That’s part of the challenge, of course, and it gets easier as you get used to things, but the over-sensitivity of the cursor and the fact that it takes a good five seconds to tag an enemy fighter makes it more difficult than it needs to be. Everything is pretty expensive, but between rewards and side missions, money never ends up being a problem. Replacing dead crew members means starting back at level 1-until later in the game, at least-with no skills, and if your plane gets destroyed, you’ll have to re-purchase your upgrades too. You’ll want to survive, too, since failure is brutal. Some are purely aesthetic, like different colored jackets, but others-especially with the plane-significantly boost your chances for success and survival. You can’t do much at first as far as outfitting your crew or upgrading your plane, but after a few successful missions, the upgrades start pouring in. They don’t have any effect on the crew member’s abilities, but it’s a cute way to make for a more immersive experience by reminding you of the nature of Britain’s military forces at the start of the war.

Yet it’s not perfect, and the flaws in the game’s individual components mean that you won’t finish your campaign without a great deal of unnecessary frustration. The game provides a good challenge on its own, and the way the mechanics work overall mean you’ll always want to try the next mission, no matter how badly the last one turned out. Runner Duck’s World War II-era strategy game Bomber Crew offers a unique chance to take almost complete control of some fictitious British bombing operations, as you manage your crew and outfit your plane to ensure your success.
