About This Game Take command over RAF during the WW2 history turning point, the Battle of Britain! The goal of the game is to defend Great Britain against German bombing raids. The game has two distinct gameplay experiences where: * The player manages war production and squadron placement * The player organizes patrol routes and tactics Once combat is initiated the player can lead their squadrons to attack waves of German bombers utilizing simple touch or mouse commands. The game follows the historical timeline very closely, but at the same time - the game mechanics are easy to learn (yet hard to master) and it provides great entertainment for both seasoned and novice players. * There are 8 aircraft types in the game - including of course the famous Supermarine Spitfire! * Every pilot is earning his own experience - witness your rookies become aces! * Manage the British war machine - decide what should be built and where * Fight epic air battles! * Lead English, Polish, Czechs, Canadian and New Zealands squadrons to fight for freedom! The game implements ‘German Command AI” which results in each campaign playing out differently. No two games will ever be the same. 7aa9394dea Title: The FewGenre: StrategyDeveloper:BlackMoon DesignPublisher:BlackMoon Design Release Date: 18 Jun, 2014 The Few Free Download [PC] This game is so close to being good, but it falls short in a few ways that by themselves aren't a big deal, but together create a poor experience. Pros - A unique experience in PC gaming (for the most part).Interesting management aspectsCons -Poor and unresponsive UI and controls.There were 71 squadrons in the Battle of Britain. Of those, 2 were Polish. Yet in the 3 times I played the campaign, all my squadrons were polish, with polish names and voices. This is INCREDIBLY unimmersive. Oh and weird, the developers are Polish. I'm all for remembering their sacrifice and effort in the battle of britain, but not at the expense of the British.The game is not well explained to you. There's a short annoying tutorial, then some hints.The actual tactics of the game aren't that interesting, and can tend to be a little micromanagey. Overly so. The best tactics are all cheesey and gamey.It's repetitive. Fighting the same kind of enemies over and over.The sounds...mostly okay except the voices. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn them down in battle, so it's just listening to bad polish voice acting.I wanted to like this game, but ultimately I didn't. For a better Battle of Britain experience try the board game - RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940.. Really enjoying this game so far. Its a simple game to get into but the challenge it provides is what is going to keep me coming back. If you don't know what this game is about, here's a synopsis: You assume the command of the RAF during the Battle of Britain and are in charge of creating, maintaining, and deploying squadrons of Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft to defend airfields, cities, and installations inside of England to halt the Luftwaffe from gaining air dominance.. Im a great follower of the Battle of Britain and well i played this for a few hours to get a good feel for the game.Pros..Nice ideaGood musicGreat customisation tool for pilots. (change names etc) ConsQuickly gets boring and repetativeQuote "Great customisation tool for pilots" but they aint around long enough to enjoy it!Too hard at times (bombers are always 100% accurate) Not enough to do during game..No auto patrol feature (gets monotonous dragging mouse around screen then they take off on their own and will fall out sky if u leave them :\/) Hardly any planes to choose (could have added Blenham bomber, Fairy battle and Paul Defiant might have made things a bit better)The first half hour i admit was fun,...getting used to the controls fight screen and map.... then after naming pilots then watching them all die in blink of an eye....things start to get tough.... nothing wrong with that... makes the game more challenging... but theres just not enough to do to make the challenge fun...you only have a max of 8 planes..u can use... and no matter how many squadrons you have ...in a fight you can only use 1 (max 8 planes) ... after first few fights its the same thing over and over.... repetative is an understatment and 2 different planes (Hurrican and Spitfire) that (in the game) fly exactly the same...just better shield on hurricane... but you hardly notice the difference.The map screen... well apart from biting your nails watching the \u00a3 meter rise painfully slowly there aint a lot to do... you can train your 8 pilots per squadron (takes a while to get a squadron and then train them fully) although you can fast forward time which helps. Then before you can buy a radar station bomber formation apear out of nowhere and bang your squadron gone... If that aint annoying enough... your airbase is probably gone too..(or seriously damaged and unoperational) ........dont get me wrong games should be challenging....but make it fun at the same time... lets face it the game aint historicaly accurate so who cares if you pull a few strings and make changes for the better. One more annoying thing is...when your base has been hit and nearly destroyed you might still have a few pilots there... i made the mistake of buying 6 planes for them,..thinking i would then spend money repairing base...... but then the squadron disbanded i lost the base the squadron and all the planes id just bought! costing over \u00a350k which takes a long time to get!! The idea of the game was thought up well...and could have been a much more fun experience but as it stands ....i cant recommend this it not even for the low price of \u00a35.50. This is a challenging strategy game. It is well put together with very few bugs. If you like a military strategy style of game you will not be disappointed by "The Few". If you're a casual FPS style of gamer look elsewhere: You have to be patient and think to win this game. Even then its no guarantee. Solid Effort 8\/10.. As it stands I heavily advise AGAINST buying this game for several reasons.1 - You can lose all of the pilots in a