60 of 60 · most liked firstThe only Bomberman clone on Steam so far that gets it even close to being right. Unfortunately this isn't nearly ambitious or inspired enough, and they cut corners everywhere from recolored monsters, barely remixed public domain classical music, shared AI, and minimal Bomberman and Super Bomberman mechanics. However, it's still a fun and it's competent at what it does copy and the bosses are challenging if not cheaty at times. Online is also, naturally, dead if you don't have a friend/s ready…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ hardcore solo campaign (you will need an hour to beat 1 boss, which is pretty good) - bad multiplayer online (lot of disconnect, no chat, too basic) - cant play with a friend on the same keyboard - bad readability (ice maps, and your character exact position) - some abusable items (glove-remote combo) I recommend you to download SNes Emulator + Super Bomberman 5 + probably the best bomberman campaign ever + awesome multiplayer, up to 5 PLAYERS ON THE SAME KEYBOARD ! + awesome…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look honestly considering that game was make in 2014 since so i see there are not updates anymores for game, if you want to buy just for play story mode/singleplay then it is right to you and i high recommend it but first please read my review and my points to you know if game really worth or no.... in First place the game is pretty cool but really extremely very hard and challenger that makes you angry sometimes, sadly there is no option for changing the difficulty in-game, on which it should…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure how this is legal but it's certainly legit. Awsome clone of a classic game, epic soundtrack, have a blast!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bomberman clone to the bones, which is great news for me as i really love Bomberman games since i was a child. this game has the exact same gameplay, from the commentary when collecting power-ups to the stage hazards and even the power-ups are the same from the bomberman games. (1-5 players can play locally) and in case you don't know what Bomberman is. the game main objective is to kill your enemies with the blast from your bomb. the camera is as you see from the screenshots is top-down…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Genre - Puzzle/Action Blow 'em up This is not Bomberman, but it plays like Bomberman and an ancient game called Penguin Towers on the C64 (Google it), You have standard battle modes, where you blow up the other players. There is also a single player adventure mode, where you blow up tricky monsters and bosses, which actually seems quite fun. There are various power ups to collect like the throwing glove etc. My favourite version of Bomberman was on the Sega Saturn and this isn't as good as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(+) Love the concept of playing the old Bomberman (+) Use my controller to play (+) Soundtrack = addictive :) (-) Multiplayer/wan/lan "Which is the BIGGEST drawback". (Why??) I have bought this game for 3 other guys in our group, with the intention to play ONLINE.(multiplayer). Since the start we haven't been able to play either LAN/WAN. Latest update (should solve alot of issues). Still no joy. Been giving this game quite the time and chances to improve through some updates. Buy now ? NO.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfairly difficult (single player). I have no idea what the devs were thinking. I cannot even finish the 2nd world. Each NPC in the map will "play" like the most tactical p*ssy ever. The biggest design problem is that enemies literally STOP and basically camp and hide behind the cover. It's extremely difficult to kill them even if you have multiple remote-detonating bombs. Now THAT is messed up. They actively going around to get you and the power up too. It's like playing with 8 really good…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are you a fan of Bomberman ? Then you will probably like this game as well ! You don't know Bomberman ? Then you have to try Bombing Bastards if you are a fan of arcade games ! Warning : it can get pretty hard, especially against the bosses if you don't have a very good dexterity, and as there are no difficulty choice, prepare yourself to die several times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is similar to Bomber Man If u miss the Bomber Man game, then this one will be a good replacement + Funny + Easy to play + Graphic / Sound not bad - Time so tight if u wants to get 3 stars in every stage - Hard difficulty against bosses 70 / 100
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**Updated review! Had some initial control problems and wrote a review based on that - the developer added me as a friend on Steam and quickly solved the problem! I'm really impressed! Now that the problem is solved, I can easily say - AWESOME GAME!! If you grew up with Bomberman (or Dynablaster) like I did, then you will absolutely love this game. All the same frantic multiplayer you know and love, with a solid campaign too. Polished off with sweet artwork and some cool extras! Highly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Miss Bomberman? Get this game! This is a simple, well done tribute to the classic bomberman games. The 'story' mode in this game is challenging to say the least, enemies can avoid bombs, shoot you and break blocks to name a few. There are also environmental hazards to deal with to make things interesting. Both normal levels and bosses have had me rage quit because of how difficult it can be (I'm also terrible so it's not down to bad game design) but I was soon opening the game back up to try…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy_adPPCEWA This game is Bomberman. Literally. If I had to judge this game on a scale of 1 to Bomberman, it would 10/Bomberman. It's Bomberman. Multiplayer was wonky for me. Also the first boss is hard as hell.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bombing Bastards is a pretty funny game. It definitely shines in the multiplayer department, but the solo play is decent as well, albeit pretty hard and sometimes frustrating. The game reminds me a lot of the good old bomberman, that I used to play good 20 years ago. You drop bombs left and right, and try to demolish all other creatures on screen, while trying not to blow yourself up - easier said than done! You place the bomb exactly where you stand, so it's pretty easy to trap yourself. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An up-to-date 'Bomberman' style clone with its own unique mechanics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9l0bckLsEA Help the witty Dr. Wallow get rid of all the critters and become the ruler of the galaxy. - Recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the game doesn't re-invent the wheel. It offers a solid experience that will make fans of a similar game, very happy. I just wish that the Online mode worked. As I feel that is where the heart and soul of this title lies. Playing it with friends. I made a video review to show off some of the features and gameplay of this game! http://youtu.be/mD5_ENLOIoM I hope you enjoy! Martyr
