I have recently started playing bomber crew and got completely obliterated. But I did the exact same with the new plane and new crew by having a slightly different strategy. It’s awesome how much a single mission can change with slightly different tactics.
It would be cool if you could unlock and choose different models for your spacecraft to make your ship design more diverse. I played Bomber Crew and that was definitely something that me and some others players wish they had, like how in the USAAF DLC campaign you were using a different type of bomber. Anyways, great review! I am certainly going to purchase this and give it a try.
Also, I want to express my appreciation that your reviews come after DOZENS of hours of gameplay. There are too many hot takes, first impression reviews, and generally uninformative "reviews" on RUclips across so many games. This channel really is a breath of fresh air.
Thank you, my friend. Those are kind words indeed. I do make First Impressions videos, but I only usually do that with games I have had no chance to see until release day.
Glad to hear it. If you never make any major errors, I think you can keep going from strength to strength... because you can upgrade your ship, your crew skills and your equipment and keep improving as the game gets harder. But if you get sloppy in even ONE mission... you go back several spaces and everything gets really tough, really fast. The trick, I learned to my cost, with Space Crew, is you really have to use EVERY SINGLE THING in your arsenal. Need to make repairs before the next wave? hang back near the jump gate with your finger on the "Engage" button while fixing yourself up. Need a second to recover shields and health in the middle of a fight? Use evasive manoeuvres. Can't use evade because it's still recharging? Use stealth. Still need more time? Call for fighter assistance. You need to use absolutely everything and everyONE to their full potential, or you're gonna get owned.
Can take crew from bomber crew neat Forgot use space suit Only problem is front need use keyboard Don't use fast routes if you noobie Like purge switch Escape pods and like playability
Game tip: you can purge sections 1, 2, and 3, for easy fire retardance. Crew in those sections who are shut in their turrets will not be affected by the vacuum. You can also purge these sections to quickly get ride of enemy boarders.
Awesome review man! Love Bomber Crew, glad to see this one has a few more bells and whistles. Still need to beat the last expansion on BC but after that it looks like I’ll be getting my crew killed in space! 😂
Excellent! Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing future comments. I wish I could make more reviews than I do, but they take a lot of time so I only do a few every year.
@@KnightsArcade I understand that mate. I write reviews myself and a lot of people (myself included) underestimate the time investment per game. Keep at it man! Even if it is only a few a year :)
The one thing that will totally kill my interest in this game is if it doesn't have a pause option. No way I'd be able to get used to managing all these crew and situations without a Pause and issue commands while paused, system.
@@KnightsArcade I think you might have misconstrued what XWolven meant, the devs said there's no active pause feature right? Like we had in FTL that allowed us to pause and still give commands/assess things? I'm going to assume you mean there's a literal pause when you hit Esc/options but I don't think that's what XWolven meant. Like me, I want an FTL-like pause feature not a slow time feature.
What the overall map size in this game? I know it probably doesn't even matter but I'm interested in the art style of the game and would like to know the variety of different planets, I've seen a gas giant and a black hole, and also a normal star too but is there anything else? Or do you keep going back to the same areas with the same planets and stars?
I honestly don't really know, because... the game is incredibly hard, so progressing outside the solar system is tough. But there are 3 main chapters, and 95% of what you see in this video is from just the first chapter. The chapters are The Solar System... Deep Space... and the Phasmid Nebula. Almost everything in this review is from the Solar System chapter. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but yeah... there's a lot more to the campaign than there was to Bomber Crew. A lot more variety in general.
@@KnightsArcade ahh that seems fair enough! I'm a no man's sky player so coming across a new planet frequently is very satisfying to me so I was just wondering how the layout of this game would be, cheers for the info though great review! And cheers for responding too that's awesome! Liked and subbed 👍
I like it but I cannot recommend it unless you are good at this kind of games, I'm doing just fine buy my gf cant get past a few missions and had issues with the tutorial, since the difficulty sometimes is just crazy.
Yes, the difficulty is insane at times. I'm having real trouble with it. I have mentioned a game's difficulty in reviews I've made of other games, but I try to avoid mentioning how hard a game is, if I can, because you get so much hate from basement heroes who can't wait to tell the world they're better than you. Thanks for watching.
Also... they announced yesterday that they are working on an update which will ad a few things to make the game slightly easier. I'm making a short video about it now.
Excellent review, I think you've done the game justice by it. Hopefully the devs can keep future crews from pulling a pilot with the skinny-spacewalking. Naturally my dude faceplants dead just as he goes out the door. Ah memories.
I came here on the fence about this game, and I'm leaving still on the fence. I have Bomber Crew and was hopeful that Space Crew would expand more on it, but all I'm really seeing is a few extra features and while it will stay on my steam wishlist, it'll stay where it is at the bottom. I'm not criticizing your review, you did well to make it 13 minutes by the looks of it, I just feel that having learned more about the game that I'm no closer to wanting to spend money on it or abandoning it
Lol. I can understand that. It is basically Bomber Crew with a few more features. Still not really enough variety to make a HUGE difference, but I do think it's a slight improvement. Thanks for watching.
Great review. Ashame they did not include co-op or more modular ships:) still impressive by two devs.. just like falconeer which just got one dev (like stardew valley)
Not likely. Other reviewers don't tend to do that sort of thing, I don't think. More likely it's just people who didn't like my voice. Or the wind was too bright that day and they just wanted to troll someone. It happens.
Have they turned it into a proper rogue like? That was the biggest problem with Bomber Crew. No permanent fail state so you couldn’t “lose.” Making the game a test of patience not skill.

