I bought the game on sale, then after an hour or so of gameplay, asked for a refund. It's not because it's not a good game, but because it has too many things I'm looking for that is not yet available at this early stage of the game.
It would be great to have a co-op adventure, not just a multiplayer battle mode-- what I was looking for at this time as I was looking for something to play with my non-gamer wife.
To be fair, I still recommend the game. To be fair, I still will look forward to buying the full "explosive" potential of the game, but just not now.
It still is a lovable game and is the best Bomberman-like type of game I have seen and played on different platforms.

This game smell good the 90's! If you miss playing to your Super nes or your Mega Drive(Genesis), just click and buy this game!
It's not just a cowboy skin of bomberman, this game has much more to offer, mixing exploration like an old zelda and having tons of upgrades to discover over the game.
The game is fun, the feeling of explosion and power of using bombs is well done. Always a fresh map to explore each run. On the down side, I find the game a bit too hard, but i'm confident that Mode4 will look at that during the early access!
I've tested that game since a few weeks now, and what I can say is that they put tons of efforts in it. Mode4 listens to what their community can say, and they are very reactive about any proposition, ideas or issues found!

A Roguelike Bomberman-Inspired Action Game
+ The gameplay / combat is very similar to bomberman. You go around placing bombs to kill enemies while hiding behind rocks and such to avoid getting hurt in the blast. Fans of classic bomberman should enjoy Bombslinger.
+ The single player campaign is very similar to games like The Binding of Isaac. You go from room to room fighting enemies while collecting upgrades, abilities, and money (used in the shop). At the end of each level is a rather challenging boss fight.
+ Visually the game looks very unique. It has a top-down perspective, but some things are 3D while others are 2D which creates a very interesting style.
+ Challenging Boss fights
+ Lots of abilities, items, and upgrades that change the way you play, and are very helpful as you progress.
This game is in Early Access so these are subject to change
- The soundtrack or background music was very repetitive and honestly pretty dull. I feel like some better music could really help this game shine.
- I felt like there were too many obstacles on each stage. I spent a lot of time blowing up corn, grass, and fires which were simply in the way and blocking me from reaching exits or enemies.
- I realize the game is in EA, but I do feel like there should be more bosses, and they should be more randomized. It's a bit tiresome when you die and have to restart from the beginning knowing you will always fight the same bosses each time through.

Probably the closest to a legitimate Bomberman experience you'll get to on PC, not just Steam, outside of emulation, and far more party-ready. The multiplayer is solid, and you can play online via Parsec (which I recommend if you've got a good connection for just about any local-multiplayer game).
The single-player is fun and has all the highs and lows of any other rogue-like game. Other than a few very rare bugs that can occur (especially frustrating toward the end of a very powerful run), the game runs very smoothly and without issues on a large variety of hardware. The bosses are extremely tough when starting, but are fairly predictable, and as a result this particular game is more consistent than most rogue-likes. The item variety adds a fair bit of strategy to the game, and it's fun messing with different builds to find either incredibly powerful builds that will allow for an easy run or succeed-or-suck builds that are a huge gamble with the possibility of quick death or deft victories. I've put in a lot of runs on this game and it's an excellent time killer with endless opportunities for fun during multiplayer. My only wish is that multiplayer would get more options for customization going forward. Other than that, the game is fairly flawless, and delivers on its promises excellently for both the experienced rogue-player and newcomers alike.

Bombslinger is the kinda Bomber Man like concept I've been hoping for for years! I've enjoyed more than a few Bomber Man games but the same ol grid arena battles for the single player mode always felt lacking. Bombslinger has totally figured that scenario out! It plays more like the original Zelda, you can walk around a map in any direction, with seemingly random area designs for each new room you enter. Getting to use the Bomber Man four-way explosion mechanic in a kind of action RPG style game really gives it a feel all its own. Also the 2D/3D Pixel art style looks great and totally works with the overall aestetic of the game!

Huge game for a low price. Bombslinger is very surpising, at the first time you could think that it is only a Bomberman-like but it is much more. The sensation of the explosion is brutal, the soundtrack is wonderfull, the ennemy are funny and the boss are difficult. Just what I needed for a long time.
Thank you

Bombslinger offers Bomberman-style gameplay with a rogue-like dungeon crawl overlay. The game is pretty smooth but some aspects of the combat feel a bit stiff. Overall a fun little game with some good depth/replayability and permanent unlocks - definitely worth picking up on sale.
I got this game for $1.20 (on sale) and am very satisfied with my purchase.
