Bomber Crew

my ranked teammates (the crew) are brain dead and wont shoot a fucking rocket and will instead waste all their ammo 3 times on one fucking plane and still miss.
(still a good game)

Super fun crew management game with some great mechanics and a super fun sense of progression. Bombs away!

Great Game,but would like updates/expansions plz!

I flew a night mission and got spotted, and moments later every spotlight in the entirety of Europe aimed at my Lancaster and basically blinded me. 10/10, would get blinded again.

love this game if your looking for a challenge this is the game for you

Amazing game, watched it when I was in Primary school, finally getting to play the game was totally worth it!

i remember playing this game on my dad's pc when i was 12 and really liking it. but also crashing my plane late in the campaign after upgrading it and the crew a bunch. leading to me having no money to upgrade the new plane and kinda got stuck in a cycle of dying than not having money to upgrade anything and getting shot down because of that.

years later bought it again and its just like how i remembered it. still awesomesauce, this game gives me such a perfect mix of dopamine and anxiety its awesome. i will say tho after playing a while it might get a little repetitive at least the beginning and end of every mission. theres just nothing to do expect to wait for the waypoint to show up, theres always a minute of dead air waiting for the plane to land or go across the english channel.

allround i love this game can recommend

Can be hard at times but after a hour or 2 it will start getting easy (when i mean by easy i mean you will learn all the conrols)

I would really love a Japanese campaign where you would fly a B-25 into Hiroshima, and i would love a crew member update where if you got an extra bottom turret, you would have to recruit an extra gunner.

The game is overall an awesome game to play, definitely recommend to others. 10/10

Played for 3 hours.

One of my favorite games now.

Great gameplay, but it can become too repetitive

it was fun i liked having to fly with half a wing one working engine and 1 gear it was very realistic.

This small indie game came as a big surprise to me: quite deep gameplay, noticeable progression, juggling micromanagement, high risk - high reward, nice visual style and a good soundtrack. Unfortunately, it only lacks multiplayer. I can praise Bomber Crew for a long time, but in short, this is exactly what you need on sale.

Unable to save, meaning plane crashed, start all over. And why do you need crew if you have to do everything yourself?

This game LOOKS amazing and fun, but it is an exercise in frustration. It gets unreasonably difficult unreasonably quickly, with no way to turn down the difficulty. It is very easy to get softlocked, as after a very short interval it stops offering easy missions, meaning that if you lose the plane or any of your crew, there is no way to be able to get back to having good equipment and crew again. You lose your plane, even though everyone survives? Well, you're screwed. You will never be ABLE to complete another mission ever again, and therefore will never be able to get the ridiculous amounts of currency needed for the upgrades. If you ever want to play this game, you will have a fun first hour or so, but after that you either need to save scum to extreme levels, or everything you've worked towards will inevitably be lost, and you can't really get it back. Don't even bother with spending the ridiculous amounts for survival equipment in your plane, or for parachutes for that matter. If your plane goes down, your playthrough is over, you'd better just start again.

I first hired a "Suicide crew" basically gave them no equipment and sent them on the most dangerous missions to earn money to buy upgrades for the next crew. But somehow they survived all of it, taking down 2 Enemy aces in the process. Eventually I named them, and then they became my main crew. Gave them upgrades to there suits and bomber. They were a good crew... there all dead now... I miss them.
10/10 would play again.

Devs made game too difficult. There's no reason I should be getting shot down in the first few missions on a new play through when my crew members haven't got any skills yet and my bomber has zero upgrades.

Outside of that, it is a frustratingly fun game.

Fun game over all, always expect the unexpected, 10/10

Too much going on all at once. Controls make it too difficult to manage that. Was expecting more FTL but in ww2.

Half the hours I have were playing the game, the other half was creating pinup girl nose art for my plane. Good game

Great little game. Ive only really played the DLC, because I love B17s. still gotta fly the Lancaster. totally worth the money at a discount. I bought the whole bundle.

fun game, but very frustrating, if you crash you lose all your crew and their abilities, and you lose your plane and all of its VERY EXPENSIVE upgrades (in game currancy), it really suckes. you bassicly start from scratch every time you crash.

Good game but can make men cry!!!!!!! If you lose on a mission half the time you lose all your progress and have to start again because you can't do the missions with a bad crew and plane

BEST INDIE GAME EVER, the secret weapons dlc was also very good, as even in campaign mode, you can have secret weapons dlc items!!, and at the time of this review I am trying the B17 dlc campaign.

>goes into mission knowing ace is in the area
>freaks out when sees ace
>gets fucking railed by 8 untagged dudes and an ace
>one of gunners is dying
>escape and start landing approach
>entire cabin catches on fucking fire
>smashes into runway and the entire aircraft explodes
>mission briefing: everyone except that one gunner and is fine and the plane is repaired

10/10 would crash again

Having completed Bomber Crew's main campaign, I can confidently say this game was worth buying. If you like an easy game, Bomber Crew is not for you. I've had to reset saves over 1 lost mission. But, the end result is worth it.

Bombs Away! (I've lost several crews and bombers and grieve their sacrifices that definitely aren't my fault every day)

i mean, its not a terrible game, pretty good game, a bit annoying you have to buy either the usaaf or spectial weapons dlc to actualy play but its pretty fun

It is such a perfect game! If you like to get your mind filled in with multitasking, this is the game

Got it and the DLC on sale for like 8 bucks, its fun and all at first but what kills the game for me is the controls, they are really really bad... like extremely bad, and you can't rebind any keys. Both the selection and movement key are bind to one key(left click), this leads to constant mismanaging of your crews tasks, trying to heal someone or pick up items, or trying to select a different crew member and then you realize your plane is in a nose dive because your pilot decided to get up and walk to the tail of the plane etc...

