Coming to Apple Arcade on August 5

Konami and Apple Arcade teamed up for one other recreation, and this one’s received 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 tune.

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

In accordance with Konami, “the bomb placement and explosion sounds change with the songs, and the battle time additionally modifications relying on the tune. When the tune will get thrilling, blocks will drop, and objects could seem whenever you break them with bombs.”

For those who take a fireball to the face, you’ll careen off the display — however you possibly can revive “as many instances as you need so long as the tune is enjoying.”

With that in thoughts, the purpose is much less about staying alive in any respect prices, and extra about outscoring your three bomb-laying opponents. For those who see a Bomberman within the highlight, they’ve received the very best rating, so chase ’em down and blow them up for bonus factors.

There’s unique music from a number of artists

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

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

Superb Bomberman will debut on Friday, August 5, solely for Apple Arcade. With a $5-per-month subscription, you possibly can 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, on the whole, could be an awesome factor — I respect the experimentation. I’m on a break from subscribing, and I’d a lot quite play Bomberman on a console, however for those who’re subbed, this is perhaps value a morbidly curious set up.
