Boat Crew
Boat Crew
Boat Crew is an action-packed singleplayer game that is all about leading your men to bring out the best in them in the field of battle. You’re given charge of a
PT boat, one of many, in the Pacific, and sent against the Imperial Japanese Navy in the forefront of the Pacific War.
Sometimes through bravery and sometimes through guile, you’ll take on ever stronger enemy forces and come out on top. Manage your people and your resources; beg, borrow, and steal, and equip yourself from a wide variety of tools available to bring your campaign to a victorious conclusion.
Prioritize your acquisitions, make connections, and customize your ship’s capabilities to your taste. Above all else, care for your crew; Experienced sailors are in short supply in the largest naval front in the history of mankind. Sometimes the best option is to live to fight another day.
Key Features
Crew Management: In Boat Crew, you are not the boat herself but her commander, with all the associated responsibilities and privileges. Most tasks will be delegated to your trusty crewmen, and it’s up to you to make sure they’re up to the task.
Jury-Rigged: With distances vast and ships spread thin, you’re afforded a substantial degree of autonomy. Anti-tank guns and light mortars are only some of the weapons you can add to your boat that would be considered unusual, and there is ample room for innovation. The only two rules are, make sure you are still floating, and get the job done!
Tested in Battle: Training teaches a man to keep his head down, but its experience that teaches him when he can start handing out the hurt. Crack troops are far more lethal than green recruits, and will be capable of abilities otherwise unavailable to less experienced crewmen.
Live and Teach: Beyond being good fighters, your veterans also have much to teach to their replacements. Experienced soldiers will set a baseline crew experience and will impart their lethality on any replacements given some time.
Fortunes of War: War has luck of its own, and industrialized total war is a different story entirely. Despite all caution and planning, some of your most trusted members will be lost at some point. It’s up to you and your skills as the commander to find appropriate replacements and train them in time for larger engagements.
Applied Science: Few things inspire innovation as much as war does, and sometimes you may find yourself pressed to be the first to employ a new technology in the field. Following the expansive tech tree will dramatically improve your crew’s combat prowess; just make sure to prioritize appropriately.
Grand Campaign: Fight numerous surface actions that range from night raids and coastal fire support to search and destroy. Your success in these battles will improve your clout and your crew’s experience, increasing the options available to you in future battles and providing more daring operations.

Steel Fury Kharkov 1942
The game’s geriatric in its graphics and some of its UI, but it still looks and plays enjoyably enough. I try not to negatively judge something because it’s old. I’m in my mid-50’s and I don’t think myself less because my body is aging. Actually quite the opposite, I’m a much better person now than I ever was. Steel Fury Kharkov 1942 is like that. The youthful flesh has wrinkled and aged but underneath is some solid gameplay.
I own IL-2 Tank Crew (I love IL-2:GB) and Steel Fury should be the example of how to make it more enjoyable. Tanks with infantry support, historical missions, sounds of war all around. SF feels like you’re in an important battle to fight in the “Meat Grinder” in and around Kharkov.

*** Negative Review…..BUT ***
Firstly, as it stands now, bought on Steam by people wishing to jump in and run the sim immediately by clicking play as soon as the game is installed, for modern PC’s - the answer is no, avoid like the plague, unless you are using a PC of similar vintage. The game was developed for an earlier generation of machines and you’ll encounter all of the usual issues :- Screen resolution locked to minimum setting, graphics card not recognised, not enough virtual memory and so on.

WW2: Bunker Simulator
This game is amazing but there are a few things i’d like for you guys to improve on. First would be for logs to spawn more often, I’ve ran around the map multiple times over multiple days and haven’t been able to gather any more. Next what would be nice would be the ability to switch sides on a separate save option so you can play each side without having to start new. It would be cool to have a few more guns and the ability to build sandbag walls inside the bunker, also for the sandbags, if possible to make it so the enemy doesn’t merge through them(if possible). What would also be nice is a machine gun that you can mount or set up where you would want to for defense and maybe be able to have the option for sandbag placement a little fore user friendly. I’m shure there are a few more things things that I could list but those are some of the higher thing on the list. Other than that just general bug fixes and glitches would be nice… Oh yeah and the glitches at the end of missions when there are no more enemy’s but it says there are and won’t let you sleep is pretty annoying. Thanks so much, I really enjoy this game and would love to see it progress beyond it’s limits into something really amazing.

