The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many players noting that missions are repetitive, linear, and often plagued by bugs that disrupt gameplay. While some enjoy the firefighting mechanics, the overall experience is marred by long wait times between missions and a frustratingly scripted approach that limits player choice. Overall, the game has potential but requires significant improvements in mission variety and stability to enhance the storytelling experience.
“The game has a lot of potential; just fix bugs, keep adding new missions, and more features in sandbox mode like time settings, clear selection of missions with photos and titles, maybe a second fire station.”
“There are many fun and exciting missions, and overall this is a great game.”
“The gameplay is really good, and the missions are also good.”
“The only thing I don't really like about this game is that the missions are kind of linear, and you don't have much freedom of choice when there are multiple ways to tackle a situation.”
“Missions are far too few, far too repetitive, and you have to wait an insane amount of time between missions, which is realistic but boring, and all you have left is wandering around the fire station and playing with emergency lights.”
“That said, if the devs ever manage to make the game run smoothly and without game-breaking bugs, the biggest issue remains in my opinion the complete lack of freedom when handling missions.”

The gameplay of the fire-fighting game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the variety of tools and improved mechanics, while others criticize clunky controls and repetitive missions. Although there are fun elements and improvements over the previous installment, many users express disappointment with the overall execution and optimization, suggesting that while the game has potential, it currently suffers from significant gameplay issues.
“Very nice and well put together fire-fighting game. I like the fact you can use 95% of the tools inside the fire trucks, and the gameplay mechanics are nice.”
“The gameplay is really good and the missions are also good.”
“If you liked the first game, better trucks, better gameplay, more calls and locations in the city, city looks better, what are you waiting for???!!!!”
“Clunky game mechanics make it pretty much unplayable, but it's a really good laugh with friends at how this game is somehow worth £27.”
“The gameplay initially seemed more buggy than it actually was, as a lot of stuff is waiting for you to do some action. If you do not know what that is, it can seem like nothing is happening. However, after a few hours of gameplay, it becomes apparent there are some tricks to help the game along, such as switching characters to initiate an action and doing things in particular sequences.”
“The mechanics are clunky, the mission interface is just a pain to use, and the English translation is horrible.”

“There is a lot of work to be done with optimization.”
“It is still a bit rough around the corners and needs some optimization and work.”
“The answer is easy; I can't remember the last time I played a 1.0 release of a game so full of game-breaking bugs and horrible performance issues!”
“Optimization is garbage; my 6800 XT can only reach 45 fps-ish, but most of the time I'm running 29-34 fps.”
