  i have been following this game for quite some time and am very excited that its now out, it is the deepest most involved firefighting simulator ever, a very good game, at this current time it is by no means finnished and the devs have been very transparent about it, they announced before launch that it is buggy and incomplete, they are very honest about it, they will be working hard to fix the bugs and to expand upon what they have created, so far im really happy with this game. they have put alot of effort into it and i will be spending alot more hours playing. the worst bugs i have encountered is cars getting stuck at intersections causing permanent traffic, ai firefighters getting stuck due to bad pathfinding, some little niggly ai issues and one crash so far, it could be described as game breaking but to me its not, its tolerable especially since the developer has been so honest and i know they will resolve these issues, and what this game is for me more than makes up for the issues.

  And yes this game needs some serious polishing. But , this is a serious simulation , and not another shooter clone. Being a fireman is following protocol and executing it at the best you can. Knowing the drills means you can improvise on them in new and daring situations. This is how firedepartments in europe operate. Simulations like this give a realistic insight on what it realy means to be a fireman (not the hollywood style one). This is where Notruf succeeds you can practice the protocol, what equipment you need , connect the lines and hoses. You can actually learn something from this. (dont know if there is already an implimatation of first aif procedures , would be a nice addition(tapping the space bar 30/2) Emergency games are a still a niche market but there is so much potential in it. There are other heroes that put their life on the line everyday to help others and they dont need a gun to do so. Advice , smooth the experience , keep the details functional, maybe implement a bit of physics.

  Unfinished game, ton's of bugs, 30€ for an false advertised game is just to much. Several release delays and still not all main features implemented. Don't buy it at the moment.

  Where to start with this one? I've asked myself this question for a couple of hours before starting to type. I suppose the easiest way to start is at the beginning. Notruf 112 (or emergency call 112 as the english version will be called) is a firefighting simulator made in cooperation with the professional Fire department of the German town of Mulheim an der Ruhr. It means you start a firestation and are assigned to an engine, a pumper or a laddertruck. Next door, but still within the building, are the paramedics with their ambulances. But these are currently just set dressing and not a subject of this review. Unfortunately there isn't really much to do at the fire station. There's a small area where you can train in knocking down a small fire, connecting a hose and working with some of the rescue tools. You can also go to the engine bay and check out the usable gear on the available engines. Unfortunately not all the gear is apparently ready to be used yet nor are there call outs available where said gear, like the motor saw or the chain saw, can be used. On the other hand, it still is kind of interesting to check out the ingame fire station. The posters that show the fire engines of the Mulheim Fire Brigade through the ages are a nice touch. And, the equipment containers at the back of the station perhaps also hold promise of bigger things to come. If so interested you can always try to load a container on the back of the carrier vehicle and unload it somewhere else. The containers and the gear installed on them however do not work. In the meantime whilst you were busy checking out the gear on the fire engines or exploring the station, perhaps you might have had a call out.This could be anything, ranging from a traffic accident with persons trapped to an appartment fire and yes, even a false alarm or two. Remember how i said that you can check out the gear on the engines? Well, now you can go up to your assigned engine or pumper, open the hatch(es) and take out hoses to fight that appartment fire. You can also help and build a supply line to the engine and prepare extra hose lines for an interior attack on that appartment fire. It's here however that you run into one of the games major shortcomings. The ai The ai is such that it can actually do a lot of tasks for you and thereby take a lot of work of your hands. This in itsself is a boon as it prevents you from having to do a lot of work yourself. HOWEVER, the ai is also still a bit finicky with regards to its pathfinding and the chores it has to do. I've experienced more then one case where I as a player had apparently done something the ai was supposed to do. This in turn caused the ai to lock up and literally do nothing. I would say that in a game about firefighting you'd also wonder about the modeling of the fire and the way it would spread. Unfortunately, I can't really comment on this as I haven't really seen fire spread yet.It's another shortcoming and I suppose that the devs are working on it, as they have by releasing 5 patches (so far) on to the separate BETA branch. There is still a lot of work to be done on this game and yes, the developers are aware of it. All in all however, despite the developmental shortcomings, Notruf 112 is an enjoyable game which has definetly raised the bar for firefighting games (if you compare it to games like the ff2014 game) but it's not quite there yet. Time will tell if it will get there, or not. Wheter you want to buy it or not, the choice is entirely up to you. EDIT: I feel not much is going to happen in this game in the future. A 2.0 version of this game is apparently in production but other then the announcement of this, there isnt much out there news wise. Due to the 2.0 version now being in production, i believe it is no longer in any way prudent to recommend this game.