================================= EDIT =================================
After the recent update, i restarted with a new save. so far i havent got ANY bugs. There is still a few things to improve and add to the game but it is totally playable and very enjoyable.
=======================================================================
For 6hrs of gameplay i maybe have 1h30-2h of reloading morning game save because of bugs occuring.
It is a fairly good game but the amount of bugs for now is just breaking the fun. I believe the devs will repair them asap and make this game a great game.

BattleRush
This game is not the kind of game you jump into. Most people jump in thinking it’s just a shooter, not noticing the loot system or how it works. Since there is no real tutorial, I can help with one. The starting guns are mediocre, go look for semi auto rifles and smg’s in nearby buildings. Observe the different ammo types and make sure to only carry ammo for your weapons. You start off with an axe, go chop down some trees, you get 50 xp for every tree you chop down. Wood is an important resource, but not the most important. After you have aquired enough wood for a tent and a box, find a nice out of the way spot to put it in, look on the map and avoid locations of importance (marked with white icons on the map). After finding a good spot to camp, make the tent (mobile repawn point) and box, put all of your important items like gas, oil, spare parts, and metal in the box, the tent can store objects but can be opened by anyone, friend and foe alike. The box is locked and can only be opened by you. If you have leveled up, go and hunt the enemy. If you die, you can now spawn as the assault class. Go take that pickaxe to a rock or 5 and get the next 2 most valuable resouces. Stone and mineral are extremely valuable. Stone can be turned into metal, you can turn metal into spare parts if you didn’t find any. Wood can be turned into oil, and mineral to ammo. You’ve almost got it. Now with your metal, spare parts and oil, you can make a tank! Tanks need lots of fuel and ammo. Ammo is made from mineral and metal, so start picking away. Pay attention to the ammo type of the tank you wish to make in the tab menu. Make the right ammo or you’ll be regretful. Make sure to never unlock your vehicles. NEVER. Take your tank over to the nearest gas station (white jerry can on map) and all you have to do is stay in the tank next to the pumps. You take your tank to the enemy base, have taken damage, and are low on ammo. Don’t die yet, drive back to your camp or the factory. A malet (“molot”) and repair box can fix the damage. And you already know how to get ammo. Now you are ready to die an national hero. Get out there and win!

Love the game so far ive played for around a week now. slowly got the hang of the building which now i know how to do. few bugs that need to be sorted including:
GUI Mistakes : (Your Team)- You have spelt (yuor team) and (allies) - you have spelt (allieds)
Biome bugs: stone and trees these do not vanish when other people cut or mine. so when you go to mine or cut you do not get recources.
Buildings: you are easy trapped in by your team mates ive seen this on countless occassions.
lag: is understandable 100 players in a big map will cause this so is no the devs fault. its not to bad.

Bomber Crew
Addictive! If you get all the DLC (you should) then you have two campaigns (with additional RAF missions added) plus sudden death competitive solo gameplay. In the RAF campaign you control a 7-person Lancaster bomber crew over Europe. In the USAAF campaign you control a 9-person B-17 crew (they left out the co-pilot as B-17s have 10 crew standard) in the Mediterranean. You don’t directly fly the plane but rather give orders to the various crew members. At the heart of BOMBER CREW is tagging, which involves using a sight to select objectives (planes, map points, ships, towns, airfields, factories, etc.), which causes your crew to steer the plane, shoot at enemy planes, land the plane, etc. Additionally, each crew member has various abilities, depending on training and experience, and each station in the plane has various controls. A campaign involves a series of missions, like recon, bombing, dropping supplies, clearing an area of enemy planes, etc. The difficulty is keeping your cool and making good decisions under pressure, while your plane is being attacked, blown to bits, running out of fuel, trying to find its way through clouds, etc. Some people won’t like it because there’s too much micro-managing, but that’s the essence of BOMBER CREW: managing a World War Two bomber crew! The sudden death gameplay involves scoring as many points as possible before you give up or get blown out of the sky. Frustration and failure comes when you lose crew and/or planes, requiring you to bring in new crew/planes in the middle of your campaign, possibly dooming the whole thing to failure.

