Hit a certain level and your pilot can also become an engineer or a gunner.

The training of additional skills for all of your crew members takes place after they level up from experience in the field. For example, you can train a bomber on your plane to also have experience and knowledge to also be an adequate killing machine while on the turrets. Your crew members will do most of the work for you if they are healthy and able, as well as being positioned in their correct job on the plane. The game mechanics require the player to aim their position over points of interest. When I became aware of my radar and observed it for attacking aircraft, I was able to forget about the control scheme entirely and enjoy the game. I didn't necessarily stay on this thought for as long as I noticed how simple the game mechanics really were and I was just over-analyzing the very first thought that came to mind. Before the training mission turned into an actual mission of survival, I began to study the control scheme and ponder on how much more accessible a mouse and keyboard combo would have been. You start out with a training mission that turns into a fight for your life, which accelerated my ability to manage several crew members. And despite the notably indie-looking artstyle, Bomber Crew packs a lot of gameplay punch in a surprisingly in-depth (yet charming) package.īomber Crew is a strategy game where you micro-manage an entire crew guiding a warplane to and from the battlefields of 1942. Spending some time entertaining the crowds on the Steam platform, Bomber Crew has now entered into console territory for some more dogfighting and strategic warfare.