  Just to clear things out: I'm a vol. ff. in Hungary. I really looked forward to play with a realistic, european(Germany has very similar tactics/technics with Hungary) style fire fighting simulation game. But i got disappointed very soon after i purchased the game. Eventually after 2 hours of playing, i refunded this game. Let's look at the pro's and con's: Pro: - Graphics (nice, not the best but very good) - Authentic - Detailed - Realistic - Truck's physics - Beutiful, very well modelled trucks, engines Con: - Basically everything else sadly :) - Map is boring and dead, no peds for ex. - Sound, only German speaking - Too much bug and glitch, still after 5 patch - Serious issues with saving game, sometimes not even saves the game, and the savegames doesn't have date just X's like: XXXX:XX:XX XX:XX, figure out your last save by the index pic. - AI is terrible, both other cars and ffmates, sometimes they just stand there and do nothing for minutes - Fire mechanics is just wierd af., a small kitchen fire will not go out for 5 minute, even after you sprayed the burning wood furniture with appr. 6-700L of water, same with a small isolated playground object (2mx2m), but if you go out to a car/truck fire, the foam or water is extinguishing the car in seconds, every ff know that car fires can actually be a struggle to extinguish because of oil, plastics, fuel, rubber and so on. - The game sometimes freezes, not literally but while you are in the mission, the commander just not gives you any order, and the colleagues just satnding in one playe, you have to switch to every guy in the squad to do their job one after another. - Tubes go crazy sometimes and you can't collect them any more (you can't finish the event) - Colleagues disappear (i wasn't able to finish the event and go back to station once, because the "Machine operator" went to space or something) - The station is like a chicken cage, no life and ai is just go back to the top floor every time and stands there until the next alarm. The station itslef is more likely a warehouse than a fire station. Big open spaces without any reason and function. Sometimes without any furniture too. Irritating because you spend your half "worktime" there. And i can continue this line with gamebraking bugs and glitches after 2 hours of play. You can imagine the state of this game. I waited for 5 patches to buy this game, and be sure to play the final game. Now i can safely say: This game is not bad. But it has so many bugs and glitches that you can't even play the game normally. The map and the AI needs a lot of work too. I hope they gonna fix these issues in the future. Maybe i "rebuy" this after several month and several patches :) Until then, this is simply: "The Bug Fighting Simulation" Edit 2017.04.19. I bought the game again. I will update this review sonn. Let's see... 05.07.: Sorry guys... this game still has a lot's of bugs. I tried to play it, but it's very annoying when the ffmates getting stuck in rooms, and extingushing the same object for infinite time for ex. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/172669520748614115/477076E4425DA78B5B61852203531A57A6933A92/ If i not grab another fogfighter, and go upstairs to help my collegue, the mission not ends because the guy just kneel there, and ext. one exact thing forever. Graphical glitch: The water comes out not just the windows, but through walls too. etc.,etc... https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/172669520748613542/FCE83AF83CF04290212589224F24687A1075E490/ Tell me one thing: Why do we have to wait for everyone (even it's not even used, like ambulances) to arrive to the scene??? We have a fire, and we have to wait for the ladder and 2. fire engine to arrive to the scene. But why??? I'm not even able to jump out from the truck... The new "infinite" hoses are a nice idea, but we still need a lot work on the AI! And guys... for god sake: Please rethink the fire mechanism! A normal sized coach and 2 chairs not burning forever. Like seriously... When i checked the fire simulation in that part of the game, it was very nice! But in the game, thats not even works the same way. The spread is not the same for ex. I checked the fire extinguishing mechanism in the game, and i got dissapointed again. Just watch how many seconds needed to struck down a (single)flame (at a sofa for ex.). I had to ext. 10 secs in one single place to ext. it completely. With a professional fogfighter it delivers like 40 L (10 gal) of water in one exact place (50x50cm)! Thats not how it works in real life, you know this too. Even a full laic person knows approx. how much water needed to put out a bigger camp fire for ex. So guys this game still has too much bugs, to change my recommendation sadly :((( Let's be honest guys: You tried it, but failed. So much deeply authentic and great idea, but at least the same amount of bugs, glitches and fault. 2017.05 Dear diary! My saves somehow corrupted itselfs... so i have to restart the whole campaign, and deal with the boring alarms again. I have a slight feeling, i'm not going to do that... :(

