Absolute peak probably top 10 games out there tbh
Imposible de completar, 80 horas de juego y nada que avanzo
Best rogue like I have ever played the upgrading system is not the best but everything else was done to perfection in my opinion for rogue like lovers I would rate a 95% I highly recommend this game

viel zu unberechenbar und schwer, lvl 1 allein ist gestört. absolut unbalanced
[h2]Sinopsis[/h2]
Flame Over es un roguelite de acción donde controlaremos a un bombero londinense, Blaze Carruthers, en una carrera contrarreloj contra el fuego. Un enorme incendio se ha declarado en la empresa “Infernal Industries” y solo un héroe con su experiencia y excepcional bigote pueden solucionar esta emergencia. Deberemos recorrer cada planta del edificio, sofocando las llamas, salvando trabajadores y gatitos y plantando cara a toda clase de peligros armados únicamente con nuestra manguera y extintor.
[h2]Jugabilidad / Apartado técnico[/h2]
Flame Over recuerda a los típicos juegos arcade de PS2. A lo largo de sus 16 niveles tendremos que recorrer 4 zonas de la empresa: las oficinas, la parte ejecutiva, los laboratorios y la fábrica. Cada nivel y zona se compone de un pequeño mapa generado de manera procedural, donde tendremos que ir habitación por habitación sofocando las llamas a base de agua y extintor antes de que se agote el tiempo. El fuego se extenderá rápidamente, por lo que tendremos que ser raudos y precisos. Además, en ciertas habitaciones encontraremos personas o gatos, los cuales tendremos que conducir hacia la salida antes de que caigan presos de las llamas, ganando tiempo extra. Un aspecto fundamental será desconectar el suministro eléctrico de cada planta, pues ciertos aparatos podrán volver a arder incluso después de apagarlos con agua. Cada zona incluirá nuevos riesgos que tendremos que gestionar, y por si fuera poco, en algunas plantas nos encontraremos con la señora Ion, la cual podrá encomendarnos misiones especiales que cumplir, como recuperar su bolso, cerrar escapes de gas o deshacernos de ciertas pruebas. Al tratarse de un roguelite, tras morir, ganaremos dinero y tokens para desbloquear nuevas mejoras que nos permitan llegar un poco más lejos, además, durante cada run podremos encontrar tiendas donde comprar power ups temporales que nos proporcionarán ciertas habilidades especiales.
[h2]Valoración[/h2]
La verdad es que es un juego bastante entretenido, donde podemos echar partidas rápidas que se generan de forma aleatoria y que rememora con nostalgia los juegos de antes. Al principio puede resultar algo complicado cogerle el tranquillo, ya que el tiempo es el factor más crítico y resulta difícil luchar contra las llamas y salvar personas de forma veloz y eficiente, pero se pilla relativamente rápido y las mejoras permanentes van sumando. Aunque la generación aleatoria de niveles ofrece buena rejugabilidad y frescura, también se trata de un aspecto bastante negativo, ya que a veces nos encontraremos habitaciones con un tamaño o diseño tales, que resultará imposible salvar a las personas a tiempo. No se trata de una experiencia demasiado larga, el juego se puede completar en torno a 1 hora, eso sí, salvar a todo el mundo y cumplir con todas las misiones nos llevará unos cuantos intentos y aprendizaje. Dicho esto, he de decir como bombero profesional, que Flame Over se aleja bastante de la realidad, pero ofrece una jugabilidad rápida y divertida. Los bomberos trabajamos de forma más pausada y estratégica, gestionando los problemas con cabeza y diligencia.
✔️ [b]Positivo[/b]:[list]
[*]Juego rápido y adictivo, con mecánicas simples de pillar y pausas cortas entre niveles, lo que te mantiene enganchado largas sesiones.
[*]Incluye varias misiones y objetivos secundarios que enriquecen el juego base. Además, ofrece esa sensación satisfactoria que producen los juegos de limpiar o apagar llamas.
