Lemmings. The number of lemmings in each level does not depend on how many the player saved in the previous level; each level simply has a save requirement the player must meet. The levels can have anywhere from 1 to 20 lemmings.
Skills[]
A Medieval Tribe lemming using the Icarus Wings skill.
Being the first Lemmings game to mention the tribes in over a decade, it's also the first traditional Lemmings game since 3D Lemmings to feature skills beyond the 8 classic skills. The different tribes have different selections of skills available to them.