  All in all: This is a decent game. But there's so much more that should've been in it. Here's the ting. It's another german simulator with one of those terrible engines that makes you go nuts. Everything behaves weirdly. Let me give you a good example: If you change character while being in first person view, the character you just played goes invisible. It still does the job it's set to do, so you will experience hoses and respirators flying around putting out fires. Or if you are the driver on a vehicle, and change to a passenger - the truck drives itself home. That is either some next level Tesla-sh*t, or a very terrible bug. That being said, this terrible german simulator is one of the better, terrible german simulators I've played. Compared to Firefighers 2014 for instance, this game is great. This game has potential. Here you are part of a big crew. If you are called out to a car accident with a person trapped inside the car, your role in the callout will depend on what character you chose. You can be assigned to being ready with water hoses in case anything catches fire, monetoring some instruments, cutting the car's roof off or simply waiting for the other guys to finish the job. This is a cool feature that makes the game feel real. Here are some pros and cons I've noticed. Pros: - The driving feels great. When you drive the fire trucks through town trying to get through traffic it feels real. The trucks are big and slow, and the AI traffic behave like the morons they should. - The amount of gear on the trucks are great. You have a lot of gear, different kinds of hoses, foam things, traffic cones, respirators, fire axes etc. On a normal callout you generally just need a few things, but it makes the game feel real. - You are a part of a crew. You don't do everything alone, just as IRL firefighters don't. - Callouts are placed at a lot of different places. Except from the car fire on the highway I don't think I have done the same callout at the same spot yet, which is nice. Cons: - The waiting. The most important thing you will do in this game is to wait. Waiting for callouts. Wating for your next task.Waiting for something new and exiting to happen. And: For some reason you can't start a 'mission' after arriving to a scene without all the other firetrucks and ambulances arriving as well. It feels weird sitting in the truck (not being able to go out) while theres a truck on fire in the middle of the highway because one of the four cars still haven't arrived. - This waiting results in me changing character to whoever has the mot interesting task. This makes the feeling of being a part of a crew go away a little. - Bugs. This game has a lot of bugs. Things disappear, jobs cant be completed, things get stuck, hoses cant be put down and so on. - The mechanics. Where do I begin? Let me give you a great example. If you place one end of the hose 10 meters away from the other, the hose is 10 meters long. If you put one end next to the other, the hose suddenly is 10 centimetres long. Everything behaves weirdly, but maybe thats how german simulators are meant to be? - Missing AI. The city feels dead when there's no AI. The devs have said they'll work on it though. - The station. A big part of the game is waiting for a callout in the station. The station is a nice building with lots of rooms and many other fire fighters. The problem is that there is absolutely nothing to do. The other firefighters just stand around (not making any sounds) and wait for a new callout. - The amount of callouts. After playing this game 4-5 hours I have completed all the kinds of callouts there are. - The city is too small. You rarely drive more than 3 minutes to a callout. I would love more variety to this. Especially because the driving feels real. Why don't some callouts take 15 minutes to drive to and others just 2? - Not being able to drive around between callouts. As I said there is nothing to do at the station between callouts. But there is also nothing to do around the city. The one time I successfully managed to drive out of the station without being on a callout, the next callout bugged out because the fire truck I had used suddenly was gone. I think the list could go on. With a lot more callouts with a lot of variety this game would be absolutely awesome. The developers have said they won't make a carreer mode, which I think is a shame. I would love to be able to work my way up from being part of the hose crew to being the lead attack fire fighter. This game does in my opinion have a great potential for becoming an awesome simulator, but for now it isn't. I don't regret buying this, don't get me wrong, but I think I wish I waited for a sale. It's not very expensive now, but waiting for a sale also have another good side to it: Who knows - maybe the game has been updated a lot by then? TLDR: Wait for a sale.

