Throwing bombs is a bit iffy because the throw distance is too far, and bombs can also land on top of structures when you’d want them to bounce over. Players can walk diagonally, but it rarely comes into play because most levels adhere to the traditional grid-structure that characterizes mainline Bomberman games. Our heroes start with no power-ups and must use their bombs to destroy soft blocks and enemies, hopefully finding useful items in the process.

The gameplay will be instantly familiar to series fans. The English voices are a bit too hammy (and wildly different from traditional series voices), but at least they make each colored Bomberman truly distinct from the others. The basic premise is that the evil Buggler Army has revived the five Dastardly Bombers in order to take over the universe, and only the eight Bomberman Rangers (each color-coded and with a humorous personality trait). The story is surprisingly cinematic, with multiple animated and fully voiced cutscenes per planet. Super Bomberman R’s story mode consists of six distinct planets, each with eight levels and two challenging boss fights.

The former Switch exclusive now resides on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam as well, bringing 2-player local co-op plus the local and online multiplayer that fans crave. After letting the series lie dormant for too long, Konami has finally revived the franchise with Super Bomberman R.

Though the series was known mostly for its competitive multiplayer, some of the best entries in the series – especially Saturn Bomberman – featured local co-op as well. Before shooters took over the gaming scene, Bomberman was the premiere multiplayer gaming franchise.
