The necessary risk associated with using your bombs has always been a hallmark of the series, after all.
Each player’s bombs can destroy either player, and you tend to lay a lot of bombs while working through a level. Just as in Saturn Bomberman, bringing a friend along for story mode doesn’t automatically make the game easier. It’s a needless restriction, but most levels are short enough to minimize the inconvenience. So if you wanted help on a boss, you’d need to have the player join before reaching that boss. The only catch is the second player won’t appear until the current level is completed. If the second player doesn’t join in before starting a world, they can still join in during the world itself. This entry has lots of unlockable guest characters from other Konami series, such as Castlevania, Silent Hill, Gradius, Metal Gear Solid, and more. All can be used in all game modes, co-op or The second player has the option of joining in on the Setup screen that precedes each world, with both players having access to any character the main player has unlocked. Story mode supports two-player local co-op. The camera can thankfully be set to “front” in the settings and never worried about again. But the shoulder buttons will toggle between a couple of other angles, with “front” being the normal right angle that suits this series best. The default view tilts the playfield at a strange obtuse angle that nobody could possibly find intuitive.
Your enjoyment of story mode will be affected by your camera setting. But other than these quirks (which you get used to), it feels like a proper Konami/Hudson-developed Bomberman game. Oddly, bombs are laid with the B button on Xbox/Circle on PlayStation, and (for no discernible reason) this can’t be changed. 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.
