Since clearing a world and its boss with the set amount of lives is so difficult, you’ll find yourself playing on Beginner simply because you can’t afford to continue on other difficulties. While the regular Veteran mode charges you 300 coins to revive, Beginner only costs you 10 coins. When you lose all of your lives, you have to use coins that you earn from beating worlds to continue the current world without restarting entirely, which is a pain in and of itself. While the story is lengthened by the three optional difficulty modes, the complete lack of balance for each setting makes the story mode frustrating. It feels inconsistent, and makes the later worlds feel like a slog, even with its short playtime. Finding keys is a pain when the spawn rates for enemies ramp up continually, while survival mode can be easily beaten by just hiding in a corner. These modes are fine in concept, but unbalanced in execution. Some stages have you eliminate all enemies on the field, while others have you survive for a set amount of time, or find keys inside of blocks. Each stage jumps between different win conditions. While the core gameplay is fun and the visuals of each stage are unique, the levels and their design is a major problem. At its center, Bomberman R is a classic Bomberman game, where you simply run around a grid, dropping bombs and hiding behind walls to eliminate your foes. The single player mode’s gameplay is another story. The Dastardly Bombers have their own quirks that seem to be a play on the typical anime-villain clichés, making the story itself a brief but fun adventure.

White, the main Bomberman everybody knows, yearns for justice and the ability to protect others, while Blue is a lazy dope that is asleep every time you see him. Each color of Bomber has their own personality, all of which are over-the-top and wonderfully hammy. What matters is the characters, all of whom are incredibly charming in their own ridiculous way. The story is simple, but that’s exactly what the storyline of a Bomberman game should be. “ Each color of Bomber has their own personality, all of which are over-the-top and wonderfully hammy“

Spurred to action, the Bombermen go off to battle the Bombers, beat Buggler, and save the galaxy. Suddenly, the villainous Buggler appears on T.V., saying that he’s taken over the galaxy, and that he and his Five Dastardly Bombers will destroy anyone who doesn’t kneel to them. are living in harmony together, slacking off and occasionally training to protect the world from future dangers. The concept is simple: the Bomberman Bros. The story mode in Bomberman R is the only single-player mode available in the game. This is why it was so exciting to see Bomberman R as a Switch launch title, and why it’s so disappointing that it’s a short and janky experience that’s more akin to a budget game than a fully-featured release. For such a fundamentally solid series with a concept that thrives on fun and simplicity, Bomberman is disappointingly absent from the main stage in the video game industry.

MonsterVine was provided with a copy of the game for review.īomberman is a franchise that seems to disappear from time to time, hopping in and out of relevancy in a confusing fashion. Super Bomberman R is a charming and fun game in short segments, but its lack of content and confusing difficulty curves make it feel less like a fully-featured retail game, and more like an underwhelming budget title.