The user interface doesn't complement this problem either, in the heat of the moment you will be constantly dragging your mouse to the left over and over to select your crew individually because you can't really use the aforementioned clicking-system unless its really necessary. Gunner positions aren't labeled so i can't tell which gunner i'm selecting fast enough to make any differences. There's no voice acting just sims-like grunting and on screen text of your crew telling you important things that you never get to see because you have to go into targeting mode to target enemies/change heading, this blocks the whole user interface off resulting in you not seeing or knowing whats going on in your bomber.

Not being able to even move the bomber a different direction without a navigator is just frustratingly dumb no matter how you put it. for some reason the navigator 80% of the time is useless unless your at low altitude, which is not exactly what your expecting while flying a Lancaster/B-17. You'll find yourself flying into the void because your pilot isn't able to be anything but a statue without the navigator giving him co-ordinates, you can't even use the manual input coordinates upgrade unless the navigator can see, which again its like he's legally blind or something.

Missions get boring quick because you have to do the same boring ones over and over to get your Plane & Crew leveled up enough to do the next main mission.

Losing crew members/planes/upgrades is permanent and sets you back to square one. for some reason crew aren't equipped automatically with parachutes in a war time bomber?? and you aren't able to carry enough parachutes for your entire crew until you've maxed out all equipment racks, which you literally need for all the other pieces of equipment anyways.

Nothing goes how you would expect things to go in a plane, when you run out of fuel the pilot just gives up and becomes a statue again instead of gliding when you press the emergency landing, and as you're approaching the runway with your gear up the pilot just starts flying away to an absurd distance before retrying the landing, why do i have to hit the emergency landing button when landing the plane with no gear to land on the runway? just land the plane, if i want to do it with no gear then that needs to be my fault for forgetting/or purposely doing it.

Customization at first glance looks good until you realize how lackluster it is, there just isn't enough. You can design a limited amount of emblems with pixels but it would take hours to do it reasonably well.

Honestly the more i played the game the more i kept thinking about how much better it could be, it feels unfinished and more annoying to play than anything. Hopefully i can find another game like this because the concept is really cool but i feel this isn't the way it should of been done.

played first few missions, got familiar with the crew, right after i unlocked mk2 .303s with auto loading my bomber got anhialated by an ace 10/10 would play 1000 times again

Probably the best £2.39 Ive ever spent. Fantastic game and the music is so cool!

Would love Multiplayer mode, maybe people in four, each player have one bomber. Can fly in formation, but in return have bigger missions, harder bots and more targets. 4.5/5 for everything

One of the most fun games to pick up and then realize 3 hours passed by. This was surprisingly good especially at the sale price of $3 or so. Likely will get the DLC.

I just picked up the base game and both DLCs for less than $10 at around 8pm, I then played until 6am the next morning because I was so invested. I had this game before on xbox a while back and it still doesnt dissapoint.

My only complaint is that the Linux version doesn't allow for Steam achievements to be unlocked, unless I'm running the "mouse fix" beta.
Otherwise, a fun game to play.

if you love bombers even americain i highly recommend this game they have the graf zepillen a huge air craft carrair

Love this game but a little frustrating when you lose most your upgrades or crew after you die but i love this game

i only have 7 hours but its sad to find out there will be no more Bomber Crew, i absolutely love this game and i only want more! More planes, More missions, More guns, More Upgrades, more management! More quality! and id gladly pay what triple A tittle games charge now days!, i dont mind if its in the form of a DLC or just a whole new "Bomber Crew 2" But please whatever you do make more of this! WW2 is such an iconic War with so many battles and cool stories and interesting people! there could be so much to make out of it! and i know myself and many other would enjoy re living historical plane fights/missions. this is the only game of its kind so please i ask that you really take the time to read over my review and consider making/adding more to this game

Its great With the USAAF add on playing wild blue yonder in the background Its perfect but please switch music off And play somthing else

i would reccomend you get this game becouse its super fun (except when you die an lose all your men) and has hours apon hours of playable time and lots of missions getting harder and harder

The game stands out with its charming, cartoonish graphics and an immersive atmosphere that keeps players hooked.

game is fantastic for the price

One emergency dive later and now my Bombardier has been promoted to mechanic. The last mechanic was on my wing during the previously mentioned emergency dive. 10/10

I've had a TON of fun leading my salty American crew as we stalk the deadly skies above French and German territory in our B-17 flying fortress, delivering destructive, and explosive kisses through glorious and relentless daytime bombing raids. You'll personally hire your crew, making sure they stay safe and alive while also accomplishing each mission. Those boys that return will gradually level-up, making them more and more reliable as you progress. Be warned though, you WILL lose some good men, and it WILL hurt deep down in your jibbly-bits, though there will always be more fresh recruits waiting to prove their moxy. It's difficult, but it's also extremely fun.

Buy it if you love bombing Nazi Germany.
Or maybe you're an AXIS Scumbag who chooses not to...

i think this game is really fun and intense

an amazing and fun game with lots of gameplay. 10/10

Where to begin this anyone who is saying the game is to hard clearly has not put enough effort into their run the game is meant to be hard late game and bomber crews never had it easy so why would you. ive never lost a single crew lost a few bombers but never my men. if you want a really fun game with some challenge this is the game

Great game love the poly art style a very grindy game and you must have lots of patients but if you like WW2 type "sim" games then i think you'll like this!

great game needs more updates but still great