[*]Se fomenta la rejugabilidad, pudiendo comprar mejoras permanentes que nos pondrán las cosas un poco más sencillas. El hecho de que los escenarios se generen de manera aleatoria es un arma de doble filo: lo hace menos cansino, pero da lugar a ciertos fallos de diseño. [/list]
❌ [b]Negativo[/b]:[list]
[*]Como he comentado, la aleatoriedad provoca que algunos niveles tengan una dificultad por encima de la media, generando niveles excesivamente complicados, donde salvar a todo el mundo resulta virtualmente imposible, especialmente si no tenemos todavía demasiada experiencia o algunos power ups importantes.
[*]El manejo de la cámara es un tanto incómodo en ocasiones, aunque te vas acostumbrando con el tiempo.
[*]El número de niveles no es muy abundante, por lo que se podría considerar un título relativamente corto dentro del mundillo de los roguelikes/lites. [/list]
📢 [b]Idioma[/b]: Interfaz y subtítulos en español.
⌛ [b]Duración[/b]: 4-5 horas juego base/ 12-15 horas para 100%.
🎮 [b]Steam Deck[/b]: Funciona perfectamente.
Lo salvaría de un incendio! 👨🚒👍🔥

Art style and music are great. Unfortunately the core game play is frustrating. Time is very short and the controls are fiddly. Carrying the remaining time between levels then restarting at the first level on a failed run with no progress felt bad.
Also, it seems crazy to have an in-game merchant in a time attack game. Would be better to pause the timer when buying gear to give time to consider the options.
Lo jugué por 1 vez en la psvita como en el 2016 sin parar de morir y ahora lo puedo rejugar sabiendo y entendiendo como funcionan los roguelike, me gusta y es satisfactorio apagar los fuegos
It's a fun game and can be difficult They should have a mode that is not timed so normal people can enjoy it and not just the people who love being frustrated and rushed.
Its a fun simple game.
Easy to pick up, yet can be tough.
The level generation really does set the tempo in terms of difficulty.
Certain something preteens can pick up and play.
Achievements seem to be obtainable.
Price point is good, highly recommend if its on 75% off.
The down sides...
At my current pace, I will see everything the game has to offer in 10-12 hours.
You can't save a game in progress... or if you can, its not working or i don't see how.
Some people are saying the game wipes out all progress (upgrades) when you restart it. I haven't seen that yet.
the difficulty is tied to the map lay out, so sometimes, esay easy, other times, a pain in the arse.
Upgrade path is simple and short.
TLDR:
Certainly a good game you can kill an afternoon with and a fair MSRP so if on sale, great bang for the buck.
“Infernal Industries” в огне! Пожар охватил все здание, в котором до сих пор находятся люди! Спасательные службы - не могут ничего предпринять, так как небоскреб считается “Секретным” и “Охраняемым” объектом Лондона.
И лишь Блэйз, герой-пожарный - наплевав на правила, отправляется в горящее здание, чтобы спасти человеческие жизни!
Помогите Блэйзу спасти людей (и котиков) из объятий пожара, Потушите все возгорания и избегите встречи со Смертью!

[b]Вывод:[/b]
"[b]Flame Over[/b]" - занимательная игра, которая охватывает тему пожаров и пожаротушения. Игра рассчитана на любителей головоломок в стиле [b]Roguelite[/b], что не испугаются трудностей механик, ограниченного времени и постоянно изменяющихся локаций!
Цель игры заключается в том, чтобы спасать людей (и котов) туша очаги возгорания и открытый огонь, что с бешенной скоростью распространяется по кабинетам многоэтажного здания. Вы будете перемещаться по разным комнатам, используя всевозможные инструменты и стратегии, чтобы остановить распространение огня и спасти жизни. При этом Вам нужно быть осторожным, ведь огонь может быть очень опасным, и Вас могут ожидать неожиданные сюрпризы.
Особенностью игры является динамическая система горения, что вносит толику хаоса в четкие тактики игроков. Вам придется учитывать возможные источники огня и опасность легковоспламеняемых предметов окружения в реальном времени. Не забывать использовать все доступное оборудование для тушения нескольких типов огня и не забывать о “тлении” - что способно вновь разжечь пожар, в уже потушенных комнатах!
