Bomberman Wars
released on May 16, 1998
Bomberman Wars is a video game in the Bomberman series released for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation on April 16, 1998. The main character is King Bomber who rules over his kingdom. The object of the game is to conquer all the pieces of the Bomber country. Eventually you fight the main villain, Bagular, and his four henchmen. This is one of the earliest games in the Bomberman series to stray away from its party game roots and focus more on the single player component (though it did have a VS mode). It is the third Bomberman game for the Saturn, and the second for the PlayStation.

You can't stop Bomberman he can be anything, even a chess game.
Now here's something I wasn't expecting out of the Bomberman franchise, a turn-based RPG that feels more like chess than Disgaea. I have honestly mixed feelings about this game, it's not bad but it's not really good either, it feels more like a rough base of a game that could be great but was not really fleshed out.
The game is pretty straightforward, there's a chessboard and you have 4 units at all time, they can move and place bombs, every 5 turn the bomb explode and the goal is to kill the king, so yeah that's literally Bomberman Chess.
There's a total of 25 stages but honestly, it gets boring after the 5th one since they are pretty much all the damn same, and with how slow the animation is it feels like a total slog to go through the menu.
I'm not sure I'd recommend this game to anyone that doesn't care about turn-based games as this game will do nothing to them but if you do like some good ol' chess or something like Disgaea it's worth a try.
