Up to eight players can join locally and battle on the same TV, according to a wide range of custom options: number of rounds time starting position skulls (bad effects) pressure blocks (sudden death) and revenge carts, which allow defeated players to hover outside the map and toss bombs back in. Local multiplayer is an absolute blast (forgive the pun). In any event, the selling point of any Bomberman game is its multiplayer mode, and it's here where Konami and HexaDrive perform on more stable ground. Both are rewarding and challenging, and break up the monotony of the main campaign. Round one is a cat-and-mouse game with each Bomber's robot form, and round two is a battle against his or her giant mech. Every ninth or tenth stage, the Bombermen siblings face off against one of the five Dastardly Bombers. There is a bright spot, however: boss battles. Making matters more frustrating in story mode is an isometric camera that makes it difficult to judge gaps and elevation changes. Konami and HexaDrive attempted to spice things up with different objectives, for example rescuing stranded civilians or finding hidden keys, but even that variety doesn't do much to elevate the repetitive and shallow gameplay. The story is simple and inoffensive, and told swiftly via animated cut-scenes.ĥ0 levels may sound like a lot, but they go by quickly.
Up to two players can play through the story's 50 levels, which span across five planets. Set in the Starry Sky solar system, this newest Bomberman game follows the heroic White Bomberman and his seven put-upon siblings as they attempt to rid the system of the evil Professor Buggler (formerly Bagura). In many ways, Bomberman R is the tale of two games, as its story mode disappoints while its multiplayer mode - especially its local multiplayer mode - entertains.
Co-developed by Konami and HexaDrive, Bomberman R is split into two main modes: story and multiplayer. Now, 10 years after his last appearance and 33 years after his gaming debut, Bomberman is back with his seven siblings in Super Bomberman R. With the rise of 3D graphics engines and huge open worlds, top-down maze games fell out of fashion, and with them went the cheerful white bomb-layer himself, Bomberman.