Графическое оформление игры выполнено в мультяшном и ярком стиле, что отлично смотрится в статичном окружении - но может изрядно надоесть в момент динамичной схватки с огнем. Так как яркое пламя сливается с окружающим пространством, мешая четко определять места возгорания для более быстрого пожаротушения. Игра также обладает плавной анимацией, но имеет ряд проблем как с дизайном уровней, так и с расстановкой некоторых точек заданий - что заставляют игрока метаться по локациям и даже застревать в текстурах, что тем не менее создает атмосферу напряженности и еще глубже погружает Вас в игровой процесс.
Несмотря на свою относительную непопулярность, "[b]Flame Over[/b]" является интересной и захватывающей игрой, которая заставляет Вас думать стратегически и действовать быстро. Если Вам нравятся головоломки и [b]Roguelite[/b], а также тема пожаротушения, то эта игра стоит Вашего внимания.

沒太多消防的遊戲
以前玩過PS2的櫻坂消防隊也很好玩
Can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I love this game. It's very tough to start and has a difficulty curve like running into a wall, but it's so worth it. Fire is meant to be cruel and unforgiving, DANGIT
Didn't know what it was when I bought it. This was one of the poor decisions I've made when purchasing it and why I've been retroactively trying to finish my huge backlog of games. I honestly thought it would be like an arcade shooter with boss fights with fixed levels ala Burning Rangers. But it's not. In retrospective, I don't know why I would think that this game would be like Burning Rangers at all. Don't get me wrong, this game is pretty good. Despite the simple and cute graphic, it is challenging. But it is also fun, and it has good degree of replayability. I honestly think fans of roguelike(roguelite?) games would appreciate this game.
But it's simply not for me. What I like in other roguelikes I've enjoyed(Streets of Rogue, Risk of Rain, Nuclear Throne) do not exist in 'Flame Over'. I wish there was more upgrades e.i wider/longer spread for my hose or better gear as I traverse into the fire while trying to save civillians. That would certainly change or add interesting experimentations to the gameplay loop. but it's just a simple arcade shooter in a form of roguelike with upgrades that made little to no difference the game.
It's challenging but not so much to be frustrating. Just enough to keep you coming back to try and finally beat the game. You do get a checkpoint of sorts once you get past a set of 4 levels and make it to the next building (or section of the same building? The game doesn't make that clear)
The game runs well and freeze-ups are almost non-existent. Only once I had a stuck player glitch but it never happened again.
One thing I wish it had though was a way to start the game with certain power-ups already in your inventory, given that you collect in-game money while playing anyway, seems like you should be able to carry it over into the next playthrough like Neon Chrome. (On the other hand, the implication that you died in the building does make the "losing everything" more sensible, if the previous firefighter is gone, his equipment would be, too)
Cute little roguelike that shows its age in design that is still ultimately a fun use of your time.
The positives are as follows, the art, the music, and the player "combat" options. The music is a nice neutral song that doesn't distract from the game-play which is excellent since it's the only track in the game from best I can tell. The art style is cute and cartoon-ish keeping the style from being dated and captures the charm of a simple indie game without being another pixel game allowing it to stand out more than just another 16 bit game. The options the players has at hand are simple but entertaining; you are encouraged to run and strafe giving a clean sense of constant movement that keeps you engaged. Using the extinguisher can be a bit more frustrating but i found that running and spinning while using it both effective end far more entertaining than strafing with it. The water bombs are less engaging than the other options as you largely have to stop on a keyboard in order to line up the shot given the strange keybind for it.
The Dull; the missions. Somehow I was both annoyed with several missions and found some downright boring. The annoying part of Miss Ion and her missions are that you have to do them in order to upgrade your character which is almost a necessity to complete them game so you better get ready to find that stupid red bag for Miss Ion over and over again.
The bad; the AI for NPCs and the fire spread. Nothing is worse in this game than the fire spread. It very rarely makes much sense and often times just decides to ping across the room for no other reason to eat in the time bank. Obviously it is designed around the position of your character but its unnatural as a result. Often time there is no indication that the massive fireball of death that will kill you instantly aside from a sound that is drowned out by all the other noises of fire and a visual indicator that is obscured by the fire being all the same color. The fire spread reaches its most annoying with the poison/irradiated fire as that fire takes forever to clear allowing the fire to just go nuts around you often leading to stationary fire fighting standing in the next room to prevent your character from overheating and dying. The AI also sucks, the pathing is very rudimentary and will get caught on the edges of obstacles because they just try and straight line it to you leading to multiple backtracks to gather the idiots to save them.