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow! My first game on Steam and what a pleasant surprise! From the music to gameplay, everything's top. Sorry for the short review, Got to go back finish that level! Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much fun as Bomberman, just don't expect walk in the park. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=352757802
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun as ♥♥♥♥, but so many bugs. When the game ends you have to ALT-F4 and restart. Menu options are bad. Tobad since the issues would be really easy to fix.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game makes Bomberman look like childsplay.... It's so challenging. Never fails to bring a smile on my face. I'd recommend it for any Bomberman fan.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All right. Lets get the big thing out of the way. This game blatantly copies the Bomberman series. Like REALLY blatantly. Even the icon designs look like they were taken directly from the titles. As such, you'll be seeing a lot of comparisons between this game and that series in this review. The game is rather challenging and will be quick to ramp up the challenge from level to level, even early on. Unlike some games which will give you a small taste of a new trap or enemy before throwing them…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great fun! It's a complete Bomberman rip-off, but it's done so good that it doesn't even matter! Play with friends. You won't regret it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is an O.k. game. It is basically an snes bomberman.. say bomberman 4. At the time of this writing not sure if online play is working properly and as for as local goes there are only 5 map types. It does add certain features for each round like teleport or direction arrows that the bombs will travel in. I recommend it for the local co-op as the online has lag issues/disconnects and tons of people had issues connecting to others. I didnt have problems creating my own server and getting my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Fun Classic... Knock Off Of BomberMan!!! A Must Own
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Online doesn't work
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer does not work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Welcome back Bomberman or at least it resembles it. Yes this is a very close copy to the game. I have only played for 47 minutes and can't wait to see what other nasties i'll run into. Future add on to review if the game gets more challenging but hey they can only get faster.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →About 6 months ago I asked if this games is as good as Atomic Bomberman. It is NOT! I recently bought the game and after playing for a short while my conclusion is that it is sorely lacking in gameplay. If the devs want some good ideas then they should check out Atomic Bomberman + Single Play & bosses + Nice Graphics + Custom Keys - Detonation time too long - Glove should be an option. Not overiding the default placing of bombs (hold to throw) - Virtual AI bombermen would be a more fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It may not be a perfect bomberman clone but it is the best you will find on steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exhilorating and Knackering, and just good fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bombing Bastards is the modern arcade bombing game that we all needed. If you miss the online competition of Bomberman Blast and Bomberman Live, this game will make you happy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the game! An old school game with updated graphics and sound. Multiplatform. My favorite game on linux so far. Xbox 360 wireless controllers work out of the box (multi player as wel) using the xpad kernel driver.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally a bomberman clone for the PC I have been waiting over 10 years after Atomic Bomberman which was multiplayer only. This is a fine upgrade, It doesn't try anything radical new but there is no need to the old concept still works fine. Campaign mode is actually quiet hard and you really have to grind your teeth in this one. On the other hand skirmish AI is pretty dump though. Mostly kills itself pretty quickly. For the price definitely a worth buy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing and i'm happy i got it. I do wish there was some sort of random online play though, maybe even with ranking, or unlocking skins, a function like that would make this game huge because there's skill involved. VERY easy to get into, very hard to master. Not to mention frantic fun! That said, the online play is old school, have to set up server etc, too much of a hassle nowadays. A quick "online play" function would rock!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is Bomber Man, but NOT Bomber Man So f**king laughed XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8RpR7ZjAo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's exactly what you think it is, except not with the same title, if it is illegal then it's amazing, if it's legal, it could be cheaper but it doesn't remove the pc edge of brilliant games. buy it, enjoy it, and imbellish every bomberm*n moment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Great Clone of Bomberman... Very well done, I am having alot of fun with this game. Only problem I found was the first player is controlled using the keyboard which is less than ideal... but I found a workaround to fix the problem so you can play the 1 player mode with a controller... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73xwBYZ7L7M
