gameplay4 positive mentions
graphics3 negative mentions

  • The game has beautiful graphics and improved visuals thanks to Unreal Engine 5, showing significant improvement over previous titles.
  • The gameplay foundation is solid with interesting mechanics like a career progression system, training courses, and interactive firetruck features, demonstrating great potential.
  • The game provides a realistic firefighting career experience with various station activities and random fire calls, appealing to players interested in simulation.
  • The current Early Access state is highly unfinished with very limited content, repetitive missions, missing textures, numerous bugs, and poor optimization causing crashes and performance issues.
  • Many core gameplay features feel unpolished or incomplete, such as bad hose mechanics, lack of AI collision, awkward camera angles, and missing or glitchy audio/dialog.
  • The high price for the current limited and buggy content leads many players to advise waiting for major updates before purchasing.

    The gameplay offers fun and immersive mechanics with improved graphics, though some aspects like hose controls and siren mechanics have drawn criticism for being awkward or annoying. Bugs related to AI traffic and missions occasionally affect the experience, and players suggest improvements for more interactive features and immersion. Overall, the gameplay shows promise but could benefit from further patches and refinements.

    • “The graphics are absolutely insane compared to the older titles, and some of the new gameplay mechanics feel great.”
    • “Then gameplay is fun, there haven't been any game-breaking bugs, and the performance is good even on highest settings.”
    • “Btw please bring back the gear retrieval mechanics from Emergency Call 2 (manually taking tools and equipment out of the truck). That added so much immersion to the gameplay!”
    • “If you want to play standard, bug-free gameplay right now, I'd suggest waiting a bit with your purchase until more patches and optimizations arrive.”
    • “The hose mechanics are simply disgusting. It's a cool feature, but with how it controls, having your screen move all the time while trying to put out a fire isn't a pleasure.”
    • “I don't like how the siren mechanics work. It just immediately turns on when the mechanics get into the engine and is incredibly loud and annoying.”

    The story aspect is heavily criticized for lacking depth, with only repetitive and limited missions—mainly fire-related—and no substantial narrative. Users feel the game is incomplete and not worth its price, describing it as more of an early alpha with numerous bugs and minimal content. While potential is acknowledged, many advise waiting for future updates before playing.

    • “A leveling system that lets you upgrade your character's skills through missions or by using equipment and training courses available at the station.”
    • “With the skills, I think will be the fix to some issues as you build up your level and stamina.”
    • “The first mission is nice, then the whole day is a waiting simulator.”
    • “☑ no story”
    • “Ignoring the lack of missions, the game just isn't complete.”
    • “Charging the customer €25 for a playable alpha version (cheekily labeled 'early access,' of course, to drive sales)—where parts of the buildings lack textures entirely and nothing more than white polygon blocks, and you can play only three (!) missions (which are just minor trash dumpster fires)—is an absolute joke, and right now, I can only advise against buying it.”

    The game's graphics, powered by Unreal Engine 5, show significant improvement over previous installments with impressive visuals and enhanced gameplay mechanics. While the overall look is highly praised, some optimization issues remain. Performance and bug reduction have also improved compared to earlier titles.

    • “The graphics are absolutely insane compared to the older titles, and some of the new gameplay mechanics feel great.”
    • “With the new engine, it runs much better in terms of performance and graphics.”
    • “The graphics optimization still needs improvement, though there are indeed fewer bugs than the first two.”
    • “Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, the game actually looks quite decent graphically.”
    • “With the new engine it runs much better in terms of performance and graphics.”
  • stability

    The game's stability is currently hindered by frequent freezes, stutters, and bugs, especially near certain in-game interactions, which is somewhat expected given its early access status. While these issues impact gameplay, users acknowledge the potential and feel it's worth playing from the start despite the rough state.

    • “After spending £22 and playing 1.7 hours, no matter how low I set the settings, the game just freezes and bugs out.”
    • “There were freezes of 5-15 seconds near the car when I had to get in.”
    • “I think it's going to be a good game, but it's too early to release it; too empty and buggy (the firetruck just runs through the cars on the road).”
  • optimization

    Optimization has improved with the new engine, offering better performance and graphics compared to earlier versions, though some graphical optimization still needs work. While gameplay is generally smooth and mostly bug-free, there are noticeable performance issues, so waiting for further patches is recommended.

    • “Then gameplay is fun, there haven't been any game-breaking bugs, and the performance is good even on highest settings.”
    • “With the new engine it runs much better in terms of performance and graphics.”
    • “If you want to play standard, bug-free gameplay right now, I'd suggest waiting a bit with your purchase until more patches and optimizations arrive.”
    • “There are also some major performance issues.”
    • “The graphics optimization still needs improvement, though there are indeed fewer bugs than the first two.”