  This game is a great relistic simulaton of begin a firefighter. My dad is in the RAF and he did some firefighting on Brize Norton 15 years ago, he said that the game is relistic but some sertain things aren't for example when the firefighters stand around at the scene waiting to do things. He says "All firefighters have things to do on scene of the emergency". Things need working on: Bugs: 1) there are some bugs but not many, when i take a call in the 1st fire truck ( the small one ) the firefighter (AI) 2) sometimes goes invisable. Sometimes callouts wont work and the AI just stand there and do nothing. Great things; 1) Relistic 2) Great vehicle handling 3) Great sirens, graphics, lighting, Truck skins. 4) Great callouts 5) Great detail to the map and vehicles Suggestions: 1) More callouts please, like a huge fire, moterway RTC, more RTCs, Terror attack? Maybe abit to far? Rescue operation, metro accident, plane crash ( Add a airport please ), ambulance callouts? Huge RTCs, house fire, shop fire, skyscraper fire. I can go on and on but there the top ones i can think of. 2) Mod support: I know they are adding mods for new skins which im exited about but please add full mod support. New sirens for the new skins, new areas e.g if you have a London skin you'd want to be in London right?, New Person an AI skins for the new truck skins, New vehicles, basicly full mod support. 3) Developer updates: If you have Autobahn police or Euro Truck Sim 2 the developers add new skins for the vehicles, new vehicles and new stuff without making it a DLC, it simply gets more customers and is great for the community. If they make these changes and make them DLCs it would be bad in my Opinion. It would show that the developers are money hungry. LIke Flight sim X, Microsoft have added new planes, graphics and scenerys but they've put them into DLCs and it shows how money hungry they realy are. Everyone loves devs that show respect for the community. So if your reading developers, plaese do this. Unless you make it as a free DLC ;) Overall this game has full potentail and i love it so much. Great game. Although it still does need some work done to it. If the developers are reading, please fix Firefighters the simulation! I cant progress any further becacuse the ladder truck wheels sink into the ground. Thanks ;) Thanks for reading, please rate the review it'll be helpful Yours [KLM Virtual - Owner] Hascast

  Even though i had my doubts in the early days of release i must say the development team is doing their job by fixing a lot of bugs and also upgrading features. What i can say is from all the earlier "firefighter simulators" this 1 really is on top of my list for now, yes it is not perfect but yet we get MP soon, mod support and so on! Personaly at the release date i would have called this game release "betá"/"early acces" and not full release (yet), the future for this game for now is still looking good and i don't know if the developers got suprised by the amount of sales numbers what made them support (ongoing development) this game even more. Me and my son really love this game, its not 100% perfect (i am a firefighter of course) but like i said it is on top of my list firefighter simulators and i hope to see a new firefighter simulator in the future from Crenetic with even more simularity to the real job!