I didn't think it's possible to devoid putting out fires in a game of any fun whatsoever.
You have a global timer that ticks down and persists between levels. You have your health, along with health of all NPCs and cats on the level. Fires spread out in a semi-random fashion that you need to closely keep an eye on. Both your fire-extinguishing tools have ammo that you have multiple ways of restoring. You have a variety of items with you which usually only work when specifically selected. There are also fetch quests you have to do during the chaos. And on top of it all, this is a rogue-lite with random levels and permanent death.
There's just [b]so much[/b] you have to track on simultaneously from level one and so many fail conditions under the threat of permadeath. It's too big of a skill barrier to climb before you can, well, properly do anything in the game really. And it's no fun at all to get through that.
It's literally one of the most frustrating games I've played when it comes to getting achievements.
The game is simple, put out fires, save people and cats.
It can get boring after 6-7 games but the problem comes when you want to get the achievements, specifically the achievement Fireproof (Complete the game, saving all people without any of them being downed by fire).
Since the game is made unfairly, people and urge cats will die instant without you being able to do anything many times.
Simply frustrating. There are other achievements that are very boring.
In summary, a game for 5 hours if you want to entertain yourself, but I don't recommend buying it with achievements in mind as it's somewhat unfair, boring and, in general, poorly done.

Dieser Top-Down Roguelike, der von den Entwicklern [url=https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Laughing%20Jackal%20LTD&snr=1_5_9__2000]Laughing Jackal LTD[/url] auch als "Pyroguelike" betitelt wird, lässt uns in die Rolle eines Feuerwehrmannes schlüpfen, der Brände in verschiedenen Leveln löschen muss. Wie schlägt es sich?
[b]Gameplay[/b]
Wir steuern unseren kleinen Feuerwehrmann ganz klassisch per WASD und löschen wahlweise mit Wasser herkömmliche Brände oder mit einem Feuerlöscher Brände von Elektrogeräten. Die Steuerung ist dabei denkbar simpel. Natürlich müssen wir unser Equipment von Zeit zu Zeit auch wieder auffüllen, wofür es unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten gibt und wir agieren gegen die Zeit. Die wiederum können wir durch das Retten von Personen aufstocken, unsere Lebensanzeige durch das Retten von kleinen Kätzchen.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2709452166
Zu finden sind dann noch zusätzliche Gimmicks, wir erhalten Geld mit dem wir unser Equipment aufwerten können und es gibt Missionen. Darüber hinaus können wir auch Errungenschaften erhalten, welche zumeist an die Missionen, spezielle Aufgaben oder ähnliches geknüpft sind.
[b]Grafik, Sound & Steuerung[/b]
Die Grafik ist rund und niedlich gehalten, denn das Spiel soll auch für Kinder interessant sein. Die Top-Down-Sicht ist manchmal nervig, wenn man die Kamera vergisst zu drehen. Die Gestaltung der verschiedenen Etagen und Räumlichkeiten ist detailverliebt, wenn man mal inne hält und sich die Modelle genauer betrachtet. Gerade das Feuer und die Effekte wissen zu gefallen, ganz im Gegensatz zum Sound. Diese oldschool dramatisch wirkende Melodie/Musik nervt einfach. Sie erzeugt künstlich ein Gefühl der Hetze. Die Steuerung ist in Ordnung!
[b]Fazit[/b]
Ich hab das Spiel mit 90% Rabatt erworben und Angesichts des Alters und des Genres ist das auch zu empfehlen. Mehr lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach nicht, denn es ist ein Spiel was auch schnell wieder in der Versenkung verschwinden wird, weil es nichts Besonderes ist. Für einen kurzweiligen Zeitvertreib eignet es sich jedoch ganz gut und wer die Errungenschaften möchte, der wird auch etwas länger an dem Spiel sitzen!

