43 of 43 · most liked firstAs a firefighter in real life I was very interested in this. However the game is highly buggy, such as clipping issues collision defections and the same song looping. I can't look behind when i'm in a vehicle, so when I back my vehicle back into the garage I have to almost have to guess where the garage door is. Overall this game shows a lot of promise if it spent another few months in development it might be some what more playeble. Play at your own risk. i give it 4/10

You cant drive it so you get demoted. Even if this was more than half a game, it still would not be worth the asking price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not bye as soon as you get to drive florian 7 the truck will not move Save your money for another game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad Game, Aerial Ladder bugged. couldn´t used. refudned game with 7hrs palytime. (yes steam granted after i claimed on my Refund rights.)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it sucks you can't save and not recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is excat same as Chemical Spillage Simulation game whom released few years ago on another store by different publisher
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game in general besides the bugs and crappy animations, but overall it's a great game! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scary people walking around when night, no doubt, just why?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From playing 3 hours of firefighters, i see no problem appert from bug and bad animations. Like: Only has a time limit for getting to the fire, you can take as long as you want of putting the fire out. Great game play. Love it Dislikes: Somtimes waiting for a call takes long, animations are bad and some but not too many bugs. I wouldnt call this game a simulator because i know for a fact that firefighters just go to scenes and back to station, they do more then that. Also a message to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →much simulation
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game until you reach Fire Chief rank with number 7 ladder unit. Truck doesn't drive because front wheels are off ground. Disapointed to be honest. If this wasn't a problem i would give the thumb up but thumb down!!! Don't recommend to others sorry. Not worth wasting any money on when cant reach all ranks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is a bug where you are assigned the ladder truck but you can't use it because its rear end is down low and the front tires are off the ground. Tried several different things.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the game can you change how you flip over a truck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game is great besides truck 7 bugging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's actually fascinating that this game was somehow made as terrible as Airport Firefighter Simulator in the EXACT opposite ways. Unbelievably, the devs took the worst, mind-bending aspect of Airport Firefighter Sim, which is the unskippable insanely long and boring tutorial that excruciatingly overexplains every detail in the entire game, and with this game, they actually overcorrected the issue so far to the point that almost nothing is explained to you, whether by the tutorial or the daily…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you don't live in Germany or never been to Germany then I wouldn't get this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice idea but badly done. Sounds are awful and the bugs are game breaking many times. Especially since the ladder Florian 7 doesn't work, there is no way to actually finish the game. Sad that this has turned out to be like that. I really liked the idea but they are known for bad games actually. I should have known before.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not as optimized as Airport Fire Department in which i can get nearly 60fps at 1920 x 1080 in medium setting. This one only gets me 35 fps in low settings at 1600 x 900 BUT it has slightly better UI because you can change the mouse sensitivity. Also the music here seems to be better. Maybe i'm wrong but i think it will be okay if not good. 5/10 More details later. For now i just want to note the performance difference, The 35 fps is probably an fps cap since i got the same results at 1280 x…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an ok game but I can't figure out how to use the stoped robot thing and its been driving me nuts for the first few weeks I've had it now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can you fix Ladder 7 People have been saying that ladder 7 has been bug and needs to be fix can you do that when you time to do that so i dont have quit the game and come back in please.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a great idea absolutely ruined by idiotic development.. PROS : actually great potential. CONS : EVERYTHING 2/10 (just for trying)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really great game and you get a lot of calls
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ladder 7 can,t move
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a game with not much realistic graphics or features and it should have a freeplay mode so you dont always be timed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is very realistic and a good game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a good game, so bad. Driving is a ... Im glad i just rise 1 euro not like 15 euros for that game ,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is ♥♥♥♥!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Firefighters - The Simulation, developed by VIS-Games and published by United Independent Entertainment, delivers an experience centered on the demanding responsibilities of emergency response personnel rather than fast-paced arcade action. The game places players in the boots of professional firefighters assigned to protect a large district filled with residential neighborhoods, industrial complexes, and hazardous facilities. Its emphasis is on handling realistic emergencies through proper…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is really a cool game, I'm enjoying it a lot 02/03/2026 THE GOTY Doesn't care when u read this. 1. The Narrative: Human Drama Behind the Hose While other games need 40-minute cinematics to make you feel a spark of emotion, Firefighters - The Simulation achieves it through the deathly silence of a fire station at 3:00 AM. You aren’t just a "character"; you are the Last Bastion between civilization and thermodynamic chaos. Every call to the switchboard is a potential Greek tragedy. A…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun and good, but when you are doing mission they are not helping you 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sound: 2 Graphics: 4 Story: 4 Gameplay: 4 Commands: 2 Fun: 3 Time to load / lag: 9 Bugs / Problems: 5 Final score: 3
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun for a few hours, but rather buggy. I got stuck multiple times in neither success or failure and having to start over the whole day from a save. When I got to the 4th vehicle (ladder) I couldn't drive it at all even after unlocking it a second time from a previous save game and playing another day with the 3rd vehicle. The game basically ended prematurely due to a bug.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once you get promoted to truck 7, the wheels of the truck are off the floor so the vehicle cant move. so, you will get demoted again.. not worth the time AND money! I do NOT reccomend this game!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is kidna old but i really like it i recommend to buy iot cause its so fun to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you find this game in a bundle with 2 other games for just $10 get it why not, but maybe think for a higher quality game. For 2012, I'm sure this was awesome. But I do not recommend this full price. It also bugs quite often and some missions are impossible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The very definition of: JANK
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this a good game? Not so bad, not so good. Graphics are nah, physics are nah. It is worse than Firefighters 2014.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay so I bought this as a joke, but man... refunded. Refund reasons: - Poorly optimised - looks and runs worse than Arma 3. Even vanilla Skyrim looks better. - Unrealistic scenarios - nobody is calling the fire brigade because a single wooden pallet is on fire - The biggest challenge the game has to offer is a bin bag on fire - No collision detection - can drive through NPC characters and vehicles - The game thinks that bin bags are reflective surfaces - All of the characters walk like they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice game, this game bring me back to 10 years old
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a game in which you have to turn of fire
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok,so a couple days ago I unlocked Florian 6.I've had Florian for like 2 days now and most of the callouts I get are the ones with the oil in the water,but there is a problem.The pump you have to use to suck the oil from the water doesn't work,but I dont know why.Please fix it soon.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was fine until truck 7 which glishes out and i had to start again. 5/10
