Bomber crew is a very enjoyable game.

I’ll start off by talking about this game's striking aesthetic. I know that many might be put off by bomber crew's whacky, cartoonish approach to WW2, but I honestly appreciate it. Considering the vast majority of recent WW2 games have been shooters that ranged from casual to realistic, it’s refreshing to play a management simulator based during ww2 that doesn’t take itself very seriously while managing to remain respectful to history.

Bomber crew also has some very solid gameplay. Don’t let the game’s artstyle lead you to believe the game’s core mechanics are simple and bland, it’s actually quite the contrary. While it’s not as complex as other management games, there are just enough unique features to provide interesting gameplay scenarios without overwhelming the player. For example, your planes’ navigator has the ability to unlock a skill known as custom navigation, which simply allows you to manually plot the course of your aircraft during its mission, which while basic, can completely change the way you execute certain missions, as you can manually avoid radar posts that the normal AI plotting system would run you right through.

As for the content and its price, I was able to purchase the base game, the USAAF dlc, and the secret weapons dlc for all under 10 dollars total(during a sale obviously). I personally think this is a steal, as the main campaign and USAAF campaign are really fun and I’ve barely touched the secret weapons campaign, yet I’ve already poured 40 hours into Bomber crew.
