Bomber Crew Review

Bomber Crew is a cartoon-styled World War 2 strategic bombing simulator. While it avoids the grim reality of these missions, it connects players to the extreme difficulty and danger of making it out and back again.

It’s a complex game because of the different aspects to master. There is the navigation and action of the bombing raids themselves. There is the wider strategy of managing which crew does what to keep your plane in the sky. Then there is bombing the target and managing fuel and damage of the plane.

You upgrade, customise and name your aircraft and can even add your own nose art. You have to get the right balance of reliability and fire-power is crucial for successful bombing raids. Then you recruit and train your crew from countless possible recruits. As you name, dress and train these individuals you build a team you will rely on. But if any of them should die during a raid, then you loose them for good. The bombing raids themselves mean you need to navigate through enemy fighters, flak and other deadly hazards to reach your target.