Overview
Bomber Crew is a crew management game in which the player has to accomplish bomber objectives in World War Two in an RAF bomber plane. Crew members accomplish tasks by assigning them to stations, with enough skill and enough luck, crew members will accomplish tasks that you hope they will accomplish. Aircraft navigation is accomplished by tagging navigational beacons, some of which appear due to the work of the plane’s navigator, but bombing and recon targets can be tagged (and flown to) when they’re in visual range. Shooting down planes, bombing targets, and photographing recon targets earn XP for the crew, which not only boosts their abilities, but also unlocks special sets of skills within their specialties. Completing mission objectives earns “intel,” which works like experience, but unlocks equipment to purchase for crew members and upgrades for the plane. The player has a choice of military objectives that mostly involve bombing targets, but some missions require air-dropping supplies to friendly forces. Completion of some missions will have a direct effect on the next two missions, and there’s also special missions which (with one exception) are based off of real life British military exploits.

CRSED: F.O.A.D.
This game pains me with how it looks these days. I played for a while before the renaming happened, when it was still called Cuisine Royale with my husband, sister, and a few friends and I really liked it, we had a ton of fun. The game wasn’t perfect by any stretch, but much more playable than it is now.
Honestly, the update does have a few great things going for it. The Siberia Map is absolutely gorgeous and amazing to play in and the new weapons are fun. but still…I can’t recommend this game anymore and I find myself wanting to play it less and less.

Really great dev working on the game and fixing issues. Updated the review to reflect changes.
original review
The main menu isn’t useable with the mouse (as it says in the Steam description) but it SHOULD be.
The controls are not able to be customized so flying the plane is annoying as hell.
There is very little feedback regarding whether you actually hit a target or not.
I really like the premise but the execution is bad.

