(Title corrected by a user) I mean, Mappy has a "lore". Dig Dug has a "lore". But I can't seem to find Bomberman lore.

I've been speaking English daily for at least 15 years and I still have no idea what's correct, just what "feels right".

That's literally everyone that speaks English. Including those of us for whom English is their native tongue. <- For example, I think I worded that correctly but I'm still not sure and I've spoken English for over 30 years now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If it's a statement, definitely.

"Bomberman has lore?" is generally not the standard formation of a yes/no question. They're usually formed for with the verb "do".

If one wants to know if Amazon sells books and wants a yes/no answer, one would generally ask "Does Amazon sell books?"

If someone is browsing Amazon and finds books unexpectedly, they would be more likely to say "Amazon sells books?"

However, in some dialects of English, the two might be interchangeable. I think it might be the case for Indian English, to give an example.
