Coming to Apple Arcade on August 5

Konami and Apple Arcade teamed up for an additional recreation, and this one’s obtained a unusual musical twist. Superb Bomberman flips the script on the collection’ acquainted explosion-dodging motion with rating chasing and battlegrounds that change to go well with the track.

As quick as this trailer is, it’s value a glance.

In keeping with Konami, “the bomb placement and explosion sounds change with the songs, and the battle time additionally modifications relying on the track. When the track will get thrilling, blocks will drop, and gadgets might seem once you break them with bombs.”

If you happen to take a fireball to the face, you’ll careen off the display — however you’ll be able to revive “as many instances as you need so long as the track is enjoying.”

With that in thoughts, the objective is much less about staying alive in any respect prices, and extra about outscoring your three bomb-laying opponents. If you happen to see a Bomberman within the highlight, they’ve obtained the best rating, so chase ’em down and blow them up for bonus factors.

There’s authentic music from a number of artists

As for the all-important music, Superb Bomberman will characteristic authentic songs from artists like Rasmus Faber, YMCK, Dizzly, Masahiro “Godspeed” Aoki, and Ai Takekawa.

On the sport’s web site, Konami additionally particulars missions and customization gadgets — badges, frames, expressions, and the like. There’s a badge for battling 1,000 instances. Godspeed.

Superb Bomberman will debut on Friday, August 5, completely for Apple Arcade. With a $5-per-month subscription, you’ll be able to play it on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.

From the admittedly little we’ve seen, it’s no Tetris Impact, however then once more, nothing else is. I believe extra music-infused video games, usually, could be an amazing factor — I recognize the experimentation. I’m on a break from subscribing, and I’d a lot quite play Bomberman on a console, however should you’re subbed, this could be value a morbidly curious set up.
