Super Bomberman R shakes things up by having differently shaped blocks and dynamic arenas that can be moved with by interacting with ground panels. The challenge comes from learning where best to place bombs to trap enemies and grab useful powerups. To briefly explain what a Bomberman game entails, you have to walk around a stage dropping bombs that explode. ![]() Well, really, it's a set of mazes with goals like "kill all enemies", "survive for a set amount of time", "activate all switches", and "escort Bombermen to the goal", just to name a handful. If the local battles aren't what you came for, you can attempt this so-called "Story Mode". They've exhumed Bomberman's dusty corpse and excreted a new console release - they've charged full price for, what is essentially, 2007's Bomberman Live but with a story mode. That's all well and good, but that's just one reasonable part of an otherwise weak package. Two players with a Jo圜on each, it's an easy set-up for some kickin' multiplayer action. You can adjust all the parameters to your liking: item frequency, map choice, revenge carts, time limits, and all that wonderful stuff. Yes, the offline multiplayer is wonderful. It's the core Bomberman multiplayer that is selling this title, and thankfully they haven't messed with it too much. This game isn't designed to have a strong singleplayer component no, that isn't what you're supposed to be coming back for. ![]() ![]() Super Bomberman R is the "multiplayer launch title" for the Switch and not much else. This is a game loaded with colourful visuals in an industry plagued by dull colours. This is an online-enabled Bomberman game with a local story mode, some nice eye-popping visuals and a bombin' soundtrack. I wanted a Bomberman game that would be fun to play online, but what I got was so infuriating I am genuinely considering trading this in towards a game that doesn't punish you for not having godlike reflexes and deep pockets. And with its cruel and unfair restrictions and limitations, the game could be considered an act of terrorism. You won't be able to take your Switch on a plane now, because Super Bomberman R is here.
