I tried playing 'Super Bomberman R Online' where you can enjoy an incandescent battle of 64 people at the same time for free



The latest 'Super Bomberman R Online ' from the classic party game 'Bomberman' series has been released on May 27, 2021 (Thursday). The feature is online battle of 64 people at the same time. I actually became one of 64 people and tried to aim for the top.

This time I will download the Windows version on Steam. Open the page and click 'Play Game'. If you don't have the Steam client installed, you'll also need to install the Steam client.



After the installation is complete, start the game. 'Language / Regional Settings' will be displayed at the first startup. The default language should be 'Japanese', so you don't have to mess with it. Use the cursor keys to focus on 'Enter' and press the Spacebar. Since the Enter key is often used to make decisions on a PC, it may be confusing for a moment.



Then 'Regional setting'. Since it should be in Japan, press the Space key with 'OK'.



Since it supports the auto save function, a note that you should not end the game when 'Saving' is displayed at the bottom right. Close with the Space key.



terms of use. Select 'Agree'.



Notice of the start of the new season. From May 27, 2021 to August 25, 2021 at 10:00, it is 'Bomber Pass Season 1'. Close with the Space key.



◆ Tutorial
Tutorials are available for first-time players. There is no problem if you skip it, but this time select 'Yes'.



It will teach you from basic actions such as 'moving characters' and 'putting bombs'. The task is displayed in the upper right, and when you clear it, the star will be colored and you will proceed to the next task.



In Super Bomberman R Online, each character has two lives, so you'll need to hit them twice to knock out.



Also, after a certain period of time, it will be in the 'movement phase'. Displayed on both sides of the screen is a map divided into all 16 areas, and one of the areas has fought so far. In the 'Movement Phase', the passage is opened and you can move to other areas. The area where 'DANGER' is displayed like this screen is a closed area, so it is necessary to move to another area.



At the end of the 'Movement Phase', blocks will fall in each area. Since the shadow is displayed at your feet where the block will fall, you need to position it so that it will not be crushed. When crushed, you lose one life.



This completes the tutorial.



◆ Actual battle
If you select 'Quick Match', you can play in 'Battle 64' mode in which 64 players play against each other. The flow until the game actually starts is like this. I made a video so that you can see the matching and loading time.

'Super Bomberman R Online' Quick Match The flow to the game starts like this-YouTube


Select 'Quick Match'.



There is a message 'Matching has started' ...



Wait for a while. This video takes about 15 seconds.



Matching is completed and the message 'Opposite found' is displayed.



Next, select your character. By default, 8 Bombermen and 'Naked Snake Bomber' and 'Lobby-kun Bomber' can be selected.



Character selection time is about 25 seconds.



There is another 1 minute of loading after this. Since it is really long in the video, it is set to 5x speed.



When the loading is over, with your character ...



The other 3 characters that will play in the same area will be displayed.



And there is about 10 seconds to read the map ...


The game is about to begin.



As you can see from the above, although it is a '64-player battle', the game does not suddenly have 64 characters thrown into the same map, but starts with 4 players in one area. If you survive the one-minute battle, there will be a 'movement phase', and with the number of areas reduced, you will proceed to the next one-minute battle. The game starts with four people in one area.

Each player has two lives, and if they are defeated twice, they will be knocked out of the game. At that time, the items you had will be scattered around the place where you were knocked down. In the example below, another bomb explodes above the pink bon that has moved away from the bomb you placed.



Pink Bon left behind three items. The item with the heart symbol on the upper right is an item that restores 1 life. For this reason, it is possible for the life 2 player to attack the life 1 player with a self-destruction and aim for a tactic of recovering with the dropped heart. It is dangerous to think that 'it is okay to be killed once because there are two lives'.



If only one person survives in the area, the message 'Area monopoly!' Is displayed ...



A lot of bonus items will come down.



Eventually, as the area decreased, I was finally knocked out, but I was able to stay in the top 8 in this battle.



When knocked out, the screen will change to the result screen. First, the number of out of 64 people is displayed ...



Points will be added to the 'grade'. 'Grade' indicates skill and will be reset after a certain period of time.



In the battle evaluation, points calculated based on 'how long you survived', 'how many items you acquired', 'how long you survived', and 'how many blocks you broke' will be added to the bomber pass. You can get various dress-up items by increasing the rank of Bomber Pass.



After that, you can choose to watch the battle to the end or leave and challenge the next battle.



In addition, you may be able to get rewards as you rank up.



◆ Characters and special abilities
Characters have not only differences in appearance but also subtle differences in abilities, which can be confirmed on the character selection screen. The eldest son of the eight most orthodox Bomberman brothers, 'White Bon,' has no special abilities, has 2 firepower at the start, 1 bombs that can be installed, and 0 movement speed (standard). In addition, you can use 'Bomb Punch', 'Bomb Kick', 'Power Glove', 'Penetration Bomb', and 'Boyoyon Bomb' by picking up items during the game.



The second son 'Kurobon' also has no special ability. The firepower at the start is 2, the number of installed bombs is 1, but the movement speed is 5. However, the potential to pick up and extend items is lower than White Bonn, with a maximum of 4 firepower, a maximum of 2 bombs, and a maximum movement speed of 8. Also, as the 'Power Glove' icon has a diagonal line, it cannot be used even if it is picked up in the game.



The second daughter 'Water Bon' has 3 firepower, 1 bomb, and 0 movement speed. I own 'Penetration Bomb' from the beginning of the game, but 'Bomb Kick' and 'Boyoyon Bomb' cannot be used.



The youngest 'Green Bon' is fixed at 1 firepower, 1 bomb number, and 0 movement speed. It's too weak, but instead it is equipped with 'Bomb Punch', 'Bomb Kick', and 'Power Glove' from the beginning.



'Pyramid Head Bomber', which is a mysterious Bomberman of the Fog Star and Silent Hill Star, has a low ability as a Bomberman, but with the special ability 'Judgment', you can defeat the characters you touch.



The super space-time battle Bomberman 'Pick Viper Bomber' of Gladius star can move at high speed.



Metal Gear Star Soldier Bomberman 'Naked Snake Bomber' can move without being found by the enemy.



Like the Pyramid Head Bomber, 'Lobby Kimi Bomber' is from Silent Hill. You can immobilize the characters you come in contact with with fear.



In addition, the main is 'Battle 64' mode, but there are also 'Grand Prix' mode in which two teams compete for points, and 'Basic' mode in which up to 16 people play solo or as a team, and various ways of playing are possible.

Play is basically free, and the 'Premium Pack', which allows you to unlock various characters and create private battle rooms, is sold for 1100 yen including tax.
