The gameplay of the game is a mix of classic Bomberman mechanics and modern multiplayer elements, which some players find enjoyable and nostalgic. However, many users criticize the lack of variety and depth, leading to a repetitive experience, especially when playing against bots. While the design and animation are praised, issues like bugs, control problems, and an easy learning curve detract from the overall experience.
- “Also in my top 10 for best game mechanics and it has one of the best gaming storylines which other gaming franchises just don't have the capability to compete with Bomb Bots Arena.”
- “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.”
- “- Easy game mechanics, flat learning curve.”

monetization

The monetization model is heavily criticized for its Overwatch-style approach, featuring loot boxes that yield minimal currency, leading to a frustratingly slow progression for premium items. While all in-game purchases are purely cosmetic, the presence of microtransactions and time-gated content is seen as typical for a free-to-play game, but still detracts from overall engagement.
- “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.”
- “Any in-game purchases are totally purely cosmetic in nature.”

The story of Bomb Bots Arena is highly praised, often regarded as one of the best in gaming, setting it apart from competitors. However, players express disappointment over the lack of a single-player campaign or story mode, which limits enjoyment when playing with 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.”
