One of the best SNES games. I played it in 2023 and enjoyed the mechanics and the story a lot.
The Firemen is one of the most underrated hidden gems on the SNES. The premise is simple. A building is on fire, and you play as a fireman putting out the fire and rescuing any entrapped civilians. The charm of the game is that it feels like a clear homage to Die Hard. It's a fast pace thrilling action game (where you're fighting fire instead of people) that takes place in a commercial tower during Christmas. The die hard influence oozes out of this game. The gameplay is what you would expect from a fire fighting game. You use a hose that has two different modes for different fires and the ability to duck/crawl. As you climb this tower the action really is non stop and there is a boss fight for each floor. The fireman is short, it can take roughly 2 hours to beat, but it is highly repayable as you can get scored on your performance and the gameplay is very skill based. Highly recommended.
Pretty solid game! A short playthrough that makes up for it with challenge, really liked it being a top down game focused heavily on the combat (being fire fighting of course). The music was pretty damn good too. Shame it never got localized in the states.
Um jogo desconhecido para o SNES mas muito legal, lembra bastante aqueles filmes de bombeiro da sessão da tarde, o jogo além de ter bons gráficos, uma história interessante, tem uma gameplay que funciona bem e é divertida, vale a pena dar uma conferida.
Proposta inovadora, experimentabilidade é tudo. Os gráficos são um show a parte, e a trilha sonora não deixa nada a desejar. A jogabilidade é tão experimental quanto, porém... torna-se muito repetitiva, que conste, tornar os continues limitados somado a uma dificuldade bem acentuada, faz com que o player que não possui recursos externos (save state, etc) fique repetindo o jogo DO COMEÇO inúmeras vezes. Ou seja, acho muito punitivo, levando em conta o quão repetitivo ele se torna, pouco muda ao decorrer do jogo, não traz uma boa sensação de progressão. Tentaram fazer um jogo muito curto, porém fizeram um jogo que pode se tornar irritante ao longo prazo.
Some fun, old school, firefighting action. I definitely recommend checking out.
