Bomber Crew

Games about flying and shooting down enemies have been around for the longest time, and they've always been pretty popular. The Runner Duck team has recreated the experience of flying on the World War II bombers pretty well in Bomber Crew, by also building a lot of tension and intense experiences. But they also keep it a pretty fun arcade game.

However as we’ve mentioned before, we’ve seen the basic idea of this game over and over again throughout the evolution of gaming. So, what makes this one special? Is it a unique and different experience? Well, let’s talk about this game and what could make it stand out for gamers.

About the game

In Bomber Crew we take on the role of flying a bomber and fighting off our enemies, but one of the main things that make it special is that the game allows for a lot of customization. And not only in the aesthetic department but there's also a lot of ways to improve, and enhance your bomber.

You can choose to equip your plane with machine guns and enhance the engines to make your plane faster and more potent. Of course, you can also install all kinds of gadgets, and all of these will help you in your mission. Be smart and choose the equipment that suits you the best. Sure there are also the traditional customization options like painting your plane, uploading your own designs, and having them represent you in a more personal way.

In combat, it is important to stay active and keep an eye out for your surroundings. But you also have to manage your resources well while on air, as these missions can be quite hard to complete if you immediately deploy all your ammunition and equipment.

Customization is key

While the gameplay itself is pretty complete, it can remind us of other games like Starfox Adventures. By thematic and context, it is similar to classic games like Sky Mission from 1992. Even though the customization seems to be just a basic and simple thing you can do in a game, it is especially important here for historical context.

In World War II, pilots used to customize their planes to represent them on a personal level. It was really an iconic thing to see all the planes painted in such an individual way. It was pretty much an artistic expression and a pretty iconic sight. In this sense, the game does a pretty realistic representation of the planes from back then. And it is also fun to customize your bomber however you want.

Pros:

• Fun mechanics
• Nice art style
• Excellent customization
• Fun gameplay

Cons:

• The visuals can be too childish
• Weird mix of realism and cartoon
• Odd learning curve
