The story mode has its own campaign and is infinitely more fun when you're paired with a friend. When you begin, your can drop a single bomb with a very small blast radius but as you destroy more objects you find power-ups that increase the number of bombs you can drop, how large their explosions are and even items which grant you new abilities, such as the power to kick a bomb to cause it to slide down an aisle, or to pick up and throw a bomb over obstacles. Bombs explode in a cross-shaped pattern demolishing any destructible objects and enemies caught in the blast - as well as your character, if you're not careful. The single-player mode drops your Bomberman onto a grid littered with obstacles and enemies, with your goal being to blow it all up and unlock the exit.

If you haven't yet played a Bomberman game, don't worry - they're very straightforward. In that sense, Super Bomberman R is a perfect foil for Breath of the Wild's spacious open world its small, grid-based combat is as enjoyable now as it was many years ago on the SNES - which is great, considering that the game it's most like is the 16-bit classic Super Bomberman. If you've never before played a Bomberman title before - and let's be honest, the explosive hero has been out of the game for a while - then you're in for quite a treat.īomberman games, are, by definition, very focused experiences. If you're picking up another game with your console however, we strongly suggest you consider Super Bomberman R. When most people pick up their Switch, they'll likely be grabbing a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild along with it.
