Emergency Call 112 – The Attack Squad

Emergency Call 112 – The Attack Squad is a simulator from Crenetic and Aerosoft, immersing you in the role of a member of an assault squad of firefighters. Complete a variety of missions, from extinguishing fires in apartments and cars to rescuing people and solving unusual tasks such as catching an exotic spider. The first-person action simulation game offers a tactical approach, realistic equipment, and dynamic scenarios where your decisions affect the outcome of missions.

Game Features

• Various missions: Fight fires, rescue people from elevators or catch dangerous animals – each task is unique and requires strategy.


• A tactical approach: Assess the situation on the spot, choose the right tools such as smoke screens, Halligan crowbars, turn ladders or various fire extinguishers.


• Realistic equipment: Use authentic firefighter tools, including fencing tapes, fans, and bonding fluids to neutralize threats.
  
• Mission assessment: Get feedback on each operation to improve your skills and approaches.


• Dynamic events: Be prepared for unexpected events, such as gas cylinder explosions, if they are not defused in time.


• First-person view: Manage your inventory and interact with characters in a realistic environment.

Gameplay and Impressions

The game takes you to a small German town, where you start with a VR tutorial that teaches you how to use equipment and fire fighting tactics. Each mission begins with a call where the operator reports the incident. You arrive at the place, assess the situation and choose the course of action. For example, a powder fire extinguisher is needed to extinguish fat fires, and a fog is needed for electric fires. Missions range from standard fires to non-standard tasks such as rescuing a cat or catching a spider, which adds variety.

The gameplay focuses on realism: you use equipment such as crowbars to break open doors, fans to remove smoke, or swing ladders to escape from heights. However, player feedback highlights the problems: controls can be unintuitive, especially on consoles, and repetitive locations and the lack of music during missions reduce the atmosphere. The graphics are simple, with outdated character models and a lack of facial animation, which makes the dialogues less lively. Some suspect the use of AI to voice the dispatcher, which also causes criticism.
