EMERGENCY HQ: firefighter game Hack 1.8.08 + Redeem Codes

I’m writing this more hoping that the creators see this and use it for an idea. I love the game let me start off by saying that. It’s fun everytime I play it and it only gets more challenging. The only thing I beg of you to add is a tracking system For your squad/people when actually playing. I can be playing a game and have two fire trucks and two water tenders going at the same time but everytime I use a fire man and have him spray the building he obviously ventures off to go find a fire hydrant. But when I’m doing other things within the level, I.e. using medical doctors or k9 etc. I lose track of where they go. So when it comes time to put out another fire I find myself scrolling the entire map looking for one firemen and wasting time. Soemtimes I even fail a level because I take so much time finding one person that a civilian dies or some levels I don’t use a person at all because they are hidden in trees or something and I forget he is even there. This could all be solved with one click of a button and the view could hover right over the person I’m looking for whilst highlighting the person. I would have no problems with this game after if this was added I find myself becoming a little discouraged to play just because I know a hard level is next and I don’t feel like looking around everywhere for all my people it wastes too much time :/

Let me start out of saying how much I love this game. It feels like your actualy saving people and the realist ness of the fires! I only have a few things to say that can be better about the game. First, the water. When you are putting out a fire, the water some times goes through other buildings that ain’t on fire. Next, the vehicles. I would have a water tender putting out a fire and a ambulance would go straight through it. Also, the cars would just turn around without driving. Also about the vehicles, I would have a ambulance gone and a water tender would go around where the ambulance would be. I wish that could be fixed. The last thing about them is witch if you add might make people kinda mad but if you have a vehicle next to a fire or an explosion, the vehicle would actually catch on fire (the emergency vehicles). I think that would be cool. Also when I was taking about just the ambulances and the water tenders. (I meant to say all the emergency vehicles). Last, I wish you could train multiple units at once instead of having to wait for one unit to get done training.

I hope you read my review and try to improve a little on those. Overall, I love this game!

I’m into these kinds of games and if they surprise me, I’ll spend money on them. This game was fun up till HQ level 5 or so. The levels got to the point where they were so hard, it just wasn’t fun to play anymore. There’s a point where challenging levels just get plain frustrating. A mobile game about firefighting shouldn’t have a player rage quitting because of intense gameplay. Specifically, I am referring to the multitasking involved to complete the hard levels. Your fingers have to be flying across the screen and one small distraction completely destroys the level. I am a perfectionist so I attempt at getting platinum medals for every call and it just got to the point where I was getting upset at the fact that you have to use pay-to-play cheats (helicopters) to complete the levels. I just feel like a game of this type should not be so upsetting. Intense is fun, ridiculously hard is just not my thing

Update: To answer the developer response, yeah, I’ve maxed out the upgrades for each HQ level and even then, the missions I’m presented with are a joke. The level is always just out of reach based on your city’s qualifications. You upgrade the HQ, and everything you’ve worked for is like baby play and now you’re sitting there unable to complete any level you haven’t already done because according to y’all, my units aren’t upgraded enough. Yet in order to upgrade my units, I need coins. I need to complete new levels to gain more coins.

I don't usually write comments or reviews but I have a suggestion. I love how in 1v1 you can choose where to park your vehicles. In normal mode this would be nice too, especially when you just hit the call all required vehicles button. I have always lost time when for example all my medics, ambulances, firefighters, or cops aren't all next to others of that same job. Also I could park major vehicles more conveniently instead of wasting the closest spaces on say cranes, tow trucks, K9's, SWAT Teams, or Engineers. I really think this would dramatically improve the flow of the gameplay.

On another note is it possible to drop the price of the NBC and Drug Detection Dog buildings considerably. It's ridiculous that coins can only be bought with Gems and there's no feasible way unless it is the end of the month, and even then that money is already predetermined, that I can afford enough Gems to use to purchase the coins I need to build those buildings, plus I still have to upgrade my HQ one more time. Your prices for upgrades are crazy. I really need another engineer, another tow truck, another rescue boat, another medic, and another tender

I’ve always been a fan of time management games, and this one really hits the spot for me. I don’t even mind the occasional repetition as it allows me to think about how I can improve from the last time.

What really bugs me, though, is that on both the in-game missions and the AFK missions, the devs always include one mission that you cannot complete at your current level. It’s not so bad for the AFK missions since you can dismiss it for free (although it does take a chance away for you to earn money). It’s TERRIBLE for the in-game missions as you effectively only have three to choose from instead of four...unless, of course, you pay premium currency to call for a false alarm and have the impossible mission replaced.

