It's a fun, relatively short, but unique roguelite about saving people from burning buildings and some other story elements. Honestly nothing really wrong with it, it's fun to play, and looks great. I wouldn't pay full price for this, but it is certainly worth checking out on sale, and deserves more than the review score makes it seem.
A lot of negative reviews seem to be either from crashing or not knowing where to go/dying too quickly and not getting money. I had no crashes so that may have been fixed, and also only died once or twice out of all my runs, and was rolling in money by the end. It's actually quite reasonable and you still get enough money from failing to get you off the ground with a few initial upgrades, and it only gets better with further upgrades as you do more runs. As for the not knowing where to go, eventually you get something that helps you in knowing if you missed someone or not, but generally if you go through neutral doors and not the ones with the fire or exit (until you're ready) symbol, you'll be fine and won't miss anything.
Worth checking out on sale!

A real gem for sure. Usually I don't play "firefighter" simulations but this one is more like Ghostbusters in that you are extinguishing fire demons and collecting tomes to seal the demons. The general "feel" of this game is just wonderful, as you use the hose as both a weapon and a sort of jet to propel your character upwards. The 2D sprites on top of the 3D backgrounds look wonderful, and the game never gets old even though you are essentially doing the same thing on each stage.
There is a steep learning curve in the beginning, and your character is a lot weaker. As you progress, you pick up recruits who give you additional benefits. Some will grant you additional cash for completing missions while others will increase health or signal where people you need to save are located. It's actually really well done for what it is. The only issue is that sometimes I couldn't pull the level for the progression I needed to complete and had to quit and restart. That may be unavoidable, as you can't have a "stage select" in a game about abrupt emergency fires.
Eventually you will get money for better equipment and upgrades that make the game significantly easier. The only hard thing about the game is the optional "medal" challenges, but by the end of the game they are way easier since your character will be way stronger. There is surprisingly a final boss fight and it's a great way to top off this wonderful experience.
While it's short and does not contain a lot of replayability, it's just really well done and a fun experience for the general weirdness of it. I still don't entirely understand why there is a flying lava whale in the forest among the other strange creatures the game presents you with.

I say I recommend this with a HUGE asterix.
For $17.99, this is a very meh experience.
If you can get it on discount, please do.
This is the type of game that is very jank, and has a bit of a confusing story.
However, the gameplay is really fun, and I very easily got immersed in the gameplay loop.
So when I say get this on discount, PLEASE get this next time it's on discount

its bad , the roguelite progression feels like a mobile game incrementer its more grindy than fun and story progression is uninteresting nor balanced

First played the game on console and revisiting in on PC showed it's possible to succeed in the early stages, but the learning curve can be daunting. And it does feel like the game ramps up the challenge faster than you can get acclimated for a while. However, the game is a lot of fun and it's a pretty unique experience.

Es un plataformas entretenido. Al principio es un poco frustante, pero en cuanto compras unas cuantas mejoras, se convierte en un juego mucho más rápido y divertido.
Los niveles son procedurales, lo cual los hace injustos, sobre todo al principio. Además, hay muy pocos niveles, se hace repetitivo rápidamente. Por suerte, es un juego corto, así que no se hace pesado.