squadron simply because they're too terminally stupid to make the decision to bail out themselves and it's often an impossible task to hit the bail out button the game gives you in the *tiny* window of time available to you to do so while the pilot's plane is under fire.2 - Withdrawing is not an option, say your pilots have stripped away the fighter cover for a flight of bombers but are in no shape to carry on the fight? Tough. It's very much the stalinist approach of victory or death, if you go back to the map you're left at the tender mercies of the auto-resolve system (which will happily let four bombers wipe out a squadron) or you're forced to fight on and risk losing all of your pilots to problem #1. (Yeah having to tell your guys to bail out is irritating.)3 - No big wings. The 'big wing' was a tactic in which several RAF squadrons would group together to engage enemy attacks together, it took time to set up but it helped even out the numbers against massive German formations. This game does not let you do that and instead expects you to fight off dozens of planes with just eight of your own which leaves you at the mercy of problem #2 wherein you cannot withdraw should carrying on the fight become foolish which is particularly infuriating if you have another squadron or two nearby that could take over.4 - The voiceacting is terrible, I had to turn off the audio for the tutorial guy just because I couldn't stand the sound of the mans voice.5 - If you accidentally create a squadron at your airfield when that airfields squadron is in the air, tough luck. Doesn't matter that this new ghost squadron has no planes, you can't delete it, move it or do anything with it and you now have as many as eight rather expensive flying machines in the air that can't land because the airfield 'is full'. Despite the ghost squadron again, having no planes.If you have your heart set on this game wait a few weeks or even a month or two for some patches to come in, otherwise you're setting yourself up for an absolute pain in the rear.. Really enjoying this game so far. Its a simple game to get into but the challenge it provides is what is going to keep me coming back. If you don't know what this game is about, here's a synopsis: You assume the command of the RAF during the Battle of Britain and are in charge of creating, maintaining, and deploying squadrons of Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft to defend airfields, cities, and installations inside of England to halt the Luftwaffe from gaining air dominance.. Ignore all positive reviews for this game. The devs have clearly given up with no patches coming out for 3 whole years. The game resembles a WW2 strategy\/management game, but has more in common with a tower defense game. Firstly, you get a factory to build either: A) Spitfires and Hurricanes, B) Airfields, C) RADAR, D) Other Factories, and E) AA Guns. Thats it. You place the building wherever you want, intercept German bombers with the fighters, get taxes from cities that haven't been bombed by the Germans to supply the factory(ies) to build more resources in a game that becomes bland and unfun in LESS THAN 2 HOURS. The combat is just awful. In real life, the Brits employed a tactic called 'The Big Wing' where a massive amount of British planes flew together to compensate for the overwealming German numbers. In this game, you get a max of 8 planes who can face up to 20 German bombers AND fighters. Bombers have this weird attack, going head-on with your fighters, which cripple your own, but the bomber comes out just fine, with it's one machine gun destroying your plane while your eight seem to have no effect. A dogfight in this game is just 2 fighters flying in a circle trying to shoot each-other. Thats it. Often, your pilots get shot down, and you need to babysit the 'Bail Out' button, because you have less than a second to bail one or more of your pilots out, or else they die. They simply cannot bail out themselves, for reasons unknown, so you need to stare intently on the list of pilots you have, waiting for that red button to appear. The game has no sense of actual skill involved, so you start using your precious planes like how the Russians did because that seems to be the only tactic to work, rushing them. Theres only one good thing to come out of the game, and it isnt even a part of the gameplay itself, its the awesome, rare background for your steam profile, which I use alot and will continue to do so because the artstyle rocks. But in conclusion, this game sucks, horrendously. It isn't even worth 3 bucks to be honest, and I can't understand why people preach of how good this game is. It's on the bottom of the steam store for a reason, and it should stay that way.DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Fantatsic little strategy game for less than \u00a36. Its a smart but simple take on the Battle of Britain where you take on the task of defending Britain from the Luftwaffe in 1940. The game is essentially in two parts, the strategic map where you purchase and place factories, AA, airstrips, order planes and recruit pilots. You also direct you squadrons on sorties on this map in pausable real time. But when a squadron meets an enemy squadron, the map swaps to a tactical view, where you can control planes by "drawing " their flight route. As pilot become more expirienced they are more accurate and need less micromanaging (actually performing better than I could if in direct control). You need to try and save your pilots as training takes time, and the loss of experince can be devistatinging to your war effort, so the bail out button should be at your fingertips - just dont bail out over the sea! If you do well, you get more cash to spend on replacing planes, and expanding your defences. If you let your cities get bombed your income drops. Love the ability to edit the pilot names, which makes it sadder when they go down in flames (or even sadder when they are bombed\/strafed when still on the runway!) Any bugs that may have existed once have been resolved, as far as I could see, having just finished the short "Blitz" 10 day campaign. Ready to see if I can survive the 50 day one now.....
