More often than not, this was the reason that I perished so you can imagine how irritating it was trying to progress. If you happen to plant a bomb right before a few enemies spawn then you can easily trap yourself between the bomb and a freshly-spawned foe. For example, when fighting a boss, enemies might spawn out of nowhere. Keep in mind, I don't mean that it gets challenging. However, you'll find that only after a handful of stages in, the difficulty becomes quite unfair. If you're looking to play Brawl solo then there's a rather lengthy story mode where you can play through each character's campaign. In other words, Brawl is one unappealing game. Needless to say, the disturbing imagery and unlikeable cast of characters definitely don't give off party vibes. You can play as an evil clown, a blind girl with a teddy bear on her back, a dishevelled puppet, a crash test dummy in a wheelchair, a hooded wrestler, a masked thief, a creepy mime, and an unnerving toymaker. The world is rendered as if it were the set of a B horror movie and the characters all seem like they were ripped from one, too. One thing that separates Brawl from Bomberman (with the exception of the hugely disappointing Bomberman: Act Zero) is that it has an overall dark tone. Overall, the solid gameplay and added abilities make for a promising formula so let's see how it holds up. These may allow you to push bombs, teleport, detonate bombs by the tap of a button, and cause various status ailments to your opponents. In addition to collecting power-ups and planting bombs only to watch them explode shortly after, there are a couple of character-specific abilities that you can use. I'm happy to say that at least Brawl has decent controls and it copies a lot of what makes Bomberman such a fun game to play. Therefore, I'm obviously a bit suspicious whenever new developers try their hand at emulating its distinct gameplay. The cheerful presentation, frantic multiplayer fun, and super-tight gameplay makes it one of my favourite series of all time. If you know me then you're probably well aware that I absolutely adore the Bomberman series. □ It's like Bomberman's PCP-induced fever dream │ Nothing causes more disappointment than hype so at Video Chums, we avoid hyping games prior to playing them for ourselves. Thankfully, Brawl offers a few twists on Bomberman's gameplay dynamic but is it enough to make it stand out? Whenever game developers draw inspiration from the classics, they better at least improve upon the established formulas. Maciejewski playing a Nintendo Switch on January 16, 2018
