Title: Bomber Crew Post by: Brolan on August 04, 2019, 09:44:42 AM I stumbled over a little gem called Bomber Crew this weekend. Very much in the same vein as FTL, you manage a crew of a WW2 bomber. The base game has you in a British Lancaster while the USAAF DLC puts you in a B-17.
Like FTL the game is very hard and unforgiving. It also requires a lot of micro management at the start. But some of these tasks can be mitigated by Crew skills and equipment upgrades as you gain experience. I want to stress Bomber Crew is a game and not a sim. Some odd stuff goes on like the bomber turning like a boat and not a plane. The flight engineer will crawl out on the wing in mid-flight to fix issues and the bomber lands in a particularly cringy way at the end of missions. Also the B-17 co-pilot is missing and parachutes for each crew member take many equipment upgrades. But all in all a good purchase. |
