Gun Bombers Reviews

The game is not working right. You can't play multiplayer, even if your friend sends you IP adress to connect - YOU CAN'T DO IT.

Great multiplayer either co-op teams or total versus mode! I've had so much laughter with this game when played against my friends! Definitely worth the buy!

LOVE this game, worthy remake of my old favorite! One question though: is it possible to host a LAN game and add bots as enemies? Just like in old Mine Bombers. thx

Great game! This game brings back memories of the good old minebombers game. A must buy for everyone who likes minebombers. And also for those who are not familiar with minebombers, you really should check that or this game out. Amazingly fun especially with friends 5/5

A sensible gameplay upgrade from Mine Bombers (MB), which itself was something akin to Bomberman with treasure mining. MB itself wasn't just about bombs as it already had a flame thrower and a grenade launcher. The two guns and bombs inventory tabs takes some getting used to as you have to switch the active tab. In the end you are better off using quick slots, something that was badly needed in MB. Gun Bombers improves the gameplay with more powerups and inclusion of toxic gas, water and lava rivers. Even with a single player survival mode it is still heavily focussed on multiplayer though. So be sure to bring a friend. The only other way is to join the official Discord server.

Holy crap get this game to play with your friends. I'll write a better review soon. [h1]The Better Review[/h1] (WIP) I grew up playing games like this on SEGA, and they've always been a hell of a lot of fun with friends. Anything that brings that loungeroom fun back, and does it with online multiplayer gets my vote instantly. Ultimately, my best comparison from my childhood would have to be Liero, that real-time worms game that ran on DOS. Easily played at school because it would fit on a single floppy disk. I can't believe I just typed that, I haven't mentioned floppies in so, so long. Gun Bombers is actually faster paced than I realised; my first game, I ran into the other player with a pistol and clicked my mouse to fire; shoot..... shoot... .. shoot, shoot shoot. The realisation that it plays more like Soldat or Crimsonland than .. Something much slower, was surprising to me, I don't know why. I guess I looked at it and expected bomberman, a game of timing and strategy, when in fact it's an action game. I only mention this in case some of you haven't realised this, as I hadn't. In a nutshell, you have multiple rounds where you have to divide your time between trying to kill the other players and mining for minerals to gain currency to be spent buying weapons before the next round. Surprisingly similar to Counter-Strike if it also had random piles of cash around the map which you could go for prior to planting the bomb. Honestly, there's not too much I can say about the game. It plays great and feels very solid. I guess there are a few things about it that I'd like to see improved: • The UI is based on its spiritual precursor, a SNES(?) game, so there's of room for improvement there. Weapon selection included. • The digging mechanic; having to aim in the direction you want to dig was annoying at first, but became second nature after a few matches. I still find myself accidently digging while running toward or away from someone, would be nice to have to confirm an intent to dig, a key or something. • Mines and claymores are not visible to enemies and can be placed without any real warning to other players. They slow the pace of the game due to their lethality. My friends and I always have these disabled. • Zoom. I love the zoom feature, but feel I am disadvantaged when using it, so it is rather redundant. If larger maps were ever going to be a thing, I'd like to see everyone forced to the same zoom level, not necessarily being able to view the entire map at once. To be completed.

Remember Mine bombers? remember how much fun it was? Ever wonder why nobody has ever made a game like it in over a decade against all odds? Well now that long wait is finally over. Gun bombers is a unique combination of bomber man, minecraft and some kind of top down shootery thing. You mine out rocks and sand, find gems, explore them map, conspire to kill your enemies with bombs, mines, guns etc and between rounds you use all the money you aquired to buy all manner of weird weapons including room filling polyethalene barrels to cricket bombs (that home towards enemies in line of sight and explode with every jump). No two matches are the same and its very satisfying to get a guy right in the path of your rocket turret. Despite being complete, it is still having things added to it (as of this review)(, hello people of the distant future, did we win world war three or are we all speaking martian now?)). There are also all kinds of fun bonuses across the map like maps, incremental upgrades to your pick and weird stuff like scuba gear. If you or any of your friends enjoyed Mine Bombers in the past, and would love to see a modern revitilisation, this game will probably fit the bill. Charge the elevator!

Pretty slow and boring, then suddenly overwhelming. With more players it might feel like more fun in the beginning and more tractable later on, but you'll need to rely on your friends for this because no one is ever online publicly. Slow and Boring ----------------- The player character feels like an inconsequential little mote in a map that is inevitably going to destroy him, and that's not a very fun experience. I can think of a few things that contribute to this feeling: - Many pitiful weapons. Some of the weapons and buffs do add some player agency, but it takes a while to get them. Some are so buggy that I feel robbed when I finally do invest in them (EX: claymore). - The player character is very slow moving, so it takes forever to traverse a relatively small map. - His pickaxe is painfully slow, so it just feels like a dumb slog during the initial phase, especially considering the player's movement speed. Few Players ------------ Every game mode felt insanely empty or just plain impossible with only a two or three players. It would be nice if there were other game modes (or variations of the existing ones) that were better designed for few players. There just aren't enough people that know about this game to make public online play any fun when the game modes all ache for a ton of players.

Nice game reminding me of the good old days. If you liked Mine Bombers back in the day you should not be dissapointed. Some quick thoughts: Pros: Guns feel pretty balanced compared to each other. Choosing your primary and secondary weapons works well with fast weapon menus once you get the hang of it. Things to improve: Molotov feels too overpowered. When you are fighting in tight spaces all the guns can do nothing against one molotov. The end screen should be something more than just the points, something to tell more clearly who was the winner and why. Also chat should be visible in the end screen. You should also be able to choose any number of rounds, not just 2,4,6... and so on. Option to play with fully visible map would also be nice.

This is a fantastic throwback to the original Mine Bombers. Got a copy for myself, my brother and one of my freinds, convinced a few more to get it and had an awesome time playing. I don't generally write reviews but this game deserves it. I highly anticipate what features come out for it in the future as it is early access. This gets a huge reccomend from me, get it, grow the community I want to blow of more people. downsides You will have to forward ports 55555 in order to host. it does not get along with certain antivirus programs for some dumb reason.
