DS:
Brawl, from developer Bloober Team is an arcade party game in the tradition of Bomberman. Two or more players run around the map dropping bombs, using their character’s unique skills in an attempt to trick another player into running into the ensuing explosions. It’s fast and simple, making it perfect for couch based competitive play. The other modes, however, are a little more hit or miss.
If you're interested in a horror Bomber-man with awful movement and uninspired arenas then this might be for you but if you are looking to scratch the bomber-man itch, I'd say go for the switch's Super Bomber-man R.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "If you remove the unnecessarily edgy and (im)mature setting, there's very little that differs Brawl from any other Bomberman game released over the last decades."
Chalgyr's Game Room writes:
Bomberman has seen its up and downs over the years, but the overall formula is still a popular one with a lot of players. Brawl seeks to capitalize on a lot of the same gameplay elements while adding a horror aesthetic. All in all, it is a competently made game, but not one that does enough to make it a more compelling play than the games that clearly inspired it.
