    123 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Into the Flames" is characterized by its ambitious mechanics and variety of firefighting tools, offering a mix of realism and engaging multiplayer experiences. While players appreciate the depth and potential of the game, many note technical shortcomings, a steep learning curve, and a lack of polish that can lead to frustration. Overall, the game shows promise with its solid foundation and ongoing developer support, but it requires further refinement to fully realize its potential.

    • “Released in early 2023, Into the Flames attempts to combine realism with engaging gameplay, appealing to fans of simulation games who crave an authentic firefighting experience.”
    • “Players can operate different types of fire trucks and emergency vehicles, including fire engines, rescue units, and tiller trucks, each offering unique gameplay mechanics and strategic advantages.”
    • “The mechanics of the game are quite good, and being able to control the pressures of the hose and using different pieces of equipment is a really nice feature.”
    • “Well, this is going to be a hard one to review, and my lord was that a long 30 minutes of gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is lackluster; it's mostly pressing 'E' and things happen with very little to no animations.”
    • “Uninspired gameplay mechanics: 'Into the Flames' fails to innovate within the puzzle-adventure genre, relying on tired tropes and predictable mechanics.”
  • graphics
    74 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the overall quality and performance, especially on low-end devices, while others criticize the visuals as outdated or lacking detail. Many users note that while the graphics are not on par with top-tier titles, they are enjoyable and have improved with updates. Overall, there is a consensus that further enhancements could elevate the visual experience significantly.

    • “The graphics are amazing.”
    • “The attention to detail in the game's visuals and sound effects is remarkable, creating an authentic atmosphere that makes you feel like you're right in the midst of a raging inferno.”
    • “For an early access game, the graphics are amazing!”
    • “Abysmal game, horrific graphics, clunky UI, avoid.”
    • “With a lack of development structure and quality control, this game has more bugs than a New Orleans shotgun house, has the graphics quality of something you'd play on Roblox in 2014, and its lack of grammatical fluency makes it feel like some kind of Chinese bootleg software.”
    • “The graphics are abysmal.”
  • stability
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and performance issues that detract from the overall experience. While some players find enjoyment despite these problems, many describe the game as feeling more like an unpolished alpha than a finished product, with frequent crashes and unresponsive elements. Overall, while there is potential for fun, significant improvements in stability and polish are needed for a smoother gameplay experience.

    • “This is a game I feel strongly about. Originally playing Flashing Lights and Emergency, this is the first game I can confidently say runs great, with not many, if any, bugs, and great gameplay.”
    • “More so with the firemen update part 1. Now I'm a builder for the game, and it's even cooler to see my work in it. Cory's a great guy, always responsive and helpful, and delivers updates on time and mostly bug-free. Highly recommend the game to anyone who likes fire sims.”
    • “I've tried roleplaying, singleplayer, roleplaying with friends, and I excused a lot of the buggy jank as early access growing pains... then the game actually released out of early access without polish.”
    • “To put it firmly, the game is buggy and broken; not unplayable but definitely feels more like a playable alpha than an actual full game.”
    • “Considering this game has been out for two years, it's a buggy, horrible mess.”
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of a coherent narrative, with many players noting that it feels disjointed and underdeveloped, leading to a lack of emotional investment. While the gameplay offers a variety of missions and mechanics that keep players engaged, the absence of a meaningful story detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, some players appreciate the tactical depth and cooperative elements, suggesting that the game can still be enjoyable without a strong narrative.

    • “This depth of equipment and task variety enriches the gameplay, making each mission feel tactical and rewarding.”
    • “The dynamic nature of emergencies, combined with the game's variety of mission types, means that players are often kept on their toes, never quite knowing what to expect next.”
    • “In summary, I enjoyed Into the Flames far more than its competitors due to the larger variety in missions, tools, vehicles, roles, and coop potential.”
    • “The plot feels disjointed and underdeveloped, with shallow characters and a lack of meaningful stakes or emotional investment.”
    • “You will have a better firefighting experience (with up to three friends) the first time around, before being forced into either replaying old missions, or being done with the game and uninstalling it.”
    • “The actual objectives of the game are fun and keep me coming back for more, even without a storyline.”
