According to the Steam page of the game, players take on the role of the titular Bombslinger who happens to be a former ruthless bandit turned rancher.

The features of the game includes the following — "Bomberman"-inspired single and multiplayer (which are called Deathmatch and Last Man Standing) gameplay modes, procedurally generated levels, a large number of items for players to use as and a four-player battle mode and artificial intelligence (AI) robots for classic local multiplayer action.
