Bomber Crew Review (Necksus)

It plays like 3D FTL during WWII, but with no full pause function (it has a slowdown mechanic akin to using bullet time to issue orders; at no point does it freeze combat) and a lot more nuance.
You can also customize and rename your crews more akin to XCOM than to FTL, which seems to treat them more as disposable skill soaks. You can certainly treat your crew that way, but it's not recommended to succeed here.
The 3D model of the bomber actively disintegrates as the bombing run proceeds. Things can QUICKLY get out of hand. It's mechanically simple, but difficult to master as some systems become more integral to your success than others. Trying to fix the oxygen, but you need radar to stay alive? Might want to reconsider ordering your mechanic to the power grid over the O2 tanks.
My advice: stack some first aid kids and have a couple multiclass medics. you'll need them.
Overall, I think this is a fantastic game, especially for casual players who still like a challenge, and well worth the sale price I paid for it.
