Although its gameplay is simplified compared to other MOBA games, however, ''Bombergirl'' features a streamlined, arcade-styled approach to the genre on top of the ''Bomberman'' foundation. XP earned through collecting the Team XP power-ups and is shared among the entire team rather than individual players, being defeated by enemies (or stage hazards) causes the player to lose a stat power-up rather than losing character levels, and the game being designed for quick and simple skirmishes. The game also features a large variety of maps to play, some which of include unique level gimmicks and hazards similarly to the classic ''Bomberman'' games. Players can also dress-up the Bombergirls in various costumes and accessories, as well as change their chat voices and special skills with other ones (if available) from the Locker Room. After each match, players can pull various items such as costumes, extra skills, and unlockable characters through the Bomber Gacha; if the player receives an item they already own, it rewards CP instead, which can be spent through the in-game shop in the Locker Room.

''Bombergirl'' is a {{spin|off}}-off game in the ''Bomberman'' series, it was developed by Creator/{{Konami}} and released on August 30, 2018 for the e-Amusmement arcade system. It is a MOBA-styled take on the classic ''Bomberman'' gameplay where 8 players split into two 4-player teams take control of the titular Bombergirls and battle against each other as they race against the clock to take over their opponent's towers and destroy their base. There are four types of Bombergirls among the game's roster: Bombers, characters who specializes in planting many bombs; Attackers, melee-oriented fighters geared towards fighting the enemy's team; Shooters, who are similar to Attackers but utilizing long-ranged attacks instead, and Blockers, supportive characters who can assist allies and create obstructions. Each Bombergirl possesses unique stats and special skills they can use to fight against enemies or support allies if sufficient amounts of Team XP has been earned. Similarly to ''Otomedius'', ''Bombergirl'' also features cameos and references to other Konami properties such as ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'', ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'', ''VideoGame/{{beatmania}}'', and ''VideoGame/TwinBee''.

* BloodlessCarnage: Despite the game featuring characters fighting each other with explosives, sharp weapons, energy weapons, fire, electricity, and angelic/demonic powers, the game's violence is tame, the defeated characters are shown getting dirtied by gunpowder with only their clothes receiving the damage, and there's not a single drop of blood anywhere in the game. Even if a characters hit by an oncoming train or eaten alive by a shark, they merely poof out of existence upon meeting their demise.
* CastFromHitPoints: Urushi's ''Ninja Art Idaten Foot'' skill, which grants her faster movement speed at the expense of some of her HP.

* HornyDevils: Grim Aloe, a devil girl who loves teasing the player, flaunts her seductive looks, and gets turned on whenever her clothes gets blown up. Aqua

* SheGotLegs: Some of the girls such as Oren, Asagi, Papuru, and Aqua show off their legs with their default outfits.

** A not-so-subtle parody of Shiro and Kuro drawin in the style of Popuko and Pipimi from ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'' was featured in [[https://twitter.com/bombergirl573/status/1114096852620599296 this comic]].

* AnimalEaredHeadband: Urushi wears a mouse-eared hair band with her default outfit.
* ArtShift: Can be invoked in the game by wearing a SuperDeformed styled hair accessory for the matching character, which also doubles as modesty option as it replaces the default character portraits and fanservicey defeated artwork with something cutesy and sillier instead. The comics also tends to pull this, having characters looks go from super-deformed to realistic at the drop of a hat.

* JigglePhysics: Although the game lacks breasts physics on the character models, there are jiggle physics used for the character's hair and clothes, which can be seen when rotating them around in the Locker Room.

* ScreenCrunch: Downplayed. The original arcade version of the game was designed for a vertically-oriented display, whereas its PC version is displayed in a horizontally-oriented aspect-ratio, losing a great deal of vertical visibility as a result compared to the arcade version. Despite this, the PC version does use the horizonal-oriented screen real estate properly by refitting the UI elements, offering a wider playing field, and makes up lack of vertical visibility by giving players a mini-map they can view on the upper-right corner of the game screen, which can be zoomed-in or out with a dedicated button.

** JackOfAllStats: Bombers -- balanced stats across the board and specializing in demolition to enemy structures.

* RobotGirl: Emeria is one. Although her default outfit implies her body is mostly robotic, her defeated artwork, a piece of promotional artwork, and her swimsuit skin indicates that her body is less robotic than it appears.
