![]() ![]() So while I don’t actually like the game itself very much, I can appreciate it as a well-crafted expression of a clear design goal: get in your bomber and makey the clicky.Īctually, this more than a clicky clickfest clickerator: it’s a carefully designed combination of historically themed mechanics that all fit together and advance a narrative about how adorable little kids would have been if they had slaughtered 400,000 innocent German civilians with firebombs. I love success - unless it happens directly or indirectly due to communism - and I really appreciate good game design. It’s the best-selling game Curve Digital has ever done, I think, and designers Dave Miller and Jon Wingrove couldn’t care less what some guy like me on the Internet thinks. Which I’m sure doesn’t bother the developer, Runner Duck, nor their publisher, Curve Digital, one bit: the game sold a million bucks worth of merch in two weeks. Crewmembers who don’t, er… progress through a mission will be, um…subbed for by another random selection from the thread.īomber Crew is one of the biggest missed opportunities I have seen for a developer to get me to really like a game. Going down the list of crew members from there, we get fishpockets as the navigator, Eric_Majkut as my radioman, Mr_Bismarck as the tail gunner, Dan_Theman as the top turret gunner, and Left_Empty as the bombardier. RichVR was kind enough to gift me the game, so he gets to be the next crew member on the list, which is the engineer. I am going to randomly choose names from the Quarter to Three thread about the game, entitled “ Bomber Crew – FTL + WWII,” even though it is totally not like FTL in any way except that in both games you are running from the Galactic Federation. Since I’m flying this crate, I am the pilot ( Brooski), but that leaves me with six crewmembers to assign. Keep this in mind when anticipating the price point of the inevitable B-17 DLC or standalone expansion.
