Bomber Crew

Quite a nice game, fun gameplay, can be stressful when 200 German planes are pelting your B-17 Fortress with so many bullets you get lead poisoning through the screen.

it is very fun and the only thing i dont like is that i cant find the U.S.A.A.F skin pack ( skin pack 3) but other tan that its perfect

very fun, but also stressful! your whole plane falling apart as half of your crew is trying to not die from hypothermia, flak, or enemy planes

Amazing idea for a game and a pretty cool set of mechanics. I would have loved this game if it weren't for one small and previously implemented feature... push pause!

The initial tutorials give you a limited idea of how to operate your bomber but after that you're learning from 5 second real time text prompts mid mission as you're simultaneously directing navigation, machine gun fire, bomb runs and repairs. If and when you lose a crew member or even your entire bomber you lose all the progress and upgrades which you likely need to complete the next mission, essentially soft locking you from completing the campaign and forcing you to start again.

Apparently the early versions of the game had push pause but the douche bag gamer elite pushed the developers to remove the feature completely for ...reasons? This is the exact reason I refunded They Are Billions. How about let people play video games they want to play them? Have an easy and hard mode. I have a life outside of Steam, so I lack the hours a day it takes to "git gud". And to the people making the argument that the frenetic gameplay matches the real life experience, these crews were thoroughly trained in their jobs. I'm certain it was chaotic, but I'm equally certain they weren't frantically reading manuals in their bombers as they were getting shot at.

At first I was skeptical about buying this game, But then after playing it for some time I found it to be really fun, The game is hard to manage at some times and you'll be losing crew left and right, but thats what really adds to this game.

If you like micro-managing, challenges, and a lotta fun, buy bomber crew.

Bought it the day before and already have 4h on it. It did not dissapoint very fun

This game is actually very fun, though it can get rather grindy at times.

ive only played a few hours so far and already have 2 crews in all the games the space crew is really fun too...JUST REMEMBER TOO GRIND, YOU DONT HAVE TO ADV. TO THE NEXT STAGE..wait until your Navagator is leveled up...it takes awhile...worth way more then they have ever charged...you dont need luck if you have ammo

Insanely fun game, this is the first review i've ever wrote and I feel like I had too, this game is amazing, I got if for sale for like 3 bucks and this game goes on sale so much. The gameplay is pretty straight foward and it can take some skill to play, it is very high risk however so if you like high risk games i'd recomend. They also do DLC right, both of them add amazing content which could be a whole seperate game. Lowkey a amazing and finished game, I would like new content but it doesn't need it, I just want it.

doesn't fully explain mechanics, you spend over an hour getting upgrades just to get reset because your landing gear suddenly vanishes, fun until you have to redo it over and over for no reason.

Nice little Game to Enjoy!

All the Diffrent game Aspect make i treally fun to play, altrough the game gets a little bit repeating at the End.

Still a very good game with an interesting campain!

Very nice gameplay and is sometimes very challenging, I always spare a bomb to drop on some english town before I land

This game is one of the best singleplayer games of all time. And the USAAF DLC is really fun and worth buying. That feeling after you have completed a hard mission and just made it with no casualities is one of the best feelings of all time.

great game, l love how the guns look and the fire affects. l got it on a sale.

Great game,everything is good,the base game is not too hard to enjoy,but also not too easy to become boring.i hope someday the developer will fix all the problem about the usaaf dlc,so that i will buy and enjoy it too

really fun and it is harder than it seems as a warning to eveyone

I bought this game expecting cute and cozy ww2 manager.
This is as intense as it gets.
I prepared my crew for the first critical mission as much as i could.
And then i lost the plane, and all of my crew except for two.

Been playing this game for 30 minutes and its really fun it has great content, i cant recommend it more!!

ballin game, goes on sale a lot and i eve got one of the DLC's for sale too. w game with a lot of fun things to do

Game is very fun, makes me want to beat my son once in a wile, but other than my crippling alcoholism being only tamed my this game i would highly recommend

this game is very fun if you like flying games or bombing

I found even the tutorial to be too hectic, I couldn't get through without losing my plane and all my crew. That feels really bad to me, tutorials are the time for hand holding. It feels like you're just let loose on the game and you'll either figure it out or rage quit. Game functions not very well explained, spent a solid 10 minutes just trying to figure out how to reload the guns. Skill issue? Probably. Its a very well made game, art style is really cool, the idea is really cool. If you like putting your balls in a blender you'll like it. Not for me.

