Emergency Description
Emergency is a real-time strategy in which we must command emergency forces. It's the next installment in a series originating from 1998 with Emergency: Fighters for Life, developed by Sixteen Tons Entertainment. The game is free-to-play and contains micropayments.
Plot
Emergency has us playing as an emergency services supervisor ascending the career ladder, progressing from a promising intern to an experienced commander.
Mechanics
Emergency makes use of the top-down perspective. The player commands police units, fire squads, ambulances and technical services. They must deal with accidents, natural disasters, catastrophes and terrorist attacks. The number of lives we've saved is how what testifies to how well we're doing.
The player must coordinate the actions of individual services to effectively aid those in need. Over time, the difficulty of operations increases; so do we, however, as we'll gain cards used to upgrade units and unlock new skills. It's up to us whether we'll specialize on a single type of services or spread out to be versatile.
The game features three extensive maps. The game is made more diverse by changing weather conditions: storms, frost and scorching heat can cause many problems in our work.
Game modes
Emergency supports singleplayer and co-op for up to five people.
Technical aspects
Emergency features high-quality visuals with appealing locations and models.

Emergency Disappointed Fans of Iconic Strategy Game
The release of the new Emergency cannot be counted as a success. The game is receiving dismal reviews on Steam, mainly due to the use of the free-to-play model.