Honestly what do you expect from an indie casual Firefighter Game? I mean for the price for 1€ you will not do anything bad.
l can't even get to the main menu. That game shows only black screen with text "ʟᴀᴜɢʜɪɴɢ ᴊᴀᴄᴋᴀʟ" in the middle.
Why?
По правде говоря не могу понять почему из 123 отзывов (на момент 08.06.2021) в Steam есть такое большое количество восторженных, прямо до безобразия чрезмерно положительных оценок. Из того, что я успел зафиксировать:
1. Это типичный стиковый шутер, только в декорациях пожара. (это нейтральная характеристика)
2. Это непомерно сложный процесс с рядом искусственных ограничений (это, конечно, плюс чем минус)
3. Процесс однообразен (а этапов много)
4. Горит все и везде, а пожарный почему то один и помощи ему никакой (едкое замечание)
Кураторство - https://store.steampowered.com/curator/5763270/
the flame is never over.
A rather short game, but a quite challenging one. Putting out fires is a combination between using water and powder. Fires can spread very easily, but once you can buy the right power-ups in your run (RNG BOYZ), things get a little bit easier. The gas levels in the factory are horrible however and you'll not be able to save all people every run, since they get instakilled by fire at times. A little bit frustrating when it happens, but the fact that you can continue even though your time is up - and the reaper will come to get you - makes up for that little flaw. Don't expect too much from this game, it looks like a mobile game but it's good enough for a mere 15 hours of gameplay. Pick it up in a sale with over 80% off, then this game is very much RECOMMENDED!
Don't be fooled by the cartoonish aesthetic of the game. It is unforgiving and rage inducing.
Having a single 5min timer for the entire game wasn't stressful enough, you've also got:
_ items hidden in levels for random power-ups (like I've got time to check every single piece of furniture when the time is ticking)
_ random fireballs which can insta-kill NPCs that are REQUIRED to add a bit of time
_ shops with 3 random items each, some of those being so useful you won't go far if they don't show up in first few levels
_ the choice between controlling the camera rotation or the hose rotation. The camera doesn't rotate automatically so you constantly have to readjust its angle.
All of this generates a stressful gameplay which the aesthetic doesn't convey at all. It is a shame since the game looks nice and could be a fun little gem otherwise.
This game is ON FIRE!
Controls were kinda of janky at first, items do not describe their function, but I liked it well enough to play over 12 hrs (according to Steam, i don't know if it coutns time in pause menu) and beat it. I like the satisfactory feeling of methodically extinguishing all fires.
생각 보다는 괜찮은 게임이지만 NPC 구출 할 때 특정 아이템을 가져다 줘야 가능한 것과
시간 제한이 있다는 게 너무 힘드네요.
시간 제한이 없다면 아이템 가져다 주는 게 좋지만...
특히
시간 제한은 1-1을 아슬하게 클리어 하면 대부분 1-2로 갈 때 시간이 다시 처음부터이거나 약간 +시간을 주는데
그런게 전혀 없어서 빠듯합니다.
이것 때문에 플레이 하기 힘들어서...
The music makes me hungry for DiBella subs.
Early impression is this sucks a lot to play. The controls are absolutely nonsensical, right stick controls camera/man rotation unless you're shooting in which case it controls your direction like a twinstick shooter. Just feels nasty and confusing. I've given the first level a few tries and right off the bat you're faced with fires that spread faster than you can put them out. An excess of meters and circular gauges to keep track of, no curve to ease you in, extremely stressful. Hate it.
In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#257 out of 612)... it's time for Flame Over.
Flame Over is a firefighting game loosely based on twin-stick shooters. The objective of each level is to put out the flames in order to rescue trapped civilians and lead them to the exit. On paper it seems like a great set-up for a simple, engaging action game. In practice... it doesn't quite click for me, for one very simple reason: you can't actually put any of the fires out. Not permanently, at least. The objective of the game is simply to carve a path through the flames to reach the next objective and that's it. There's no real feeling of progression, which is a shame, because methodically moving through a building, having to think tactically about which fires to put and and which ones to leave raging, seems like it could make for a really compelling gameplay experience. Oh well.
buggy game, dont buy it
Petit jeux bien sympathique ;D
Lassant dans la durée
This is one of the only roguelite/like games I own, and for good reason. This insanely difficult water-sprayer is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end!
