User Reviews

Users enjoy The Legend of Bum-Bo's addictive turn-based puzzle combat, quirky characters, and its fun, strategic gameplay. However, frequent complaints include lack of a saving feature causing lost progress, frustratingly inaccurate touch controls, occasional crashes, and poorly visible UI elements. Many highlight the absence of an undo function, which combined with touch input issues, negatively impacts gameplay experience on mobile devices. Despite these drawbacks, the game is appreciated for its entertainment and appeal to fans of the genre and related titles.

Pros

Fun and addictive gameplay with strategic puzzle-solving and turn-based combat.
Engaging characters and storyline with a quirky, humorous style.
Good game for fans of Binding of Isaac and match-three games.
Entertaining and enjoyable experience overall despite issues.
Able to pick up and play without prior knowledge, appealing to a niche audience.

Cons

Lack of save feature causing loss of progress when switching apps or app closures.
Touch controls often inaccurate, with difficulty placing tiles leading to mistakes.
Game crashes and freezing during gameplay causing frustration.
Dark and small UI elements, especially the 'end turn' screen, hindering visibility.
No undo function making mistakes unforgiving and frustrating.

With my old phone, this used to be a go-to app for some fun puzzle solving, boss fighting and "turn-based" combat. Now however, it's just a waste of a bunch of space in my phone, it doesn't even launch on newer systems it seems. I loved Binding of Isaac so much, to see Bumbo go down as an unrunnable app for almost no reason it seems.

Love the game but 2 REALLY huge issues which I doubt they'll fix unfortunately. 1) can't save or sign in to Google play so it makes even wanting to play this pointless. And 2) touch controls make it so that you may accidentally place your piece in a location you didn't mean to with no way to undo or lock in instead of just automatically locking in as soon as you take your finger off the screen. If they ever fix these I will update my review and play on mobile but until then just play on PC
