Space Crew Reviews
I’m sure Space Crew will be enjoyable for plenty of people out there, but I spent too much of my time either frustrated with complicated controls or bored by monotonous missions. Space Crew works, but not on the Switch. If you’re still interested in saving humanity from the Phasmids, give it a go on your PC instead.
There’s plenty of fun to be had here, though – as well as stress and sadness – so if you’re looking for a different kind of outer space adventure from your Star Wars: Squadrons and Hardspace: Shipbreakers, you’ve come to the right place. Everything you loved about Bomber Crew is still here, and a little bit more besides.
Reaches for the stars but unfortunately, the controls have a tendency to steer you wrong when you need it the most.
Space Crew has interesting gameplay mechanics and, on a base level, is very fun to play. The action can get frenetic and the mission variety is decent. The problems show up once you’ve been playing for a little while. Recommended Strategy Roguelike set in space that's perfect for short play sessions.
I really wanted to love this game as much as I loved the original Bomber Crew. Sadly, it was not meant to be. At first glance, Space Crew seems to be more of the same, but just after a couple of hours it becomes apparent most of Bomber Crew’s charm is missing, leaving the player with repetitive combat and tons of grind, resulting in a quite monotonous gameplay.

Let me take one step back. There is plenty of fun to be had for the casual gamer in Space Crew, but true enjoyment will come from fans of grinding and developing within the game. If you’re the type of person who loves to tinker and micromanage, pick the game up, you won’t be disappointed.
Space Crew is a strategy indie with a simple and adorable appearance, but with complex and well-built mechanics. The problem is that the title is lost in the presentation of its ideas and ends up delivering a repetitive experience without much space for experimentation. Space Crew could have been much more, but it ends up looking incomplete.

Space Crew is fantastic and insanely good fun, but also can be quite punishing. Whilst some of the missions were challenging, it drove you to do better each time, and with missions that only last about 15-20 minutes, it’s a great game to play in short bursts. Gameplay is super smooth with excellent sounds and space visuals, particularly in missions with asteroid fields.
