A cartoony bomb filled maze game with a single-player story-mode and explosive multiplayer battles, Super Bomberman R 2 has now been given a Steam Deck Playable rating.
Released on September 13th, 2023 to mark the series' 40th anniversary, the game's story-mode sees Bomberman and his quirky siblings return to do battle with intergalactic eviltons, and the famous multiplayer battle-mode from previous games is back as well. There's also a new addition, Castle, where one player guards and a team of other players attempt to plunder the castle's treasures, which plays out like the classic Japanese comedy game-show Takeshi's Castle, but with added bombs! This mode also features a level-editor and the ability to share your creations online.
The Playable status is due to incorrect controller glyphs being displayed, and the correct resolution for the Steam Deck not being set out of the box. Proton 8 has been selected for the game, which is the same version which finally made the first Super Bomberman R properly playable on Linux back in July. As with many titles nowadays, it worked perfectly at launch prior to getting an official Steam Deck rating, though!
Direct Link
The main game offers a single-player adventure to teach you the ropes before you take your skills to the battlefield, and the battle mode has a selection of offline and online multiplayer games with cross-platform play - and with no anti-cheat or anti-tamper to cause trouble for Linux players. The myriad of options for local play are a fun use for the Steam Deck dock, too!
