Is Bomber Crew worth it?
Bomber Crew is worth it if…
- you like juggling several jobs at once and making snap calls under pressure
- you enjoy roguelite runs where a loss stings but pushes you to try again
- you have a soft spot for WW2 aviation, even in a cartoon coat of paint
- you want short missions you can fit in one sitting, with unlocks between them

A crew you train, dress and mourn
You pick your crew from procedurally generated recruits, each with their own name, skills and backstory, then train them into specialists: pilot, navigator, engineers, gunners, bombardier. You can personalise how they look, and they earn experience mission after mission until the green recruit from the first flight is a veteran you rely on. Then permadeath kicks in. Lose a crew member and they are gone for good, no reload, no second chance. Losing a whole bomber hurts more, but the game gives you a new plane and a fresh crew with some experience, so a wipe is a setback rather than the end of everything.
Everything on fire at once
In flight, you juggle the whole plane: fuel, ammo, hydraulics, engines, oxygen, all in a physics-based bomber that reacts to every hit. Fighters swarm from every angle, flak thumps up from below, weather closes in, and your crew will not do much without an order. You tag enemy fighters so your gunners can engage, keep the engineer patching leaks, and hope the navigator can still find the target. A typical moment: an engine catches fire, someone is bleeding, the ammo is running out, and you still have to reach the objective and drop the bombs. Getting home in one piece, or bailing the crew out with parachutes when you cannot, is where the tension lives.