  Notruf 112 | Emergency Call 112 is not a bad game. It is a simulation of a Fire department in Germany, which, of course, deals with fires. You start off in a large Headquarters with a practise area. You can walk around other personnel. Check out the areas, etc. Then you get a menu pop up with an emergency. You can choose any position on the FireTruck. When you do, everybody then runs for the Fire engine. There are plenty of ways to go and it`s easy to get lost so it`s a good idea to follow one of the AI Firemen to the engines. He knows where to go. The game works in 3rd AND 1st person and since i`m a 1st person junkie I really appreciate this. I get in the truck, sit and the gates open the sirens start and you`re away. The Ai will drive you all the way to the scene, which is nice. You can see the other trucks coming out too, sirens blaring, and following which is really cool. Once you get to the incident, the AI will go through a routine. It`s actually quite well done. If you`re new you can literally just stand and watch while everyone does their thing. They will open the doors bring out all the equipment and get set up. When it`s your turn you`ll get a notice in the top right corner telling you what to do. The item you need will light up so you can see where it is. Even then I did get a bit lost sometimes, but the crew will wait while you sort yourself out. The fire doesn`t though! Finally, you grab the hose or whatever and get it into position and then another guy, The Water Attacker lead will grab it and deal with the fire. Now you can take his place by selecting a fireman until you are in his place, but for a new start I like to just watch it all. The fire is put out, you put back all the kit and head home. The AI does a very good job in a very technical and accurate way. Back at base you hang around until another job pops up and you ge another mission. they vary from a skip on fire to a house on fire from what i`ve seen, even false alarms (which was surprisingly cool). There are day/night cycles and rain. Vehicles roam about and so do people. Graphics are very functional. They are not bleeding edge, but do the job to represent trees, cars and buildings, etc (don`t forget to put up the grahic settings). I do not recommend increasing the rear view mirror distance setting as that causes really annoying stutter. Fire trucks look really good as do the firemen close up. Sounds are good for the trucks and their sirens. You get a basic alarm and tanoy when the guy speaks in German when there`s an emergency. There is a section where you can view the fire mechanic and how it spreads in a room and even a modding section to change the skins. I downloaded and installed a West Midland mod. I live in the East Midlands but this will have to do! More or less the same anyway. Unfortnately I couldn`t change the siren sounds. The game ran very well on my rig. Now the bad: What really jumped out at me was the lack of sound. There are very functional sounds, but not much. No one talks while you wait for an Emergency. There is no idle background chatter or anything. nobody speaks during the emergency. It would have been really nice to have constant radio chatter while fighting a fire and perhaps at the end someone says, "Glad that`s done!" But no, just silence. At least you hear things break and the fire burning. Graphics are functional, but the fire effects, while nice don`t quite look like fire. Fire looks a little TOO fluid. You don`t get the licks of flame that fire has...It really could be better. Bugs: While the game works well there is some bugginess. On my first mission after the fire was gone and we got in the trucks, they wouldn`t move. I looked outside to see that the truck was blocked by cars and basically didn`t know what to do so just stood there- forever. I had to take over the Fire truck to manouever us out. There was also one case where the fire fighter went into a house to fight a fire and just stood there, so again, I had to take over to help the AI. But these were one off situations. The detection model can be a bit off in 1st person. If you want to pull down the Gate slider on the side of the Trauck you must go into 3rd person before it will detect it. Also when we sit in the HQ let us look around a little, same in the fire truck. Also while waiting let us do things like have a drink from the tea\cofee maker or perhaps talk to others in a simple manner, etc, etc. Maybe even add random papers with randomised news to read, it could even be funny. It gets boring when there`s nothing to do. However, all that said the game is VERY well coded. There is a solid foundation here you can feel just from how well the AI does everything, leaving you to just watch if you want. I really hope they work more on increasing immersive sounds and quoshing any bugs, plus adding more and varied missions. Also a character creator to have your own avatar with a record of what he has done would be nice too. It gets a thumbs up.