Many are complaining about the balance, but I think they're missing the point that this game is supposed to be incredibly RNG-based based on the fact that it is randomly generated, and stupid difficult. You aren't going to succeed every time.
And the soundtrack is epic, too.
FINAL SCORE: 6/10
IN A NUTSHELL: I STILL CAN'T FINISH THE FOURTH LEVEL DEAR GOD HELP...

[h1]别怕，我来了[/h1]
《Flame Over》是一款俯视角休闲射击游戏，玩家将扮演一位大胡子消防员，在大火中救出被困群众，扑灭大火，为了公民的生命和财产而战。游戏画风可爱，带有一定roguelike元素，虽然操作简单但通关颇有难度，轻松休闲之余也不乏一定的挑战性，作为放松减压游玩极为适合。
[h1]游戏机制[/h1]
开局选择完关卡，玩家便可以进入火场开始行动。需要注意的是，由于存在roguelike元素，每次进入的地图都会有所区别，所以想靠背板解决战斗完全8可能。进场默认时间5分钟，所有火灭掉进入下一关，时间会继承而非重置，对速通要求较高。
玩家携带的灭火设备有两种，水枪、泡沫灭火器，不同位置的火需要不同的灭火设备，此外还有敲开特定门的消防斧。水枪、泡沫灭火器可以在进门的水箱处补满，也能在建筑内随机刷出的灭火器、用水点处补给，若是水量见底，不进行补给便只能哑火了。
进入火场，玩家的一个状态条（简称着火条吧）便会增长，条满便会掉一格血，需要即时撤离到安全位置等待着火条降下来才能保证自己的安全。
火场内有一些随机的被困人员或是猫咪，救援人员可增加时间，救援猫咪可增加血量。需要注意的有两点，一是某些刁民会说他们东西找不到了，你得给他们拿来才会老老实实走，第二是被困者也有着火条，不快速行动的话便会暴毙在火场。
[h1]游戏体验[/h1]
游戏也存在一些影响体验的或好或坏的小细节，首先火场的火，进门处一般都比较小，而越往深处走着火点越多；另外，大火处会有飞溅而出的火球需要玩家躲避，算是火焰的一种表现形式。另外令人非常非常讨厌的两点，一个是两种灭火设备的交替使用，很杂乱，并没有什么直观的规律；另一点是火势的反复发作，本来以为这房间搞定收工，回头一看又TMD着了，非常影响体验，令人冒火。
另外，在灭火时会获得金币，可升级角色的相关能力，随着能力的提升，解决火势也会逐渐顺手，算是为重复游玩难以通关提供的一点希望之光。
[h1]总结[/h1]
虽然与现实灭火谈不上有什么相似之处，但在这款画风诙谐的不严肃的作品中，感受一把作为消防员的感觉，也是一种新鲜的体验。

The upgrade system can be a little frustrating, to the point where if the RNG doesn't give you the right items, you're unlikely to be able to win the game. This doesn't really bother me, because I almost always lost to situations where the correct upgrades would not have saved me. But repeated playthroughs (see: roguelike) I was able to get better, and when the upgrades did fall in line, I was able to capitalize, and make my first win after ~13 hours of playthrough. I enjoyed it, I'd definitely recommend it.