Yeah, there's a lot of replaying missions in this one. I'm finding it much harder than Bomber Crew was.
Powerless weapons are the best. They saved me many times in emergencies. Btw, I played on hardest diffeculties.

That would definitely be very cool. Hope you enjoy the game.
Thanks for watching.
All the best things happen on spaceships
Me overloading reactor every time:indeed my friend
Space is cool. Deadly, dangerous, empty, cold and dark... but cool. 😂
Thanks for watching.
This is a good review
Cheers, Bubble. Are you in it? I can't remember what clips I put in now.
Fantastic review. Was great catching some of the streams you did so far on the game, too. Entertaining stuff all round.

I am downloading this as I watch your video it’s 7.99 right now on the Nintendo Eshop. Thanks for speaking on many of the mechanics.
My pleasure. I hope you enjoy the game.
Your review was great. I like how you get straight to the meat and potatoes of a review.
Thank you very much. That's always nice to hear.
I've just finished Phase 1 of the campaign and I haven't lost a single crew member. I think that my Bomber Crew skills have moved to Space Crew lol

Only problem is front need use keyboard
Don't use fast routes if you noobie
Like purge switch
Escape pods and like playability
I think I've said this before but I love your phrasing for your reviews
Thank you very much, Weevil. I appreciate that.

Free on Steam right now.
I just beat bomber crew, now is the perfect time for this
How do you beat bomber crew
Awesome review man! Love Bomber Crew, glad to see this one has a few more bells and whistles. Still need to beat the last expansion on BC but after that it looks like I’ll be getting my crew killed in space! 😂
Thanks. Yes... there will be a lot of dying in space! 😆
Great review mate. Really hit all the key points I wanted to hear about. Subscribed and looking forward to future reviews.
Excellent! Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing future comments.

@@PsychoGoldVideos Thank you very much for the kind words, my friend. I checked out your channel and dropped you a sub.
@@KnightsArcade Appreciate that man (I don't put reviews up there currently) but in the future that may yet happen!

Well, you'll be pleased to hear that it DOES have a pause option.
I've had to use it many times. Especially during livestreams.

@@TheJonesy1991 Ah... I see. Well in that case, no... there is no ACTIVE pause. You can't issue commands while paused.
Ok I get your point but I thinks thats point shit going crazy but at lest they gave you slowmo just to make it easier
@@jmoneytripp1815 Slow mo can work. something to help with my slower reaction times

@@KnightsArcade is it harder than Bomber Crew? Because sometimes Bomber Crew can get stupid difficult IMO, although it is part of the fun.
@@Estupitastico In my opinion... yes, it was harder than Bomber Crew.
Excellent review, I think you've done the game justice by it. Hopefully the devs can keep future crews from pulling a pilot with the skinny-spacewalking. Naturally my dude faceplants dead just as he goes out the door. Ah memories.
LMAO! I'm having a lot of fun playing it on stream with you guys in the chat. You give me a lot of entertainment.

Thanks for watching.
Are there cyborg or android crew that don't need air? Stuff like that would be cool.
Nope
Unfortunately not. You can make your crew look alien, but it doesn't affect their stats at all.
looks like a 3d ftl, but less.... brutal
I dunno... it's pretty brutal. I've never played FTL, so I couldn't comment, but from what I understand, yes... it's similar.
Great review. Ashame they did not include co-op or more modular ships:) still impressive by two devs.. just like falconeer which just got one dev (like stardew valley)
Falconeer!! Thank you for the reminder. I keep forgetting that's releasing soon. Can't wait to play it.
Is this basically like FTL? I loved FTL
I've actually never played FTL, but I understand it's similar, yes.
It's just like Runner Duck's previous game, but... in Space.
@@KnightsArcade So logically we can conclude that it is like FTL Bomb Crew :)
@@ScarLuka i think it is like FTL and XCOM, sometimes it feels like EVE online to me
@@walmartian then I guess I will have to play it :)
its free right now
Don't forget to like the video
Great review!
What is up with the 5 dislikes? Other reviewers, maybe?
Not likely. Other reviewers don't tend to do that sort of thing, I don't think.
More likely it's just people who didn't like my voice. Or the wind was too bright that day and they just wanted to troll someone. It happens.
Well, I sure blew a tire on that one. 😋
Would be fun to play it in my phone.
Yeah but it will be very weird with the controls
Knight 👏 Review 👏
Cheers, buddy.
Haha check me out shooting away! Space age Rambo! Great stuff SK! :)
Could have made this for my phone to save money.
Oh no its that annoying music from the Data Is Beautiful graphs
Is that music used a lot somewhere? Can you send me a link?
Have they turned it into a proper rogue like? That was the biggest problem with Bomber Crew. No permanent fail state so you couldn’t “lose.” Making the game a test of patience not skill.
Unfortunately not. It's pretty tough, but that just means you need more patience to keep replaying the missions until you pass them.
THIS GAME IS A COMPLETE SCAM. JUST BOUGHT FOR SWITCH DOES NOT UPDATE!!! STUCK ON VER. 1.0.3!!!
They prob haven’t released the update for the Nintendo switch yet
😂😂
40k mod...
So is this like a better/enhanced version of FTL?
I've never played FTL, I've only seen screenshots, but other people who watch my channel have told me that is quite a lot like FTL, yes.
Too much bad humour, not enough game review. Tried skipping through to actual game information and found nothing.
K bye.
