The gameplay of the game is a mix of classic Bomberman mechanics and modern multiplayer elements, praised for its fun and nostalgic design.

- “Impressive design and animation, the gameplay is exactly like old-style boom games which I adore.”
- “Absolutely classic Bomberman gameplay.”
- “It's a good game concept of taking Bomberman to multiplayer, but sadly because of lack of variety and boring game mechanics it never really encouraged players to stick with it.”
- “Shitty controls, bugs everywhere, and with broken mechanics.”

monetization

The monetization model is heavily criticized for its reliance on loot boxes and premium currency, which makes unlocking items a slow and frustrating process. While all in-game purchases are cosmetic, the presence of microtransactions and time-gated content in this free-to-play title has left players feeling disengaged and disappointed. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative and reminiscent of other poorly received games.
- “Any in-game purchases are totally purely cosmetic in nature.”
- “So there is no engagement; it's also got the Overwatch-style monetization. Sure, there are loot boxes and you can unlock things, but with premium items costing 100 premium currency, you'll be waiting a while as loot boxes drop 1, count it, 1 currency at a time.”
- “Some gimmicky time-gated stuff and microtransactions, but that's expected in a free-to-play title.”
- “A crappy flash game here, a dumb phone game with loads of advertisements there. Konami's not doing anything with the franchise; it's sad.”

However, players express disappointment over the lack of a single-player campaign or story mode, which limits enjoyment when playing against bots instead of real opponents.
- “Also in my top 10 for best game mechanics, it has one of the best gaming storylines that other gaming franchises just can't compete with.”
- “The game is good, but there are too few new players. We can only play with bots, so a few hours spent in this game is fun only with players, not with bots. If it had a story or campaign, then you could play alone or with a friend.”