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game may not be as fast and frantic as Bomberman but its enemies are much tougher! The first boss took me quite a while to beat, and I'm not even at the second boss yet... Aside from this, it's what you would expect: not an innovative game, but one that replicates a proven mechanics and does it well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY. This is my first negative review on a game. There are problems with the game. Can't even play online with friends. Bought this two years ago for myself and friends and only managed to play it twice before it "broke down". We gave it a few weeks thinking something is up with the servers but to sadness, nothing has changed. Every few months I checked again in hopes as I have such great memories from playing Bomberman on NintendoDS with friends when I was younger. Developer has not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game will not close properly. it hangs and locked up my entire PC. I guess it is a serviceable bomberman clone with functional net play but I take the function of games closing for granted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a Bomberman clone. It has cheap foe AI and the boss battles are nothing less than infuriatingly frustrating, even the first one. Controls are problematic, often the robot gets stuck. Verdict: Play the original Bomberman or get this one on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little Dyna Blaster / Bomberman remake. If you like those old bomber games you won't disapoint in this. Player rename and more robot skin would be nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game doesn't work. Online multiplayer just hangs when you try to start a game. There is a long thread here - the thread title says its fixed but it isn't. https://steamcommunity.com/app/314220/discussions/0/617321352399084413/ Avoid!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aggravating and unresponsive controls, just go play an emulated version of the game this is ripping off, you;ll be much happier.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely not worth a buy!! The balance in game are completely messed up (which they refuse to accept) and if im not right then why is there only 1 player in last 30 days? http://steamcharts.com/search/?q=Bombing+Bastards 1 hardcore fanboy and nothing else that is what we see! with 20+ years of gaming behind my back i feel they have ruined this game, and not 1 single new thing has they added so there is nothing new except from the messed up game balance we havent seen before.. ps. if you see…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun bomberman game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want to play this game online with or against one another you can do this with this tool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIxxZzcdMTg This is jutst one example. There are ore programs like this available who can acomplish this. Like "Hamachi", "P2PVPN" or "DynVPN". And so on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like Bomberman, you'll love this too :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All in all, this is not a good Bomberman clone. The online play is no longer available, the soundtrack is all remixed versions of songs that are very old and probably in the public domain and don't feel like they belong in the game at all, the voiceovers are terrible and sound like they were recorded in an empty racquetball court, even the one player battle mode is no fun cos the computer opponents just vibrate in place until they have a reason to move, making it way too easy to just hunt them…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Co Op not local online Server not available
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it so i could play it online and online gaming isn't working so it sucks a lot, single player and local still can be good... dont know...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very weak bomberman clone, bad fps rate and without any special items or powerups
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like a real challenge this game might be just for you If you like fair gameplay and being able to make a mistake, then this game is not for you A few reasons: The bad guys don't walk in random patterns, instead if there is a way to get to you, they will hunt you down Also they are great at avoiding bombs, even when bombs are not even close to them, they know about it How further you get the harder it gets, with spitting mobs, pits, snow storms that slow you down (only you not the mobs)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing innovative just a poor bomberman clone which made me just appreciate the original more. I knew exactly what i was buying i didnt expect amazing, but it still disappointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many parts of this game are fun, and it's passable as long as you get this game on the cheap. The worst part of this game is that it's clear that the levels are horribly designed. The pathways are randomly generated, along with the powerups. So if you start a level and die, you'll restart it with a randomly generated map. That in and of itself is not the bad part of this game. It's that many of the maps generated are so hard that superhuman timing and luck would be needed to be able to clear…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Being in the top 5% of players according to Steam's achievements, I feel qualified to say: The negative reception to this game is wholly unearned. IT controls fluidly, it looks good, the remixes of Nutcracker songs are appropriate for the twisted narrative. And, yeah, it's hard. So what? It's never unfair. Unlike regular Bomberman games, you have to actually trap your enemies here to ensure they die. I kinda miss when games were genuinely challenging like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved bomberman, playing this game on my Steam Link just wasn't fun enough. The gameplay was somewhat bland, and the controls didn't feel responsive enough. I do like the mechanism that allows a dead player to win in multiplayer or take revenge.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really didn't like this Bomberman clone. The vocal queues are grating. It is hard to tell what your bombing range is. The music isn't very compelling - Midi version of The Nutcracker? Really? Overall, I think that Brawl is a much better game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good fun overall. worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like especially the idea of having boss battles and some sense of progression. I would had liked that to be also in multiplayer. However, after you play a little you start to see behind it. It is just a badly made clone of the bomberman game. I would had prefered the squares graphics from bomberman than this new graphics which is quite clumsy. There are often situations where you don't realize if you are correctly placed, you might be 1px to the right and that's the end of it. Game effects…
