While you try hard not to be overly reductive when evaluating games when there’s an unmistakable inspiration involve you have to note it. While Scrap Rush does offer up a bit of a variation on the method of dealing with obstacles and dispatching your enemies there’s no missing its similarities to the Bomberman franchise. To its credit its single-player mode at least has a different feel to it, even if it isn’t terribly exciting, and it does a decent job of helping you understand what you’re capable of. Then, whether against bots or friends, you’ll be working to shove blocks of scrap at each other and trying to squish everyone else while not allowing them to do the same to you. It doesn’t do a lot to clearly stand on its own but it’s not a bad alternative if you and your friends could enjoy a variation on a familiar theme.
