The unforgiving difficulty of Bombslinger can almost feel as punishing as a Dark Souls title at times and may turn some players off, but any veteran of that series and rogue-like genres will absolutely fall in love with Bombslinger. The grind-y arcade style of the gameplay combined with its nostalgic art-style, unique game design and personality make for a nice Indie gem. Each run felt fresh and the grind to customize my load-outs for future runs made this game an absolute blast to come back to, especially for quick bursts on the go. Review: Bombslinger (Nintendo Switch) The unforgiving difficulty of Bombslinger can almost feel as punishing as a Dark Souls title at times and may turn some players off, but any veteran of that series and rogue-like genres will absolutely fall in love with Bombslinger.

With the combination of the easy-to-learn upgrade system, charming aesthetic, and simple tried and true gameplay, Bombslinger completely hooked me in every way. When I started it up for the first time, I had no idea that this seemingly simple Bomberman-like game would have such well implemented depth and addicting gameplay to keep me coming back for more. The whole setup allows every player to adjust the game to their own play style, and while at first it can seem very punishing, the upgrade system and newly learned strategies beckon for “just one more playthrough.” On top of that, the frantic multiplayer mode included is a great bonus for a quick session with friends, not to mention being a perfect game to play on the go.

Bombslinger is fun... a lot fun! Moreover, it is pretty cheap and available on Steam, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. If you like pixel-art games with detailed and beautiful visuals and want to have some nostalgia along with new features, this game is a must. Especially if you enjoy casual games which offer fun gameplay and which you can play every day for an hour or two and have tons of fun. You will not regret buying this game.

Bombslinger is an updated take on a classic genre. The game's strengths come from the way it combines the arcade feel of its action with the brutal approach of the rogue-like genre. It's a simple game, but one that offers inventiveness and swathes of charm that should keep players sticking around for a long time after the credits roll. Bombslinger (Reviewed on Nintendo Switch) This game is great, with minimal or no negatives. Bombslinger is an updated take on a classic genre.
