Our take on Big Bash Boom
The arcade focus trades away the fuller simulation detail associated with regular cricket games. Power-ups, novelty unlockables, mascots, and unusual ball designs take priority over a strictly traditional presentation of the sport.
What is Big Bash Boom?
Big Bash Boom presents T20 cricket as fast arcade play rather than a standard cricket simulation.
Power-ups affect batting and bowling, supporting high scores, sixes, and ducks. The game includes the teams and players from the 2018/2019 KFC Big Bash League and Rebel Women’s Big Bash League seasons. Tournament mode covers every match in both competitions. More than 60 unlockable items let players customize teams with celebrations, headwear, and unusual cricket-ball options. Official mascots and a cricket duck add animated victory moments, while licensed tracks from artists including The Living End and San Cisco provide the music.
