Super Bomberman R Online offers your standard online multiplayer space for classic Bomberman battles, with premium perks available but quite a bit of waiting time.

Super Bomberman R Online suffers from some technical and speed issues but is a blast to play online, offering classic Bomberman gameplay with enough pizzaz to keep the battle royale aspect of the title interesting. While there is a pay-to-win aspect to the game, it is not as bad as it could be, offering free players ample opportunity to earn new characters and cosmetic items. Overall, the microtransaction system and Battle Pass feel wholly unnecessary, detracting from the core Bomberman style of play. Still, Super Bomberman R Online offers enough of a classic Bomberman experience for free and should not be passed up by fans of the series.

Super Bomber R Online could have been a wonderful entry in the series. Its 64 players mode is truly a blast... when it all comes together, which never really happens as it suffers very lengthy loading times, frequent bugs and is made to have you buy its Premium Pack in order to not use very powerful special characters.

This game died too quick. It's one of my favorite multiplayer games to grace the Switch. It was free, no NSO required, and I didn't have problems playing matches and winning without paying. (A common problem with free-to-play games) Now, it was missing a story mode, and only had the one mode, so it wasn't a huge game. But for what was there, it was perfect. I'll never forget the first time I won a game. Good times. I hope one day we will see another online bomberman, and if we do, that Konami will get it right.

Yet another victim of the bursting "live service" bubble, Super Bomberman R Online was gone too soon. It's a pity, because this game could be a lot of fun when playing with friends and strangers alike. Sadly, it apparently wasn't profitable, because Konami pulled the plug after less than two years. The good news is they haven't given up on the brand, and another Bomberman game is on the way (as of 2023). Hopefully they get it right this time.

Super Bomberman R Online is a welcome addition to the Switch library, and provides an engaging and lag-free online experience. The core Bomberman gameplay lends itself well to the battle royale format, and the fact that players can enjoy much of what the title has to offer without spending a dime is a nice bonus. Ranks, levels, and grades all provide incentives to shoot for, if you’re so inclined, but the grading for each season isn’t really explained anywhere. Another issue is that there’s no local co-op option; every player needs to have their own game and Switch console. Regardless, any Bomberman fan should be picking this one up. I can readily admit that I fall into that camp, and I’ve been having a blast.

Very nice battle royal sequel in Bomberman series. Lot of characters with diffferent but balanced playstyle. Intense gameplay. I skipped this series for decades but I became a fan of this version after a few battles.

Super Bomberman R Online joins many of its peers as the latest classic franchise to receive a battle royale twist. It’s not entirely successful, with technical issues including freezing during gameplay and awfully long waits to get into matches alongside a battle pass and microtransaction system that just doesn’t fit in with the nature of the game. Underneath all the added padding, however, is the same classic Bomberman gameplay that’s tweaked to fit 64 players, making it an experience that you should, at the very least, download and try out. It’s free Bomberman, after all.

Kinda boring without the story, and the game is a bit confusing without a guide first.
