Take damage twice and you’ll be eliminated for good. If you get hit by something, you’ll lose one of two lives and drop everything you had collected since the start of the match. Once people start collecting power-ups, though, the action quickly escalates and the screen is filled with fiery cross-shaped explosions. Players are spread evenly across the interconnected stages, so you always have a few quiet moments at the start of every match. It’s large enough that you can easily glance across, check if your current stage is safe and, when necessary, decide where to go next. I was particularly impressed by the map overview that’s shown on the left and right-hand side of the screen. It’s an unusual structure for Bomberman, but one that effectively replicates the storm, or ‘circle,’ that slowly traps players in Fortnite, Apex Legends and other traditional battle royale games. Once the movement phase is over, the game will distribute some fresh blocks and power-ups for people to fight over.
The screen flashes red, a 15-second-or-so timer appears on-screen and then, once it’s expired, some of the outermost stages are removed. The game alternates between battle and movement phases where no-one is allowed to drop bombs. The goal is simple: eliminate other players and be the last Bomberman standing. You drop bombs to remove the former, find power-ups and, ultimately, open-up pathways that expose your enemies. Each one is a classic Bomberman maze littered with a mixture of breakable and indestructible blocks. Instead, the sole offering is a 64-player battle royale that takes place over 16 interconnected stages. There’s no campaign like the original Super Bomberman R that was released for Nintendo Switch in 2017 and PC, PS4 and Xbox One the following year. Like Mediatonic’s smash hit, Super Bomberman R Online revolves around a single winner-takes-all multiplayer mode. You can think of it like Google’s version of the Fall Guys giveaway on PlayStation Plus. It’s a needlessly complicated launch strategy that’s obviously designed to incentivize Pro sign-ups.