Project Wunderwaffe
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1108750/Timerunner/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489310/NecroCity/
From the west, the Allies are approaching, and from the east, the Soviet anthem is screamed by hundreds of Soviet throats. The War seems to be over. None of the soldiers remembers the taste of victory anymore, the commanders only give orders to retreat. Chaos and fear dominate the front lines.
Hope? Nobody thinks about it anymore. The General Staff begins to split, for many the fate of the War is already sealed. The last bastion that can give a shadow of a chance and reverse the fate of the War in favor of the Germans is a secret base hidden deep in the mountains that you must manage. Each of the German commanders who are still fighting on the front lines has been ordered to hold their positions and fight to the end to give you as much time as possible to prepare your weapons of ultimate destruction. Welcome to the Project Wunderwaffe management game in which the fate of World War II depends on you.
Building the base
Your adventure in Project Wunderwaffe will start with the construction of a network of underground corridors and rooms. At the beginning, take care of the efficient operations of the base and access to electricity, water and clean air. In the next stage, focus on the elements of the base that will enable you to carry out your task. For this purpose, you will be able to build laboratories, an operations center, spy centers, test rooms, shooting ranges and many different facilities. Extend your base long and wide, build a self-sufficient huge underground complex that can become a real fortress. Remember to use the available space wisely. Building a chemical weapons room next to the shooting range may not be the best solution.
Creating Project Wunderwaffe
The main objective in the game is to build a weapon that is so powerful that it will turn the tide of victory in your favor. For this purpose, it will be necessary to expand the underground base. When you are underground, your options are limited. Create intel teams that will acquire the necessary materials for you to complete the project. Recruit the best scientists into your ranks, send out spies and agents who will be able to provide you with secret enemy projects and crucial information. In Project Wunderwaffe, you will have an opportunity to create weapons that the world has not heard of yet. Will it be a laser firing from orbit around the Earth, invisible land, sea and air vehicles, or perhaps a projectile piercing any armor? Find out all of these in Project Wunderwaffe. You will have an extremely wide range of possibilities to create weapons of ultimate victory. The invention of the nuclear bomb will be just a small percentage of what you can do in your laboratories - let your every invention leave havoc.
Development of the military base
Building a superweapon will require you to efficiently manage the base, acquire and allocate resources. Don’t forget that the German army continues to repel the attacks of the Allies and Soviets. Support them to get more time to work on the superweapon. There are many possibilities to achieve that. You can create for them improved weapons, modified ammunition or unique armor that will allow the German army to charge the enemy. Pay close attention to the map of warfare in real-time. If you see the enemies taking the upper hand on the front lines, support the German army with your latest projects and technology that you’ve invented. Every decision matters in the game world and every choice you make has its consequences.
Defending the base
Even though your base is well hidden deep underground, the Allies and Soviet spies always pose a threat. You are exposed to many perils from outside and inside, therefore, be ready for everything. The intel of your enemies will not wait idly - the Allies and Soviets will do anything to find and destroy your base.
Enemy spies and attempts to bribe your officers will be just some of the challenges you will have to face. Make sure that the German propaganda works at its best and spreads fear about the possibilities of the superweapon you are working on. Time is not your ally. The more fear you sow in the ranks of the enemy, the more time you will have to complete the project. When an air raid alarm sounds in your base, fear, panic and a ruthless fight for survival will begin. Your role will be to control the situation and bring back the base to full operational capability as soon as possible. Remember that you are not safe. Your enemy is waiting for your mistake. Everything is in your hands.
Aircraft Carrier Survival
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1450300/Battleships_Command_of_the_Sea/
Take control of the aircraft carrier, its crew, officers and planes during WW2. Give an example of military prowess by choosing the right equipment, crew, and escort for the mission. Remember that your success will depend greatly on your flexibility in managing the available fleet resources.
Assign a crew and choose what your officers should focus on. Your ship has many stations to man, and proper management will be the key to executing your plan, whether by taking on an enemy directly, sneaking past them, or taking an alternative route to completely avoid contact.
Your damage control teams can handle fire outbreaks, torpedo strikes, hull flooding, enemy bombardment, airstrikes, and suicide attacks from enemy planes, but not all of them at once. Assess which threats need to be dealt with first in order to survive.
Use maneuvers, aircraft, anti-aircraft turrets, and whatever else you can to survive the enemy attack. Make sure that any enemy who dares to attack you will end up in the depths of the Pacific.
Will you risk all lives on the vessel to save the one in need? Do you have what it takes to make a decision on the spot? No matter what, some sacrifices will be necessary and the only source of redemption is victory.
Use intel collected during recon missions to prepare pilots and aircraft for large operations. Target enemy land bases and even their entire fleets. Identify opponents before choosing attack directions and deciding the sequence of targets and maneuvers.
Zombie Army Trilogy
This game, Zombie Army Trilogy, is a game with feature where you get more enemies the more players you have (or friends, for that matter, ofc higher difficulty also means tougher enemies and increased spawn/more numbers of enemies). Most characters would be during the WWI or WWII (I can’t remember), the bonus characters are L4D1 and L4D2 characters where they have 0 voice lines in this game. As for weaps, find it out yourself which one suits you more. I would definitely recommend it since it is a good game to pop the zombies (albeit your enemies are Nazi zombies, you would need to fight the final boss - Hitler in the end but that’s another story).
– Real player with 93.2 hrs in game
This standalone release of Zombie Army includes the first two episodes that were add-ons to Sniper Elite 2, as well as a new third episode with new enemies, more interesting level design and better writing, and is overall a superior experience, though the first two are hardly bad, just very straightforward.
Overall, ZAT is not a flashy or unique game, but it offers solid four-player coop third-person shooting, lots of explosives and multi-kill opportunities, and the ability to play as the cast of the Left 4 Dead games if that floats your boat. And, well, you get to shoot zombie Hitler in the face. I’d say that’s worth the asking price.
