I have been looking for an android game that
is similar to the game I used to play in my old Nokia phone the 'Explode Arena'
and this game is just what I'm looking for. Bomber Friends by Hyperkani
is a game intended for those android gamers who enjoys playing with multiple
players. The game features a classic bomber game with an immensely hectic
and fun online multiplayer option. Blowing up bricks and
enemies in various mazes is the main rule of this game just
like 'Explode Arena' and the classic 'Bomberman' game that we all love.
This game features powerups that lets players get
more powerful bombs to blast enemies from across the map and in order to win
the match you have to be the last one to survive. But even if you get blasted,
dead bombers can still haunt the living players and make their play harder with
curses as you pass along your enemies.
The game also allows users to customize their own
avatar. The recent update made by Hyperkani allows users to change the avatar’s
face, hairstyle, hair color, hats, taunts and even greetings. However, it would've
been better if they'll also let users change the avatar's costumes.
The cartoony graphics of this game look
like something that could be produced on any of the 16 bit machines a couple of
years ago, but the graphics have never been the driving force of a
classic game like this.
This game provides
an excellent example of fun and thrill. The online multiplayer is a blast, and
Hyperkani clearly concentrated a lot of their resources into crafting it. They
did a lot of decent updates prior to the players requests. However,
the training mode was also an enjoyable experience and the AI's are just as
good as I expected.
What are the drawbacks of this game? For
one, there aren't enough maps and mode levels. The ghosts are a little bit
overpowered and I think they shouldn't include them because it's annoying.
The developers should have added more powerups and the ability
to move bombs and push them through blocks. The game also needs better control and the ads got quite intrusive after the most recent update. One thing
that I'm also concern about is the duration of the play. A single play is
covered for only 2 minutes and it should not restart the game when someone
leaves.The game should have a fixed length when playing with friends.
Syncing and connectivity with other players and friends has also
become a huge issue too. It would say I am disconnected when accepting an invite
even though I have perfect Wi-Fi reception. Overall this game provides an entertainment package that surpasses other android multiplayer games.
T h e V e r d i c t :
A good multiplayer game that plays really well on the phone.
