[Friday Bombshell] Bomberman VS Zombies Combines Familiar Gameplay With AI Zombies, Unique Controls

Bomberman vs Zombies by Contlex Labs, which spent "24 weeks in the list of top 10 BlackBerry games," has come to Android, bringing endless zombies and explosions to the palm of your hand.

BvZ should look extremely familiar to fans of Bomberman, or those who remember the rendition we saw a few months ago for Android, but Contlex's creation offers clean, pleasing graphics which can be enjoyed on smartphones and tablets alike, and a somewhat unique gameplay dynamic.

Bomberman vs Zombies pits the player as the heroic Bomberman, who is charged with the mission of eliminating zombies from the planet before they "realize their dark plans" of taking over the Earth.

Adding a unique edge to gameplay, BvZ offers two different control schemes – one based on swipe or "slide" control, and one which relies on on-screen buttons (which can be implemented in either large or small form). Players must blast through crates and clever AI zombies in order to escape through a hatch found in each level. Throughout the game, players can gather bonuses (or "antibonuses"), utilize different types of bombs, and fight off zombies, bats, skulls, and coffins.

  

Bomberman vs Zombies looks to be just as fun as its BlackBerry counterpart and offers a familiar gameplay style which fans of classic Bomberman games will certainly enjoy. The free edition of the game is supported by large in-game banners, but an ad-free version can be purchased for a paltry $0.99.
