Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons attempts to enrich the classic Bubble Bobble gameplay by introducing roguelite and metroidvania elements, and on paper the idea is actually quite promising; unfortunately, the bland level design and an overall execution that borders on amateurish make it impossible to tell whether the format could truly have worked or if it should have been abandoned from the start. There's very little worth saving in this production, Bubble Symphony aside. Hardcore little dragon fans will find something to chew on for a good number of hours, but fun is by no means guaranteed.

It is way, way better than Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, and it could be great for you if you like your games on the とても難しい side, or if you don’t already have a copy of the still excellent Bubble Symphony to hand. If you’re after that classic Bubble Bobble gameplay, however, the original is still the best.
Despite its adorableness, BUBBLE BOBBLE Sugar Dungeons is one of the toughest games that you'll ever play; think Spelunker but even more unforgiving. However, if you're willing to stick to it, you'll end up having a great time mastering its oodles of content. 🍬
Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons offers an entertaining reimagining of the classic series, combining bubble-blowing mechanics with dynamic dungeons and a progression system that adds some depth. Its colorful aesthetic and the inclusion of classic content add charm and nostalgia, but the repetitiveness of some levels and certain difficulty spikes prevent the experience from being entirely perfect. Even so, it's an entertaining game that can appeal to both veterans and newcomers, albeit with some reservations.

BUBBLE BOBBLE Sugar Dungeons has a good idea, but its execution seems to have been done by one of those amateur chefs from culinary reality shows. There's a lot of potential in the idea of using candies and power-ups, but the slow start, combined with the grinding that's tied to the randomness of the dungeons, makes the progression drag. At least it's worth it to be able to play Bubble Symphony in a well-emulated port and with menus in English.

Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons attempts to innovate the formula, but the execution doesn't live up to the ambition. The superficial level design, mobile game progression, minimalist presentation, and lack of co-op severely limit the experience. The only real point of interest is the Bubble Symphony extra, which reminds us how solid and fun the series could be. Otherwise, the initial runs may be briefly entertaining, but the underlying repetitiveness makes the title overall unsatisfying.

It doesn't impress in terms of gameplay, visuals, sound, or even concept. Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons falls short on a console like the Nintendo Switch, which has the potential to do so.

Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons is enjoyable, though not without flaws. The familiar bubble action feels good, the new systems show ambition, and Bub remains a delight. But the resource grind, repetitive dungeon structure, and the lack of co-op hold it back from feeling like a true standout. It’s worth a look for long-time fans or curious newcomers, especially if you’re open to a more experimental take on the series. As a retro fan, the inclusion of Bubble Symphony, which does include co-op, made this a package solid recommendation.
