Bomber Dudes

Scuff Bomberman for poor gaymers.

⠀

Bomber Dudes is an Early Access ripoff of Bomberman, but with less quality and less gameplay. Like the Bomberman game this is unabashedly ripping off, gameplay consists of moving around a level grid and dropping bombs next to crates and other opportune positions to blow up the crates and enemies, while trying to avoid the baddies and your own bombs. While the game is still being updated, it's firmly in development hell with no sign of any release, having exploded past the planned release date by at least 6 months. The game is currently free, and while that would be noble, the developer has indicated an intention to charge for their ripoff of Bomberman, presumably hoping feverently that Konami don't sue, because IP theft is bad. There's a multiplayer mode but this is understandably dead because nobody wants to play an unfinished, buggy ripoff of someone else's game. On technical merits, the badly done low poly 2.5D environment is a bit of an eyesore (but it's not retro pixel). There's no graphics tweaks and controls are locked and can't be changed, which puts this far below acceptable quality for a video game in the modern era. Given the slim chances this will ever be finished, the very poor quality of the game, the fact it's a ripoff of someone else's game, and the intention to charge for it later, it's impossible to recommend this.
