  • The game features good graphics and visually appealing animations, enhancing the overall experience.
  • Firefighting mechanics are easy to pick up, and the game offers a variety of ways to tackle fires and rescue victims, adding depth to gameplay.
  • The demo provides a fun and enjoyable experience, with solid tutorials and quick loading times, making it worth trying before the full release.
  • The water refill mechanic is tedious and frustrating, detracting from the gameplay experience.
  • AI behavior is often poor, with firefighters failing to act autonomously and requiring constant micromanagement.
  • The game lacks realism in character animations and firefighting mechanics, such as the absence of hoses and the inability to ventilate rooms.
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the firefighting mechanics and the ability to plan actions for their crew. However, some criticize the water refill mechanic as cumbersome and note that certain advanced features, like venting rooms, are currently missing but may be added in the final release. Overall, there is optimism for the game's potential as it develops.

    • “The firefighting mechanics are quite easy to pick up, and the commands you give the firefighters allow for a good pause action so you can plan out the orders to your crew. The fires are realistic, and there are different ways to extinguish them and rescue people trapped in toxic fumes, escorting them to safety and the ambulance.”
    • “Even though I can't run the alpha, it looks perfect and has good mechanics based on the feedback from other testers. I'm already looking forward to the official version.”
    • “I like the firefighting mechanics; there are some mechanics missing, such as the ability to vent a room to prevent backdraft, but I suspect this is something we will see once the full game is released.”
    • “I think it could've had so much promise, and it's there, but the entire mechanic of rotating out people to the water truck instead of just using the... oh so handy invention of a fire hose?”
    • “The 'constantly have to refill your water meter' mechanic is dumb.”
    • “As of now, the mechanics are a bit more basic than the fire department games.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is generally engaging, with players appreciating the tutorial and the free missions that provide a glimpse into the full experience. However, issues such as voice line interruptions and gameplay mechanics, like vehicle navigation, detract from the overall narrative immersion. Players express a desire for quality of life improvements to enhance mission execution and character movement.

    • “Voice lines stopped on the last mission, making these issues worse.”
    • “Especially on the first mission.”
    • “The last mission required all of my personnel to move to the other building; I wish there was a way I could make them get in the truck so it's a bit faster, but again this is all quality of life improvements.”
  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their quality, complementing the gameplay effectively, while the tutorial is noted as helpful for understanding the game. Players find the free version of the missions to be a worthwhile experience before committing to the full game.

    • “The graphics are stunning, and the gameplay matches the high quality of the visuals. The tutorial is well-designed, making this free version of some missions a great way to experience the game before purchasing the full version.”
    • “The visuals are breathtaking, creating an immersive experience that draws you into the game world.”
    • “The attention to detail in the graphics is impressive, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly the repetitive task of transporting characters back to the truck, which quickly becomes monotonous.

    • “Having to run all the dudes back to the truck is rather tedious and gets old quickly.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and becomes a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game.”
    • “Repetitive tasks make the gameplay feel monotonous and detract from the overall experience.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users feeling that the game relies heavily on recycled content rather than offering original or engaging experiences.

    • “This is a copy, paste, and cash grab.”
