Fire Commander

Fire Commander is a tactical game by Atomic Wolf studio. T he co-developer is Polish Pixel Crow, the developers of the warmly welcomed Beat Cop. In the game, we take control over a firefighting team tasked with extinguishing fires and rescuing injured people.

Mechanics

The gameplay is based on giving orders to firefighters in the team and performing missions. The action is observed from top-down view, in real time. We have a few characters at our disposal, each of which has a different specialisation and skills. Some members fight fire well, others operate equipment and others have medical abilities. We can also use numerous rescue vehicles. While dousing the flames, we have to watch out for the water level in the hoses and the tiredness of our units. During each action our squad is exposed to danger. Sudden blasts of fire, explosions or choking smoke can tragically end their service. The objectives and circumstances of each mission are different. There will be opportunities to put out fires in homes, offices, on highways or in factories. Missions also contain bonus objectives. For example, the player must rescue injured people or prevent the explosion of a flammable object.

Between missions the player has the opportunity to manage his own fire station. We can send firemen for training, develop their skills, buy new vehicles and perform side tasks. By achieving successes our units gain experience thanks to which they become more and more effective.

Game modes

Fire Commander includes a single player campaign only.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of the game is impressive. Models of characters and vehicles are carefully made. The maps are dotted with small objects, which helps to convey realism. Spreading fire and smoke look impressive in the game.
