When you lose all of your lives, you’re given the option to continue but this will take away a set number of gold coins that can be earned in-game. If you allow your character to touch a blast-line, or indeed if one of the many enemies within touches your character, you’ll lose a life. Structures that cannot be destroyed are typically used to shield your character from the blasts. Most objects on the map can be destroyed using the blast-lines from your bombs, which will always blast vertically and horizontally away from the blast point. Your character will be thrown onto the map and will need to drop limitless bombs to open up new pathways. The aim of the game is as simple as needs be. It also encourages players to blow up nearly everything in sight. This usually amounts to needing to uncover a switch to activate a bridge or blow up a pillar to release a new platform, simple stuff indeed, but it does go on to add a nice layer of depth. Making for a much more interesting affair, the well designed and unique locations each come with environmental puzzles. Perhaps I needed to brush up on my Bomberman skills beforehand. I played the campaign on its easiest difficulty and even then, I found it to be quite challenging. Players are able to select a difficulty tier before jumping in, ensuring that it caters for newcomers and veterans alike. By and large, though, it’s everything that you would expect to see from the series. In between these missions, short cartoon cut-scenes will deliver the plot and introduce new enemies via some cheesy voice acting and poor writing. The story is broken up into several distinct environments that has you fulfilling tasks such as killing all enemies, collecting all keys, activating a number of switches and so on and so forth. Instead, you’ll be making your way through a range of locations as you and the other Bomberman heroes work to defeat the Evil Emperor Buggler. Don’t expect a massively intriguing plot, because that’s not what you’ll get.

Super Bomberman R is the same game that released on the Switch last year, but comes with a few cosmetic exclusives to give it that extra blast, because, well, we all love exclusive cosmetics, right? If you’re picking up this game for the Xbox One, you’ll enjoy Master Chief, whereas if you’re picking this up for the PS4 or Steam, you’ll get Ratchet and Clank and P-body, respectively. Now that Super Bomberman R is finally here, is it worth your time? Don’t get me wrong, they’ve been fun to play for the most part, but Bomberman is Bomberman and there’s just no beating its originality.

The few cheap imitations of Bomberman’s formula, yes, Bombslinger, I’m looking at you, have done very little to live up to the quality of their inspirations. When I learned that Super Bomberman R was coming to Xbox One, I couldn’t quite contain my excitement. Bomberman, now there’s a game that made up quite a chunk of my childhood.
