Emergency Call - The Firefighting Simulation 3

So at the current state of the early access the game can be quite buggy but this is expected. If you have played previous versions of the game, there are some good differences however there were a few in which I didn't prefer and made me think if the game was for me as playing other firefighter sims in early access have been so much more enjoyable. This is based on a few things but mainly being the lack of initial content and the slight unpolished feel of the game for an early access release. When responding to a call, if your not paying attention in the previous versions and you hit into a vehicle, you actually hit into them, in this version you just drive straight through them. With an early release game, the least I expected was some sort of collision with the AI. The hose mechanics are simply disgusting, its a cool feature but with how it controls, having your screen move all the time whilst trying to put out a fire isn't a pleasure. It's like your on a boat trying not to throw up. Basically, the higher your DPI, the more shaky it is when using a hose. The tutorial cannot be skipped. Unless I missed that part, I had to sit through it when I wanted just to get stuck into the game. The FOV on some items is messed up especially the thermal camera. The positioning I like your whispering to your character from behind the screen, you cannot see much when you have this open. This is the same for getting into the vehicles, you cannot see anything and your stuck looking at the location where the character is getting in and out of. If you are responding to a call as a passenger and you press M to view details, it pauses the whole game which is annoying as this would be a good time pass when responding. In the previous version, retrieving tools was a fun feature as you had to search for the tool and memorize the exact location. I'm not a big fan of the list for each compartments as this takes the fun away from dealing with a call and having to search for the tools that you need. When ever a character is talking and especially the squad leader talking to people on scene, the dialog feels like it goes on for ever and you are standing around waiting for direction. This is boring, move along with the call... Some dialog/audio was missing too. It would be nice for the other firefighters to speak something as they are silent on the calls and it's weird. Something like them saying their intentions or general dialog about the call would be suffice. Also at times the AI's characters voice quality goes all over the place and sounds glitched. One minute it's fine and then the next their talking high pitched and distorted. The textures on the fire engines also glitch under certain lighting which is annoying, this is something I expected a little with the game being in early access. This also goes for indicating, on some turns, the engine doesn't indicate when the AI is operating. Waiting around for a call, this can get boring very quick. Personally, I wish there was a way to force spawn calls. At times, your game freezes or stutters when looking around - As expected with a new game I would say. Based on these points, I would recommend the game but not at this current stage as it does need a few more updates to be enjoyable. After playing the game, I would say for the current state of the game it's not worth the current price point especially with the more advanced games out there in early access. With the skills, I think will be the fix to some issues as you build up your level and stamina but I personally, don't take to this as I just want to play and complete missions and not have to train my character each time I create a new game. With the limited content available in early access, you may as well wait until more content is added. Overall, it has potential especially with the predecessor games which were great but currently I would rethink my purchase on this one as I've not enjoyed the first 75 minutes as I did with the last version - I feel like I have played a demo of the game but paid for it. Despite these, I'm excited to see what comes in the updates as there is a great base set out for the future and will be following the development and playing here and there as things are ironed out. One thing that I do like is the weather, the changing weather from sunny to thunder, that's a great addition.

At this stage the game is really unpolished with a lot of bugs and faults such as audio missing and textures missing and also lots of content is missing but it will only get better from here. For 25 euro this is a bargain considering how much content will be added in the future. What i'd do is buy it now and try it out then wait till a major update and play it then.

Also dieses Spiel ist weit entfernt von einem Early Access release. Würde das Ding als Demo rausgekommen sein okay, aber dafür mehr als nur 2 Euro zu verlangen ist ein Witz. Das Spiel hat viel Potenzial, aber bis zu einem fertigen Spiel ist es noch ein sehr sehr langer Weg. 3 verschiedene Einsätze und alles Müllbrände, ein Fahrzeug, nur eine Truppfunktion, da fehlt noch viel zu viel... Schade das man sowas heutzutage als Spiel schon verkauft, vielleicht in einem Jahr aber so auf keinen Fall. Aber wie man die Entwickler ja kennt werden die kommenden updates ja noch Jahre auf sich warten lassen, bis man das Spiel dann wieder zu 10% fertigstellt und dann aufgibt :D Zudem crasht dieses Spiel viel zu oft :D und ganz ehrlich das "Wachen-Leben" ist ja schön und gut, aber ob ich da nun 1min auf den Laufband Q und E drücke oder zwei Tasten zum Kaffee kochen idk... lieber mal paar vernüftige Einsatzlagen ins game bringen und auf das Kaffee kochen verzichten, was genau 1x lustig ist. Aber mehr als ein Easter Egg wäre das in keinem anderen Spiel der Welt

25 Euro für ein Spiel mit ein Fahrzeug und zwei Einsätzen ist eigentlich schon ein Scam. Zudem haben die Entwickler gesagt je mehr es im Early Access ist desto teurer wird es. Also Entweder bringt man ein ganzes komplettes Spiel raus oder man sollte es endlich mal sein lassen und erstmal den 2. Teil fertig machen. (Mann will wohl das Deutsche EA oder Ubisoft werden.) Roadmap sagt dass (bei Erstellung der Rezension) erst in über ein Jahr mit nen kompletten Löschzug rausfahren kann. Zudem schaff ich es einfach durch zu schnelles gehen das Spiel zu Softlocken. Zwischen den Einsätzen kann man nur das Fahrzeugwaschen. Das Strahlrohr quietscht als würde es schon längst ausgetauscht werden müssen (Haben sich die Entwickler eigentlich sich mal ein Strahlrohr persönlich angeschaut). Die Grafik ist auch die Gleiche wie im zweiten Teil. Mann sollte einfach das Projekt Notruf aufgeben wenn man es einfach nicht kann.

das mit der ölspur geht fast garnicht entweder ist kein öl da oder das spiel hängt sich auf und geht nicht mehr weiter

Läuft flussig und ist für die EA-Zustand gut. Auch die Updates wirken besser als in den Vorgängern soweit,

[h1]I have played it but I had to return it [/h1] and here is why: The game has a lot of potential. From what the "Early Access" offered, it is a nice fun simulator. Graphics: 8/10 Sounds: 9/10 Vocals: 8/10 [i](sometimes cringe, but in a good way)[/i] But here is the thing... I returned it, becuase for a price tag of [b]~ 25€[/b] it is [b]NOT[/b] worth the early acces (EA) [b](yet)[/b] The content of the EA is [b]not[/b] worth an EA. If this was a free demo, fine! But ~25€ for a game, where there are only 2 kinds of missions and only 1 vehicle to work with, it is not worth the money. To be honest, I would be ok to pay the price when there is more content OR if I, as a customer, would know when more content will be available. But for now, to be honest, save the money and buy the game in a later state. There are also some mayor performance issues. Even my system fought for it's life at some points. (Maxed out the settings tbh.) TLDR: - Good game with potential - Not YET worth the price of 25€ - Content feels like a demo right now (september 2026) - Buy it, but not yet. Only if there is more contentupdates available - Do not max out the settings or you might need a fire extinguisher for your system - 6.5/10 game [h2]To the devs:[/h2] I would really really reccomend to drop the current state of the game as a [b]free[/b] demo. It would help people to get a first look into the game without a paywall of ~25€ AND they are not pissed or returning the game when they see that there is nothing much to do in the game yet
