Bombastic Brothers – Top Squad

Let me start by saying this game is a blast! I highly recommend it, but it has its flaws once you’re about a week in. You reach a Plateau where it become hard to upgrade your characters and harder still to get better gear. My hero’s are level 28 and 29 but all the gear in the pvp shop is level 32 to 37 so I can’t buy stuff there. Same with the crates. I only get lvl 30+ from those now and on top of that I can’t complete the 3rd part of the daily missions to get the proto chests because it require 1,000 power more than any of my hero’s have. It’s give me a sense that the developers are trying to get me to spend money to upgrade, which I would totally do if it weren’t for how ludicrous the prices are for ingame purchases. The only bundle for dog tags that is half way decent costs $100! I’d spend $5 maybe $10 on dog tags, but their prices are so high that $20 is the minimum price for crystals that will buy your their lowest bundle of dog tags. The lowest bundle would not upgrade one of my characters once. This game clearly wants you to spend BIG money for no gain and that is really sad! It should be about the experience and fostering a good time not the money. But again, fun game.

There are a lot of characters with different abilities, a lot of weapons with different effects and you would think a lot different strategies to play and get the W, but no. In PvP you have no control over your team, they battle in “auto”. I think the PvP would be more entertaining and feel more rewarding if we were actually doing something besides arranging the order of which we fight. Winning is all based on “power”, regardless if your playing missions or in PvP which is an obvious “pay to win” set up and there is no continuous competitive play or arcade mode which makes the game repetitive. You can only replay missions you have already beaten or replay expeditions which is only a few for a while because of the “power” problem mentioned before. Bottom line, if you play games for 5-15 minutes and are done and like SLOW progression, then this seems like a good fit. IF YOU ENJOY (semi)COMPETITIVE GAMEPLAY, THINK AGAIN Also there’s no social network here at all, that might make the game more interesting.

Bombastic Brothers is a wonderful 2d platforming Run n’ Gun with rpg elements. I even saw a few story elements to the old Contra games on Nintendo! Always a great genre and super fun to play. I was having a fantastic time until I got to the 4th act and saw I was 4K power too short to continue further. So either need to make not such a giant gap in power to continue or create more ways to grind the dog tags and equipment you need to go further. I can’t upgrade my training room to make my heroes higher level, until I upgrade my bridge, and I am not strong enough to get more money and tags until I can. So I feel as if I’m stuck unless I spend a lot of money on just dog tags and gems. I always spend 5-10 dollars to help devs anyway, but I think I would have to spend much more to get anywhere. So great game devs, just need more ways to get what we need to keep going. The more time people are playing the game, the more likely they are to spend money! Keep up the good work!!

I normally don’t post reviews, but I thought I would share my opinion on this one. I like it, it’s great fun and the humor in it gives it a good touch. It’s like metal slug but the animation is different. The game is simple and straight to the point which is what I like. The one thing I don’t like however is the movement controls. They can be delayed and sometimes unresponsive. It also doesn’t make sense to use a joystick if you can only go left or right. I feel if your gonna have a joystick it should let you control all aspects of movement like jump and dropping off platforms rather than put in a jump button. We should get a choice between a joystick that has all functions of movement or use a left and right movement button and a jump button. Other than that, love the game and will keep playing it!

Overall game is great. Love the game play and it’s a lot of fun, but you get to a point where you’re not getting lucky from the free crates and can’t get good enough gear to clear the missions without getting overpowered by the enemies. You require a certain power level for each mission and if you don’t have the power level, you’re basically going on a suicide mission. Your damage barely harms enemies and they do double the damage to you. The only way to increase your power levels is to get crates and well you probably already know, the crates cost gems which can only be acquired from paying for gems or leveling up which leveling up only gives you like 10-15 gems and crates cost 50 gems. You can get free ones from playing the missions and daily quests but how are you going to beat the missions for crates if you don’t have the gear to do so? So in a sense, this game is pay to play because you either have to get lucky from free crates or you just won’t be able to play the missions a lot