I’ve read developer responses to this criticism and they try to call this a positive in that you get a preview of what’s to come later in the game. Really? Do you think we cannot see through that painful attempt to justify a cash grab? I could understand if I was in the middle of upgrading my command center and I’d be very close to being able to complete those missions, but as of today I’m probably weeks away from getting to the next level and would have to reset these supposed “previews” 3 or 4 times a day. I’ll be glad to increase my rating of the game if you remove this ridiculous process.

This is a great game and is incredibly addictive. The down side is having to wait 30 minutes for a new scene to open only to complete it in 45 seconds. Then wait another 30 minutes and have a scene that last 2 minutes. I understand that you want people to spend actual money and purchase emeralds but you’re probably going to lose more because of the wait times. It’s also frustrating that you can only update one unit at a time. As you make progress the times to update increase. It would be nice to be able to update/upgrade each unit at the same time. I greatly appreciate that this is an ad free game and hope it continues that way. I had purchased the original pc game when it came out years ago and became addicted to that as well. In that game it was nice that you could have your units closer to the fires and injured people so that you didn’t have to wait for the crews to advance to your location. Keep up the great work and I hope to see new adventures and advancements.

Overall this is a good game. The graphics are nice and the UI is easy to work with. It also has a great variety of missions to play. The support missions are also a nice way to fill downtime between sessions
There are however 2 noticeable flaws when it comes to the missions. The first flaw is the difficulty spike that takes place when the HQ is upgraded. Some of the missions immediately jump to 50 levels higher than that of your units, making them quite hard. The really big missions with huge fires become almost impossible without help.
The second and bigger flaw is that there is always one unplayable mission on the map. Wether you are lacking unit numbers, or a new unit entirely, one of the four missions on the map cannot be played. Even if you use EMeralds to false alarm away that mission, another unplayable one will appear soon enough. This slows down overall progress significantly as you will have at most 3 playable missions before waiting for more.
Fix these flaws and my 5th star will be earned.

So like others said, I really liked this game and spent real money to advance. But it is far too difficult to advance in game to keep me interested. Everything is a step ahead that cannot be reached unless real money is spent. The earned rewards don’t come anywhere near the requirements for advancement. Even while spending money. It got boring and frustrating. There are levels that are impossible to beat. I am willing to pay a little here and there. But this game is impossible. I have spent close to 30 bucks on this game. I know when I reach the next level it will cost me more or else I can’t be competitive. You have one package that is 90 dollars. 90! Get out with that. Sorry guys. I really did dig the game but It You sucked the fun out of it. To others, it is fun at first. But don’t waste your time or money. Your cash grab will ruin this game that I actually enjoy. You are not doing enough to make it worth the money. The vehicles are too far away. The missions are often missions I don’t have the equipment for which cost emeralds. If you want money from us, then make your game better. I will not spend a penny more of my real money until you do.

So I love the game, it’s fun and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what’s going on. Now there is one thing I despise not only in this game but every game, the TIMING god I hate time it bugs me to death. We’re stuck in this quarantine I’m already bored and waiting a half hour for a scenario just doesn’t seem appealing. It’s not that big of a deal with the construction of new structures that’s understandable so people don’t speed through the game but there’s thousands of emergencies every second I don’t think we’re limited to 30 minute intervals to see some guys duking it out in a plaza. For Atleast the duration of this epidemic personally I don’t think there should be a wait time on scenarios. If this is a thing like “hey go outside get some fresh air” let me inform you that there’s now murder bees, some deadly virus, and even worse a new twilight book. So please reduce the scenario timer greatly or just remove it, it’s more of a burden that a feature.

The new graphics update is pretty good!
I really enjoy the game. The levels are fun and exciting. With that said here are a couple of ideas that would make it more fun. Being able to move your units closer to either increase time and availability. You could also make it a risk if you were to move your units closer to a fire for example. Where the fire truck could ignite and explode if you didn’t get it either out of danger or didn’t put it that close. Being able to tow the tractor out of the way at deer crossing would be nice so the pumper trucks could put out the fires would be cool. I do enjoy the fact that this game is not a pay to play where you get frustrated because to advance you are paying actual money. And being able to have your units help with one victim would be nice too! Like the Drs being able to help one victim together. Obviously where it would help complete a mission faster. Or the police officers helping to get people taken care of or moved out of the way faster.
