The verdict
A fun, good-looking firefighting game with great fire effects, best played co-op with friends. Skip it if you play solo or want lasting content: the AI is dumb, missions repeat, and the devs have abandoned it.
Great for
Co-op players with friends who love firefighting and will buy it on deep sale
Main risk
Dumb AI, repetitive missions and abandoned development leave little to do after a few hours
