German developers have a reputation for crafting detailed simulators, and while that stereotype doesn't always hold true (Euro Truck Simulator hails from a Czech studio, and Farming Simulator from a Swiss one), Germany is home to several realism-focused game creators. One such developer, Aerosoft, has recently launched Emergency Call 112: The Attack Squad, a firefighting simulation for mobile devices.
Named after the European emergency number, Emergency Call 112 puts you in the shoes of an elite firefighting squad. You'll tackle a variety of fire scenarios, ranging from burning sheds to life-threatening housefires. The game demands strategic decision-making, especially when facing potential gas explosions or situations involving human lives.
To combat these fires, you'll have access to a wide array of realistic firefighting equipment. This includes extendable ladders, pickaxes, and various hoses. Simply rushing in and dousing the flames with water isn't always the solution; quick and critical decisions are crucial to effectively manage each emergency.
It's an emergency!Aerosoft's ambition to bring Emergency Call 112: The Attack Squad to mobile is commendable. This game is clearly targeted at enthusiasts, and it caters to a niche audience. However, with its diverse range of missions and features, even those who aren't hardcore simulation fans might find the novelty and challenge intriguing enough to give it a try.
