Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this realistic firefighting sim for its fire behaviour and firehouse feel, but the AI teammates and clunky truck driving frustrate many.

Many players praise how convincing the fire behaviour is: heat, smoke, flashovers and oil or electrical fires must be handled with proper technique, and firefighters with real experience say the routines and atmosphere feel authentic. Players enjoy the tools, the fire truck operation and the chance to play with friends in co-op. The main complaint is the AI teammates, which often ignore orders, spray walls without fire, get stuck or call mayday needlessly, making solo play frustrating. Many also criticise the truck handling as slow and awkward, and some say the campaign is short and the missions repetitive. Some report crashes and poor performance on lower-end hardware. Recent reviews repeat the AI complaints and add concerns about updates, while the older helpful reviews are a bit more positive about the overall package.

Praised

  • Realistic fire behaviour

    Heat, smoke, flashovers and oil or electrical fires must be handled with proper firefighting technique, which players find convincing.

    Many players
  • Fun co-op play

    Players say the game is clearly better with friends, where the squad works together and the chaos becomes entertaining.

    Many players
  • Firehouse atmosphere

    Players like the lively station, the routines and the feeling of being a crew member, and some firefighters say it recalls real stations.

    Some players
  • Tools and firefighting mechanics

    Players enjoy switching between tools, breaking walls and doors to reach victims and managing hoses and ladders.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Weak AI teammates

    AI firefighters often ignore orders, spray walls with no fire, get stuck and call mayday needlessly, making solo play frustrating.

    Many players
  • Clunky truck handling

    Fire trucks accelerate slowly and turn awkwardly, so players often crash on the way to fires or find the driving unrealistic.

    Some players
  • Short, repetitive content

    Players say the campaign ends quickly, missions repeat and there is little to do beyond fires, with calls for more vehicles and scenarios.

    Some players
  • Performance and crashes

    Players report crashes, lag and poor frame rates, especially on lower settings and in multiplayer when not hosting.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy realistic firefighting and plan to play mostly in co-op with friends.
Who should skip it
Solo players who want reliable teammates and polished driving should wait for more updates or skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly recommend the game, while those with 20 to 200 hours are more divided, often citing the AI and repetitive missions after the campaign.
