The story aspect of the game is criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with one reviewer describing it as "no-story, no-fun" and a "half-baked" experience. However, the game is noted for its engaging missions and challenges, appealing to fans of the classic Bomberman while providing a fresh take on the arcade genre. Overall, the narrative is overshadowed by gameplay mechanics and mission-based progression.
“An interesting game which is inspired by the classic Bomberman, but here instead of levels you have missions and maps to complete. It's a good take for Bomber arcade fans.”
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Easy to play, yet challenging missions keep you coming back for more.”
“Has achievements (all obtained by doing missions) and trading cards.”
