Firefighting Simulator - The Squad

This game worked perfectly well up until may 2025 when the crossplay update was released. The update had broken the game for pc players. Dont buy it if you like games to function properly as i do. if i could i would refund this game but i cant and so im stuck with a broken game that was perfectly fine until the update. The website for the developers doesnt offer any support and just advertises the new version due for release. Keep your money.

Players assume the role of firefighters in a U.S. city, responding to diverse emergencies such as house fires, vehicle accidents, and industrial blazes. The game emphasizes teamwork, requiring players to coordinate tasks like navigating fire trucks, deploying hoses, rescuing civilians, and extinguishing fires. While the game strives for realism, certain elements, like fire behavior, are simplified for gameplay purposes. The tutorial system is comprehensive, guiding players through equipment usage and firefighting techniques. However, some players find that the AI-controlled teammates lack efficiency, especially in complex missions, leading to a preference for human co-op play. The game shines in its multiplayer mode, where up to four players can collaborate to manage emergencies. This co-op experience enhances the game's appeal, offering a more dynamic and engaging gameplay loop. However, some users have reported difficulties in finding online matches, suggesting that the multiplayer community may be limited. Graphically, [b]Firefighting Simulator – The Squad[/b] offers a decent visual experience, especially when compared to other titles in the simulation genre. The environments are detailed, and the fire effects, while not entirely realistic, contribute to the game's atmosphere. Performance is generally stable, with the game maintaining a consistent frame rate. A notable drawback is the inconsistent behavior of AI-controlled teammates. In single-player mode, the AI can be unresponsive or perform tasks inefficiently, which can hinder mission success and diminish the overall experience. [b]Firefighting Simulator – The Squad[/b] offers a unique take on emergency response simulations, providing an engaging experience, particularly in multiplayer mode. While it has its shortcomings, such as AI limitations and mission repetition, it can be a rewarding game for those interested in firefighting or cooperative simulation games.

Could not have been a bigger waist of money, Bought the game when it came out a few years back and gave it the benefit of the doubt hoping it would get major improvements, especially to fire physics.(hence a fire game). I re-installed it this past week a year of not playing to find it is worse now than ever before. Since its release, these developers have not touched this monstrosity of an unplayable game. I have always been a fan of Astragon and their previous simulation games. It just seems like a fire sim was not on their list of qualifications lol. If they ever decide to come back to this game I really hope they make it more like another game Emerge NYC. IF this game has it's physics it would sell like crazy with the GFX updrades.

I haven't seen a game in a long time that doesn't get updates for two years or so, the missions repeat themselves, the game is boring without new maps or missions I do not recommend buying the game in any way, not even at a discount in the store

the game was pretty fun with friends but i can't recommend this game. but i do plan on finishing and getting all the achievements before i uninstall and forget about this game. - the AI didn't always listen or the buttons to command them would randomly stop working - people sometimes glitched out of the world and couldn't be saved - can't run over hedges, small fences and one time while trying to pull through a tight road a person walked into the side of my truck causing me to be reset - being told to put out electric when it was already turned off - sever glitching and crashing - when you do the tutorial missions they don't get checked off.

Decent game, recently updated for cross platform. New update comes with bugs and glitches. Needs polish and to be debugged.

This game has a solid foundation, so to speak, and it certainly exhibits a lot of promise. An open-world concept would elevate the experience significantly, allowing players to explore and engage in a more immersive environment. The training information provided is credible and offers valuable insights, particularly regarding backdrafts and grease fires, which adds depth to the gameplay. Despite the impressive potential this game possesses, it appears that the developers have stepped away from further development, which is unfortunate given the game's capabilities. It can be enjoyable for a few hours, especially for those who have a penchant for simulation games or have ever fantasized about being a firefighter. However, it does feel somewhat limited in its offerings, lacking the depth that could make it truly captivating. While the game is entertaining in its current form, it leaves players wanting more. The concept has room for expansion, and with the right updates, it could transform into a much richer experience. The combination of engaging gameplay and the thrill of firefighting could be enhanced significantly, making it a standout title in the simulation genre. [h1] ★★★☆☆ [/h1]
