Gameplay and premise

Players control Jason, the protagonist of Blaster Master, with his car Sophia not present. Players have various abilities, including making Jason fire a gun and plant bombs that can be used to damage enemies and environment. Players will encounter power-ups that will allow Jason to clear obstacles. Players can also upgrade their weapons with other power-ups. Each stage features an exit that requires a key and a boss behind that exit.[2]

Development

It is a sequel to Robowarrior, a spin-off title in the Bomberman series by Hudson Soft. However, the game was marketed in western territories as a game in the Blaster Master series by Sunsoft.[3] Aside from the title change, the game is the same in all regions.[2]

Reception

Hardcore Gaming 101 felt that the game was decent for a Game Boy title, but that they would not replay it due to being unremarkable. They speculated that the name change was due to a similarity between Blaster Master's overhead stages and these.[2]
