Pros
Pro Allows using a tablet or an Android TV as a screen, and Android/iOS phone as a remote
This is one of the few games that succeeded in innovating android gaming. You can set a tablet or an android TV as the screen, while using the remote app on your Android or iOS device as the controller. They connect to each other via wifi.
Pro Assortment of game modes
There are 12 online and local co-op missions in game that allows up to 4 players as well as player modes like tower defense or football. There is also a couple of PvP modes such as free for all or versus. Sadly the only single player modes are the co-op modes played with an AI.
Pro Immersive mode support
BombSquad has built-in immersive mode support for playing games in full screen on devices that have software navigation keys. This is done by the OS, hiding the navigation bar while playing the game, so it plays fullscreen.
Pro Fun party game mechanics with momentum based gameplay
Consisting of bomb based multiplayer gameplay (somewhat similar to Bomberman) that is geared towards being played in a party setting. Throwing bombs at your friends who are in the same room or online while yourself trying to not get blown up will easily make for a fun time, especially in large groups.
During gameplay players can utilize their momentum by hitting harder or throwing further. So starting from one side of the screen and reaching the other to perform a throw or hit can give a lot more strength to their throws or hits.
Cons
Con Not much fun playing alone
While this game has a single player campaign, playing this alone isn't as fun. Single player mode is extremely difficult, which does detract from enjoying the single player gameplay. Also, being that the game is designed to be played in groups, to play against 3 other AI players in not as fun or unpredictable as playing against human players..
Con Online multiplayer requires g+ and doesn't work that well
Cant play online unless you invite google+ friends but it does not work well.
