    I love the way of playing this game... 8 players in the same console, its not boring, but i dont like the price... it should be 35$, and when you play a lot of time, its so bored

    This is an excellent game, the campaign is awesome and you can play it with a friend alongside with you, very difficult and challenging to play it together, hours of fun online and some customization for your characters. If you like Bomberman you must have this one also. Please enjoy all video games.

    I definitely wouldn't say this game was worth the 50 dollar price tag, but overall I have had plenty of fun with the title.

While the online play is not the best, with some lag and a problematic pairing system as others have mentioned, I felt that the single player and the local multiplayer was pretty solid with it being quite easy to pass a joycon to a friend or family member and just have a quick match. In general, the gameplay is a pretty standard Bomberman experience and while there are definitely better entries in the franchise out there, for those perhaps new to the series or just looking to have another multiplayer game for the Switch, this game is well-suited for that. Also, some mechanical issues have been fixed, such as the framerate. Hopefully, Konami will make a bigger and better sequel in the future if they feel this game has rekindled interest in the franchise. If you can get this game for around the 20 or 30 dollar price range, I'd say it's worth it to just have another game to play at parties or when you have friends over. I give it an 8/10 just because I can't give it something like a 7.6… Expand

    El juego regresa a sus raíces, muy entretenido y con un componente cooperativo muy interesante.
    Conforme ha pasado el tiempo ha recibido algunas actualizaciones que han mejorado notablemente la experiencia.

    Fantastic Multiplayer, 100% recommend. If you own a switch this is a must have multiplayer game. Konami should keep making games like this. I don't remember the last time I had this much fun playing with family and friends, but this game sure made me have tons of fun.

    el mejor juego de bomberman que ha salido. simplemente me encanto, no tiene mucho contenido en modo multijugador mas que los mapas especiales y los sombreros pero dado que konami esta actualizando el juego e incluyendole nuevas cosas la experiencia de juego va mejorando cada dia mas. solo espero que salgan las mascotas :)

    This is an amazing game and tons of fun with friends. Great launch title for the Switch and great to have Bomberman back! Some of the negative reviews are around price. If you buy through Best Buy with their GCU discount of 20%, you can get this for $40 vs. $50. This makes the game worth it. Although its very good, don't pay $50.

    This game is along the lines of what I was hoping for in a Bomberman game. I am not terribly familiar with the franchise but there is no denying this one does it justice. On playing in the middle difficulty, the game is quite a challenge. Some might even have their work cut out for them in easy mode! The graphics are nice, i have no idea how people expect a sweeter package than this. TheThis game is along the lines of what I was hoping for in a Bomberman game.

Some might even have their work cut out for them in easy mode! The graphics are nice, i have no idea how people expect a sweeter package than this. The online mode is a bit funny placing you in the "baby league", you would have to play this game for hours on end just to be good enough to get out of the starting class, which might be what the game was intended for.. something you can sink hours into. Its hard! I put some time into it but as I mentioned before, I'm no Bomberman pro. I'm currently investing my time in another Switch title many are familiar with, but I intend on spending a great deal of hours getting good in this one! Can be good for a party game for sure, although 50 dollars is a bit steep for something to play so casually. Jumping into online mode and playing free battle is quite fun. Music is great. With 50 levels and an online league and updates in the future, its titles like this that keep me paying attention to video games… Expand

    Es un juego muy muy entretenido y puedes pillar un buen vicio de 3 jugadores en adelante, ya que puede jugar hasta 8 jugados con una misma consola, tiene un modo online que si encuentras 3 personas para jugar tambien te puedes entretener mucho, lo malo es que normalmente online encuentras 2 o 3 personas. Cualquiera que alla conocido los primeros bomberman le sacara mucho provecho a este juego

    This has 50 well crafted levels which are puzzles, boss battles, and 8 player multiplayer!

    The levels are fun and getting all your buddies together is something many other games Don't do.

    The hate train rolling over this bc the ISO perspective and gamers treating this style like its less deserving of a retail release.

    Another great Bomberman game to add to the collection. This one supports up to 8 players. So far i have only played with 2 players and it was fun yet somewhat challenging. Boss fights are awesome when playing story mode with friends. The only downside is the price, maybe £10 cheaper would of been a better selling point.

    As someone who long lost interest in the Bomberman series and wasn't putting any faith at all in this game, I was pleasantly surprised. Good characters, good humour, good gameplay, all things that I never expected to see again from a ip owned by Konami, seing their recent distancing from games as a whole. It's a good experience if you like Bomberman games.

I would recommend using a d-pad or the directional buttons on the left joy-con, as the analog stick controls get a bit confusing. The story changes things up just enough, and the cut scenes are gorgeous, while the voice work is crisp, clean, vibrant, and funny. For a game that had a few shortcomings upon release, Konami has been steadily releasing FREE content for the game every few months, and it always comes as a pleasant surprise.

    I hope this is the start of some great Konami support for both Bomberman, and the Switch. :)    … Expand

    Un juego divertido y entretenido para jugar en grupo. El modo versus permite partidas de 2 a 8 jugadores, es sencillo hacerse con el control e ideal para partidas rápidas.

    El modo historia también está bastante bien y se puede jugar en cooperativo.

    Le he puesto un diez para compensar la nota media tan baja que tiene actualmente y que no refleja en absoluto la calidad del título.

    Not sure why so many critics have rated this game so low as I think the game looks and plays good, it will certainly be fun at Christmas parties! Yeah, there's not much involved in dropping bombs next to other players but it still seems fun without being frustrating or boring like some multi-player games. Recommended.
