Some bosses might be a tiny tiny bit baloney (AND THE STAGE 6-4 KNIGHTS) without the respawn invuln bomb spam trick, specially if you are on a fresh password reload without any fire powerups...but having that little trick on your sleeve to burn through annoying enemies and bosses if needed is not only really funny to watch but also helps with the run time whenever you happen to die to use it, and overall is something fun to use as the only game that has it. Reminds me of Sonic Adventure and the spam dash lol
That aside, its Bomberman. BUT IT HAS CO-OP, AND I PLAYED THIS THING THE WHOLE WAY IN CO-OP WITH A NEPHEW, AND IT WAS SO FUN.
First time I played it with him was in July 25, 2023, then hadn't played it again until today January 21, 2024 as of writing this and actually completed it. Two sessions and the game is done- short but sweet (had a password to restart from the last time we played).
Bomberman with co-op is such a simple but effective game not only because Bomberman itself is easy to pick up by kids, but also there's so much funny stuff that can happen when both are trying to get one enemy, or even surprises when your little nephew managed to ace that one last enemy remaining on a stage while you somehow ran out of lives. Even if many time its you carrying the stages, but teamwork is what makes it fun, y'know.
We even managed to complete the game, me giving a last stand to the final boss after my nephew died and ending the second phase without dying with the Bomb Punch, right as his dad said it was time to go. Still surreal to think that such perfect timing happened, but I'm glad that it did.
TL;DR: Play this game- alone it should be worth to power-up and survive with it or go ham with the respawn trick, but if you can play this with Co-op, then DEFINITELY do it. With friends, cousins or nephews, it is a blast that's easy to get, and really easy to get some laughs at.
