The Legend of Bum-Bo

You can strait up lose your entire save file randomly, which isn't saved on the cloud correctly so manual save file backups are required (otherwise you're screwed). Not to mention the game practically requires a 3rd party mod for the achievements to work for many players. The game itself would be more then recommendable without these issues that have completely ruined my experience.

Рішення поєднати жанр, який заснований на маніпулюванні плодами удачі, та жанр, який заснований на маніпулюванні плодами удачі — кількість марно витраченого часу збільшується квадратично. Макміллен вміє придумувати ефективні вбивалки часу, але якщо ви шукаєте ігри, що поважають ваш час і інтелект — проходьте повз. Я знав, що це роуглайк — просто любив гру значно більше, якби вона була не сесіонкою.

So, like, I haven't really written a review before, but I felt trying to do so. Anyways, The Legend of Bum-Bo is a game that caught my attention as I am an avid fan of The Binding Of Isaac, so a few years ago I decided to give it a shot. Honestly, playing it on and off a few times the past years, the game is actually pretty fun. Gameplay has a good bit to offer, there are a decent amount of items & trinkets, a good few characters. I like the game. However, as to why this is a negative review, is because the game is incredibly buggy and I can't seem to find an answer as to why. A few examples are how the game can sometimes softlock you whenever you are picking an item after completing a room, if you were to pause or start looking at your current items, it would sometimes just softlock you and none of the buttons would work. This isn't the main issue, as it happened to me only around 3 times. The biggest problem is regarding the unlocks, as I have completed the game around 10 times, 2 times with multiple characters + 3 times as one of them (I was headed for the 45+ coin achievement), but the only achievements I got were the "beat the game with X character X amount of times". I looked at my remaining achievements and noticed I hadn't gotten the so-called "jackpot endings", and after looking at footage of what they are supposed to look like and comparing them to my own, I just don't get the achievements or unlocks for some reason. The jackpot ending is supposed to unlock an item when you hit the 3 coins in the slot machine that are in the cutscene, which I clearly see happen, but to no avail. Also, the saving system in this game is utter garbage, I don't know if it works now, but the past 4 years I have uninstalled it and installed it multiple times and there has been a 50/50 chance of my progress being saved and it being reset. In conclusion, this exact problem of the game is what is keeping me from enjoying the game. I am quite a completionist, so the fact that the game is keeping me from advancing further is very annoying. To add, looking at the steam page, it seems the game has been abandoned and doesn't seem that it will be getting an update any time soon. The only hope I have searched for is the "Windfall" mod (+the legend of bumbo hotfix, I didn't bother trying it), adding a new character, a few new items/trinkets, and supposedly fixes the achievement issue, but that only gave me a golden coin (given for completing a run with 45+ coins) for the character I played, but not the steam achievement. I only recommend playing this game if: -the game is on sale -you have infinite money to spend -you install the Windfall mod/the achievement hotfix. The base game doesn't allow you to progress. Don't play it.

Due to a lot..and mean A LOOOOT of bugs I wouldn't recommend getting it at least not in full price. I kinda enjoyed it because I love TBOI:R and its a spin off match 4 so you get the memo.

Edmund. Why are you neglecting me?

It's certainly a slightly unpolished game, but it is still a pretty good time overall. There's a handful of visual bugs and some issues with the achievement popups in game and I think putting the level progression unlocks behind required playable characters is kinda annoying. Why do I have to play as Bumbo the Weird to unlock the final area of the game? Isaac never really hid any level progression behind specific characters, only the item unlocks. Small complaint and bugs aside, the main gameplay loop is surprisingly addictive. Edmund managed to make candy crush into a very fun strategy roguelite. If you liked Mewgenics for its slower paced fights and deck building strategy, maybe give Bumbo a try!

even more restrictive than the root game, where a baby can (originally) only shoot his tears in four cardinal directions. either that or im very bad at connect 4 games. good luck getting the current demographic to play this over their gem games. still good though, just hard, harsh, and surprisingly uninviting. and it all seems luck of the draw and or counting on your acuity. not for many people.

Сама идея и стилистика мне по душе. Прошёл всех персонажей, сохранив 45+ монет, но пока не открывал последнего персонажа. К сожалению, система рандома в получении умений не уместна - дадут выбор из говна, то и умрёшь вскоре. Единственным верным решением является поиск со старта абилок, влияющих на поле. С усложнениями игры тем более противостоять куче врагов никак без способностей для поля. Да и прогресс слабо ощущается: пройти по разу всех героев и всё, стремление играть исчезает. Идее 4 в ряд чего-то не хватило

Bumbo hate spending coin. This time Bumbo may be ok with it.