Shit game, got hit with 1 bolt of lightning and my entire ship explodes into rubble, lose hours of progress and time, don't buy this game

Oh neat, a crew based, mission completing, permadeath strategy game set in one of the more underrepresented branches of WW2. A fairly straight forward introduction to crew and bomber mechanics, a few easy missions, nice, I like where this is going.

Wait, the upgrade process is painfully slow, crew members level up quickly but die even quicker, and missions become impossibly hard? Oh, you have to hang a cursor on a target, individually spot each target with a progress wheel that feels like it takes an eternity when you're under fire from 20 directions at once. AND you can only spot from a weird exterior 3D camera, of which your bomber obstructs about 50% of your view? Who thought that was a good idea? AND it's a common game mechanic for enemy fighters to park low and aft of your ship, perfectly positioned so you can't even spot them if you wanted to, despite being in literal spitting distance of your tail gunner because they're BLOCKED BY YOUR OWN B-24/B-17? THAT was what you went with?

I'm sorry, I normally love games of this ilk. FTL, Into the Breach I play the hell out of. Because those games while hard, are at least fair. This feels like the game wants you to become frustrated, lose whatever ship you spend your initial build dollars on, then be permanently hamstrung by having a base-model garbage plane that is not even close to being well-equipped for the missions you must now embark on after you inevitably get ripped to shreds 4-5 sorties in. I'm sure seasoned vets could point out flaws in my playstyle, how I didn't upgrade this or that armor plating on this or that specific fuselage segment instead of upgrading turrets or primary systems.

Other difficult strategy games at least appear to have a depth that is satisfying once you understand it, this just feels like it unnecessarily beats you over the head with a mallet because the developers thought it'd be more fun to tip the scales egregiously against you. I'm sorry, but FUCK THAT

This is not a bad game - its reasonably well balanced, allows a bunch of playstyles but for me the penalties for failing are too much. One mistake and you are back to grinding up your plane and gear, with hours of progress gone.

A cute delivery with some fun mechanics. It does however, go over the top with difficulty to the point where it's on the "souls" game level of punishment. If I could take control of the guns and get myself out of trouble I think it might work but the RNG based gunners just don't seem to ever get the monkey off your back. Also this game routinely takes cheap shots and feels like it's trying to manufacture a situation wherein the player will lose. In short, it doesn't seem fair. Like in Mario Kart when a player is in last place and suddenly get's all the best stuff and a faster cart only to lose those perks upon becoming 1st. This game gives you no perks (allowing the player taking control of guns to actually be effective).

It has potential but I feel needs a bit more time for balancing.

Cute, fun, just the right amount of challenge
Slightly unusual controls
There can be a lot to focus on at once (there's a slowdown feature I forget to use cause I'm already focused on other things)

this game is hard and awesome. just play it. but it does need multiplayer.

It's a fun, cartoony game set in WWII. Simple to learn, but challenging to play, in a good way. 10\10. Would recommend.

I heard this game was on sale recently, unfortunately I was late to the party...
I always found this game every now and then on Youtube, and once I found it again, now with the money myself to buy it myself, I decided to buy it, even if I needed to buy it full price.
As far as I'm concerned, money well spent as the game is not only fun & enjoyable, but has an excellent aesthetic to it as well.
Also it truly punishes you when you make a mistake, so you will quickly learn to never make the same one again.

honestly really fun

In my opinion it's a solid game, I bought all the DLC's and game for just $17 bucks and had a pretty fun time playing the game, It does get boring after some time because it's pretty repetitive but overall it is a good game, I'd recommend to give it a shoot!

comfy game, bit stressful tho

Twas good fun sending bombs to the nutzis

Will admit, the game can be extremely hectic and is very punishing early on when your crew has none of their skills or ability to hit things. Once you get your plane and crew leveled up you become an absolute terror of the skies, and the ace boss fights become very fun.

That said I would recommend playing the American DLC campaign first if you have it. It's generally easier and you can get all the achievements from it alone.

Great game! Love my little dudes in their little plane. I finished the first campaign and am now working on the US one.

Although it might not have looks. It has the game-play.

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)

Better than space crew....so far

Very good game will highly recommend

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!

good, gam,e, just is sad when u die

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

really fun game a lot of mission and way to upgrade your plane

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
