Bomber Crew is an exciting, in-depth management sim with a charming style that offsets the occasionally brutal difficulty of keeping your crew alive and trying to hit a target, all in real time. A rewarding upgrade cycle makes some trial-and-error frustration worthwhile, and once you get into the groove you can lose hours to its enjoyable rhythm.

Bomber Crew is a pleasant FTL clone, with a frenetic but rewarding gameplay. It is a little gem that is worth its price.

Underneath innocent, cartoonish visuals you’ll find quite complex mechanics that force you to make tactical decisions and constantly keep you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately at the final stages of the campaign the game becomes unfair and frustrating rather than demanding. [01/2018, p.43]

Maybe not flawless, but most exciting game for sure – it looks like a FTL while doing things differently – and with great success. [Issue#283]

Surprisingly a complex simulator of the crew of the famous bomber. Despite the troublesome control and higher difficulty, the more patient of you can look forward to a truly unique and truly atmospheric gaming experience.

Bomber Crew is a rich strategy sim that gets you into the action quickly. The low poly art style will make more bearable the tremendous death of your crew’s airmen, as your plane falls to pieces around them. As for the repetitive nature of missions, it will either become old hat, or, a necessary grind to get the most out of your plane and deal head on with the game's growing difficulty.

Entertaining management of a flight crew thru military missions, hampered by clunky controls and harsh difficulty spikes.

The problem is the way the game is balanced. Instead of being a cool rogueishlike clicker with interesting busywork and a coherent, connected storyline, it’s balanced like a level-based arcade game where you need to learn the tricks to beat a particular level, with the concomitant arcade mechanism of arbitrary punishment to make the highs more high.
