Bombing Bastards has its moments, primarily in its single-player, but the failure of its multiplayer really drags the entire experience down. It's a noble attempt at recapturing the Bomberman spirit, but it just misses the mark.

Critic reviews
- 6.0Bombing Bastards doesn't stand up to the high standards set by some recent Wii U eShop releases, but it's a competent if unremarkable action puzzler. Serving a niche that hasn't been served in several years, it has its place in some Wii U owners' libraries, but for everyone else there are more satisfying and exciting titles to be found on the eShop.
- 6.0Amusing name aside, Bombing Bastards has little else going for it. Unless you’re starved for a new entry in the Bomberman series you’d do best to keep your distance from the blast radius.
- As a result, Bastards can feel lazy and devoid of original concepts. But that will be easily overlooked when caught up in a screaming match with a few friends over who blew up whom. And in the end, those moments will be more powerful than the realization that Bombing Bastards plays things disappointingly safe.
