May 2025
Players assume the role of firefighters in a U.S. city, responding to diverse emergencies such as house fires, vehicle accidents, and industrial blazes. The game emphasizes teamwork, requiring players to coordinate tasks like navigating fire trucks, deploying hoses, rescuing civilians, and extinguishing fires. While the game strives for realism, certain elements, like fire behavior, are simplified for gameplay purposes. The tutorial system is comprehensive, guiding players through equipment usage and firefighting techniques. However, some players find that the AI-controlled teammates lack efficiency, especially in complex missions, leading to a preference for human co-op play. The game shines in its multiplayer mode, where up to four players can collaborate to manage emergencies. This co-op experience enhances the game's appeal, offering a more dynamic and engaging gameplay loop. However, some users have reported difficulties in finding online matches, suggesting that the multiplayer community may be limited. Graphically, Firefighting Simulator – The Squad offers a decent visual experience, especially when compared to other titles in the simulation genre. The environments are detailed, and the fire effects, while not entirely realistic, contribute to the game's atmosphere. Performance is generally stable, with the game maintaining a consistent frame rate. A notable drawback is the inconsistent behavior of AI-controlled teammates. In single-player mode, the AI can be unresponsive or perform tasks inefficiently, which can hinder mission success and diminish the overall experience. Firefighting Simulator – The Squad offers a unique take on emergency response simulations, providing an engaging experience, particularly in multiplayer mode. While it has its shortcomings, such as AI limitations and mission repetition, it can be a rewarding game for those interested in firefighting or cooperative simulation games. 7/10 DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | GREAT |AMAZING| MASTERPIECE Reviewed on: Win11 Home 64-bit, Intel i5-11600K, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB TUF, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM, 2 x Kingston NV1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Internet Broadband 300/50 Mbit If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.

Solid game, good graphics but some aspects are not as accurate/realistic as they need to be. One example is how tedious it is to extinguish the fires. Sure it can be a task but not as time taking as in the game. 10/10 experience nonetheless.

The game is good but as a volunteer firefighter irl is missing so much stuff and they say the game is done when we all know there stuff they could add. i think they are lazy so they dont have to work on it. could add a free roam or something.

I first saw this when Jeff Faviagno was playing it on YouTube with a few other people. The gameplay was pretty funny because they all took it not too seriously. But he also explained the background of the game and the mechanics of the game and it's deeper than you think. The fire spreads realistically and you have to use your brain as much as brute force to solve some of the fires. I like the details. The driving is pretty sketchy. But the trucks are pretty detailed and it's fun to interact with them. I find it to be pretty relaxing to go out to fires, save lives and put out fires sometimes when I'm playing in singleplayer. I would recommend.

Very Unrealistic but still fun. I work as a FF and thought it would be a funny Gimmick to try it out and see how close to the real thing it is. A minute in, the comms dispatch reports that fire is spreading and that there is possibility for backdraft. backdraft is no joke but also extremely rare in the real world. Backdraft conditions are created by an oxygen limited environment and not one where fire can spread freely and have smoke billowing out of the roof. The ladder truck also gets assigned to "safety" instead of ventilation or giving a size up of the building as first on scene. still a fun game but don't expect to learn anything much from this game.
