![]() ![]() Super Bomberman R falls into the latter category and wouldn’t look out of place on a PS Vita. Like many Switch titles announced, you can see a distinction between games designed for the TV and those designed for the handheld. The maps by-and-large offer little variation, with most of the environmental changes demanding no real change in strategy.Įach of the controller settings work without a hitch.I found the most pleasurable play style was with the Joy-Con Grip, but the simple mechanics are easily transferable. This can lead to some very exciting matches. The best attribute of multiplayer is the return of Revenge Carts, which see you posthumously lobbing bombs into the arena in an attempt to get back in the game. Unless you have four, or eight, friends playing at the same time, the multiplayer can also be a struggle at times. Try and introduce your friends to the Switch with this title and you’ll be met with a dead stare as the AI dispatches them with ease. The AI is particularly unfriendly to any kind of party atmosphere. However, with each computer-controlled player having identical AI personalities, they can spend half a round treading the exact same path and thus constantly repeating itself like a broken Bill Withers record. When two characters ghost through each other, they each say a quirky little catchphrase. The worst part of the V/O reveals itself in the multiplayer AI. Watching two sisters remind each other that they had a Big sister who malfunctioned as if they had no idea was cringeworthy, to say the least. The clumsy exposition is a treat, especially on Planet Lalaland (wait, I mean Moonligh– Oh no, it is actually Planet Lalaland). The English V/O is slow and drains the characters of any self-worth. As someone who has played the campaign fully and taken back the Starry Sky Solar System from evil, I can firmly advise you to not bother. Planet 3 is genuinely enjoyable, marrying the essential components of challenge and joy, but it is an exception. I would suggest using the D-Pad instead of the analog stick. Controlling your Bomberman can be an issue in the Campaign due to the angled map layout. This latter part piqued my interest, but poor character design and frustrating level design left me wanting. The boss fights are in two parts: the first is a one-v-one classic style deathmatch where luck plays a large role the second is a large-scale isometric boss fight. Most, if not all, of these robot warriors have childlike sensibilities that make you reach for the skip button quicker than you can hard quit on the entire campaign itself. These eight characters vary from the egomaniacal ‘Black’, to the perennially dozing ‘Blue’. The opening cutscene introduces each of the playable two-dimensional characters in a sequence that, despite its endearing charm, is far too long the same can be said for all cutscenes. SBR has you and your seven siblings fight it out against the five Dastardly Bombers who have been summoned to conquest a Solar System. The Story mode is that second child you thought you wanted but then you realise you were happier with just one. Without touching a controller, you could be forgiven for thinking this is everything Bomberman and video game fans have been looking for. It’s colourful, flashy, and has character. The soundtrack throughout the game affirms these foundations and the retro style doesn’t interfere with the quality composition.Īs far as the game looks, it’s everything you’d want from a Bomberman title in 2017. ![]() When you start up Super Bomberman R, the title music is a joy to behold, invoking all the nostalgia of classic Konami titles.
