The game's story is structured around a series of diverse missions that can vary in length and complexity, but players express disappointment with the lack of free-roam and repetitive mission sequences. While there are reasonable tasks and potential for engaging gameplay, many feel that the experience is hindered by frustrating mechanics and a lack of teamwork elements, making it feel like a lesser version of previous titles in the series. Overall, the narrative aspect could benefit from more variety and improvements to enhance player engagement.
- “Good game; it has diverse missions with good resolutions. Missions can take long or short depending on how thorough you are, and the missions can change drastically if you aren't quick enough to complete certain objectives.”
- “Good variety in missions with various reasonable tasks that are not always obvious from the start.”
- “It would be nice to see more missions added to the main game loop.”
- “I can't recommend this game; it seems like a half-assed story version of the other Emergency Call 112 games. It could use a lot of work, and the NPCs sound like AI.”
- “All the missions you do are in a sequence, meaning if you choose to restart the game once fully completed, you'd do the exact same missions in the exact same sequence. They've completely removed the free-roam ability unlike other Emergency Call 112 games by Aerosoft and Crenetic.”
- “Sadly, this game takes all the fun things out of firefighting games (driving, responding, working as a team, excitement) and leaves you with a gameplay experience full of annoyances (awful stamina bar, space bar to access inventory, the same locations over and over, you're the only one doing anything in every mission).”
