Vital Signs: Emergency Department

I don't have any medical background and English isn't my native language. But this "game" is very interesting. Played some rounds with my husband and we learned some new things :) The UI is good and it is easy to understand how to manage the shifts. In my best 2 hour shift i got only 73% wrong on one patient xD

I've been a nurse for over 20 years, and this game is over whelming even for me. I can't imagine this game being fun for someone who doesn't have a medical background. There isn't enough time between cases to order the things that need to be done. Even in real life, there's time. It would be excellent if there was some follow-up education at the end. The format is great, and the available options for ordering tests etc is extensive. I think with some tweaking, this could be an outstanding game

essential controls don't work, no instructions in tutorial (which doesn't work), fix the bugs so that people can play it

fun and not to complicated.

this game is awful 10/10

This game is great practice for those who are seeking medical career. If you cannot research and figure these terms, acronyms or what these "things" mean... consider not pursuing a medical career for this is a field of the unknown... you have to dig for information; this game is set up for people already practicing and you can tell.. Its a game for med/nurse school students. If you want to be a nurse or doctor.... play this game and actually research it... you are going to have YEARS on a lifetime of research. face in your books, surfing through words on the internet looking for new info, terms.. constantly... so if this game thwarts u away, a medical career might be too much for you. no offense to you... this is a hard-mode game about one of the most difficult professions in the world. 1 in 3 patients in most hospitals who are brought in... die.

Nice concept but even real life medicine gives more time to assess patients than this. Unless you are a doctor and know every test or treatment at that level, don't bother.

It's fun and actually realistic. But you need to have a background in medicine.

dont play it if your not in med school, you should have knowled on medecine if you want to play and succed. well i dont and didnt understandoo most things

You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "Vital Signs: Emergency Department" is a basic, badly made medical quiz game, mostly menus rather than anything else. You're presented with symptoms and present highly spurious medical diagnosis in response, rinse, repeat. This feels like Two Point Hospital is a more reliable guide to medical analysis. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers on PC. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. On the important matter of pricing and value for gamers, there's a lot going on here with monetisation, so this really shouldn't be considered a truly free product because of that. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $5 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. Even after that, you're expected to pay up $16 USD to unlock content through DLC purchases. That's right, SIXTEEN BUCKS. The game should not be considered completely unlocked until you empty your wallet for the developer. This is misleading and predatory pricing on a product falsely marketed as "free". In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 7 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? Nope. I didn't have to pay for this, but I still feel like I got scammed. They seriously want $16 for a glorified webpage. Not okay.
