Story and Setting

In Bomber Crew players will find themselves in World War II tasked with managing a bomber crew to success.CopyrightImage. The story is relatively light-hearted, following the crew on several bombing and reconnaissance missions, all of which play out as important events. The cartoony art style of the game provides a different take on what are otherwise some tough and stressful missions.

Gameplay and Mechanics

The combination of strategic planning and real-time management in Bomber Crew present players with a challenging but fair experience that will test their reflexes, as well as requiring some forethought.

Crew Management - recruit, train and level up your crew, assigning them to one of four roles (pilot, navigator, gunner, engineer) in order to master combat from the secondary stations at the back off your vessel. Every crew member has unique skills and can level up.

Mission Planning (Players must prep for the best approach on each individual mission, selection of equipment, bombs and defensive measures) This preparedness is essential for mission success.

In-Mission Strategy: Players control the crew in real-time, taking direct orders when needed to chart navigation, combat, repairs and emergency situations on the fly. Players will also need to prioritize actions and react to threats quickly due the game's real-time setting.

Resource Management - Fuel, Ammo, and Health resources can be in short supply during missions This means that players will need to carefully weigh up when to attack foes, when to avoid conflict and repair damage or preserve resources.

Personalization: The inside of the bomber, as well as it's crew, can be customized with upgrades and aesthetic changes. Additionally, players will be able to upgrade defenses, weapons, and performance on the bomber itself, as well as customize the appearance of both crew and aircraft.

Visuals and Presentation

A glad Cartoony Art makes this game not the same as Other War Based Games. Brilliant bright neons with caricatured character creations provide a visual treat, along with detailed in-bomber views and incredibly realistic weather simulation that truly draw you into the game. The positive tunes and terrific beat sounds aid in pairing with the gameplay — its one harmonious arrangement.

Game Modes
