Bomberman Quest[a] is an action role-playing game. The player takes the role of Bomberman, who has to defeat monsters and collect items to defeat the Commander bosses of each area. Bomberman Quest marks the departure of veteran composer, Jun Chikuma.
The game is an action role-playing game with a top-down view perspective, where players freely control Bomberman through several regions, including: Peace Town, Field Zone, Forest Zone, Beach Zone, and Desert Zone, while seeking help from the locals. Players can acquire power-ups such as bomb parts, earn and abilities that enhance skills by defeating monsters. Additionally, the game features a battle mode where two players can fight via the Game Link Cable accessory.[1]
Reception
It had an initially chilly reception on release, with critics giving middling marks while players came to love it in the long run. RPGFan's 66 review called upon its catchy tunes and quirky story to task but faulted its too-simple puzzles, cumbersome menus, and unusable bombs, echoing the era's critical consensus that it fell short of the classic Bomberman model standard. User reviews on sites like GameSpot, averaging 8 of 10, complimented its Zelda-like exploring and enjoyable gameplay but enjoyed its innovative twist despite poor graphics. Throughout the period, this admiration took hold in the cult of fans attested on nostalgic Reddit forums where fans lament lost copies and comment on its stratospheric resale value—sometimes over $1,000 on brand-new copies—testimony to its rarity and enduring popularity. That such gap existed between initial critical ambivalence and passionate players is testimony to Bomberman Quest's transcendence of its rocky birth to the cult classic that exists today.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
