Bombergirl is a legit great game, I actually enjoy it more than battle modes in the usual Bomberman games. there's legit autism in Bombergirl ranked matches in in-person arcades that fights and brawls can break out.
However, Konami decided to be too greedy or be too incompetent in porting it to PC.
1.) they decided it to be tied to your Konami Pass. A bit understandable, so you can link your Arcade save game to PC. but holy cow, the verification and loading times are too long. it also felt like they way you set up your Konami account to play MGS4 Online back then.
2.)they decided to make it pay to play. to make it have parity with the arcades, you have to pay to play. It was only recently they removed the pay to play and make it F2P and have the gacha currency
3.)the F2P gacha currency is too grindy, you have to play at least I think 20 days just to earn enough tickets to have a 1x10 roll, and this is excruciating because the good skills, characters and costumes are locked away behind the gacha. you only earn voices through leveling up.
4.)the ping is so high. I think even most F2P quit because the ping is too high and waiting times are too long. because of that, you get paired with bots, and most if not all, your chances of winning is how many bots you have in your team or how many bots the enemy team has.
sample Bombergirl PC gameplay:
I think if sega ports FGO arcade, it will be more half-assed than Bombergirl, but at least probably more effort than Gundam Battle Operation 2
