- “Visually, the game has a very colorful color palette and a very nice art style.”
- “The graphics are really cute and just fun.”
- “Has unresponsive wibbly-wobbly controls, and childish graphics (most animations look lame at first, and even after 10 minutes they get very repetitive).”
- “The game's graphics are already quite bland (it has the 'mobile look', if you know what I mean), so you don't get fancy looks without spending $$$.”
- “The control feels clunky, not fluid like Bomberman; the color scheme and graphics are unsavory to the eye, and the background music is seriously distasteful and hurtful to listen to for a long time.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the variety and mechanics reminiscent of classic Bomberman games, while others criticize it for feeling stilted and cluttered, particularly in modes with heavy C4 spawns and unclear player positioning. There are concerns about the presence of bots in online play and the overall execution, leading to a perception that the gameplay is not as enjoyable as it could be. Despite the abundance of content, many feel that the gameplay experience is ultimately flawed.
- “Lots of variety to gameplay, like if you combined all the Bomberman games together at once and threw even more stuff in them, but simple enough that it doesn't overload you with too many weapons (just a few too many enemies sometimes).”
- “The gameplay modes are all mostly fun; however, the C4 spawns a bit heavily, making for a mess occasionally.”
- “The gameplay feels a little stilted, but there is a lot of content to get you used to the controls and tactics.”
- “Gameplay feels kind of garbage.”
- “This game nailed all the concepts, but the gameplay is optional and unrecommended.”
- “The gameplay is absolutely beyond comprehension.”

The monetization model of the game has drawn significant criticism, particularly for its reliance on microtransactions, which some players feel are excessive for a €17 title. Many users express frustration over the game's resemblance to a free-to-play mobile game, with loot boxes being the primary purchasable item, detracting from the overall experience.
- “Which, over all the many criticisms this game opens itself up to, may be the most damning, especially for a game that wants to compete in a price range where indie games like Rocket League exist. Never mind that the game also feels as though it is pushing microtransactions harder than Rocket League does.”
- “It's also a €17 game with microtransactions that looks like a mobile free-to-play game.”
- “I would give this game a positive review as I really enjoy it, but every time I try matchmaking, I get paired with a lobby full of bots. Also, microtransactions are an issue as the only thing you can buy is loot boxes.”

The campaign missions are engaging and effectively introduce players to the mechanics through a well-structured narrative. Overall, the storyline enhances the gameplay experience by providing a fun and accessible framework.
- “The campaign missions were quite cool as a concept, getting you into the groove.”
- “With a storyline where it's a game show in which you lay down bombs on a grid map, collect power-ups to upgrade those bombs, and bomb the other contestants until you are the last one standing!”
- “The story mode is easy and walks you through all the tips, tricks, and basics.”
- “The storyline is just a game show where you lay down bombs on a grid map, collect power-ups to upgrade your bombs, and bomb the other contestants until you are the last one standing.”
- “The story mode is too easy and simply walks you through all the tips, tricks, and basics.”

Character development in the game is criticized for its poor character designs, which some reviewers liken to outdated graphics from the Xbox 360 era. While the gameplay mechanics, such as limited-use power-ups, are appreciated, the lack of clarity in multiplayer match outcomes detracts from the overall experience.
- “Another note is that the character designs are so bad, they look like they are from the Xbox 360.”
- “Plays decently, and I like the idea of 'the good' Bomberman power-ups being limited use, but the character designs are hideous and I don't understand why a multiplayer match I played suddenly ended without any warning or sudden death and how the winner was decided (number of kills, I'm guessing? The game didn't say, so hell if I know).”