《Flame Over》是一款由Laughing Jackal LTD制作，Ghostlight LTD发行的休闲娱乐类射击游戏，在这款游戏中我们将化身勇猛的消防员，奋不顾身的冲进茫茫火海，进行灭火行动，然后救出被困人员和小动物，这将是我们作为消防员的责任的最好体现。

首先游戏的想法还是挺不错的，消防员进入火场然后进行救火行动，然后通过灭火来收集金币，话说为啥可以收集金币？我就理解为收集被燃烧后物品的剩余价值吧，火灾的表现也比我预想的更为真实，比如刚进门的时候火比较小，可以很容易的进行扑灭，但是到达了一些着的很厉害的地方就很无解，你扑灭一波火，然后扑灭的地方等会儿又会慢慢着起来（太真实啦），当然这只是为了更加真实而已，为了提高游戏难度，着火的地方还会飞溅火花，其实你可以理解为弹幕是需要你进行躲闪的，要不然就会降低生命值，或者扑灭他们？在火灾现场还会有被困的人和小动物，你每次就一只小动物就会给你回血（原来我的命是猫给的），然后救人可以延长时间（时间没了就直接凉，亦或是理解为房子被烧塌了！！！），所以要尽可能的区解救他们，然后来完成游戏，关于金币，你可以使用它们来提升自己的能力，让后面的关卡更加的简单容易。游戏的想法我认为还是不错的，而且音乐也很休闲，就是有些着火的位置有点怪异，灭火时对位置要求有点恶心，当然为啥还有在火灾现场给我派发任务的操作吗？（不要命的人类真的可怕）
[h1] 游戏总评 [/h1]
总而言之，这款游戏还是很有意思的，很适合休闲的玩家来进行体验。

[h1]Esta reseña no contiene spoilers[/h1]
Flame Over ha sido un juego que me ha sorprendido muy gratamente por lo diferente y original de su propuesta y por lo desafiante que puede llegar a ser desde el primer momento.
Antes de nada, me gustaría decir que este juego, a pesar de lo que se insiste, no es un roguelike como tal, sino que es un roguelite, que no es lo mismo. Básicamente los roguelite son roguelike “light”, por decirlo de alguna manera, ya que toman aspectos fundamentales de los roguelike, como la generación procedural o la muerte permanente, pero no el resto de sus características.
¿Esto en que se traduce en este juego? Pues se traduce en que mantiene elementos jugables del género roguelike pero no es tan completo como ese tipo de juegos. Por ejemplo, los diferentes escenarios que tendremos que visitar cambiarán siempre ya que se generan proceduralmente, y habrá elementos comunes en la mayoría de ellos.
Además, también está el sistema de juego típico de un roguelike en el que mueres muy rápido al principio, y de forma permanente, y mientras más veces mueres más fuerte te vas haciendo para poder superar los niveles.
También es similar en el sentido de que hay pocos niveles, pero tendremos que repetirlos una y otra vez para poder llegar hasta el nivel final. Aunque esto es más una característica roguelike “de nuevo cuño”, por así decirlo.
Una vez aclarado esto, he de decir que aún con sus limitaciones, este juego es realmente entretenido y original.
Tomaremos el papel de un bombero que llega a un edificio de oficinas donde tendremos que apagar todo el fuego que haya en esa planta para poder pasar a la siguiente, y planta tras planta terminar el nivel, pero no todo es tan fácil como podría pensarse.
Para empezar nuestras reservas de agua son limitadas, aunque podremos rellenarlas si encontramos en el lugar donde hacerlo, y además el fuego en el juego está realmente vivo, por lo que tendremos que tener mucho cuidado a la hora de enfrentarnos a él si no queremos morir, lo cual sucederá bastantes veces.
Dentro de cada planta tendremos que salvar a aquellos que se encuentren en su interior, no será algo obligado, pero sí bastante aconsejable, ya que tendremos un tiempo límite para apagarlo todo y salir con vida del lugar, y al salvarlos obtendremos más tiempo en el reloj.
Además, algunos personajes no se querrán mover hasta que no consigamos un determinado objeto que se han dejado olvidado, por lo que tendremos que rebuscar en cajones y mesas como si no hubiera un mañana para poder encontrarlo.
Los personajes también podrán morir pasto de las llamas o el humo, pero si contamos con determinados objetos, como un desfibrilador, podremos resucitarlos si llegamos a tiempo.
Dentro de cada planta que conforman los cuatro niveles del juego hay salas comunes que nos ayudarán a hacer nuestra ardua tarea algo mucho más llevadera. Por ejemplo, sería muy conveniente buscar la sala del cuarto eléctrico para desconectar toda electricidad de la planta, ya que el fuego en equipos eléctricos es realmente demencial y se avivará una y otra vez. Sin embargo, y como suele pasar en estos tipos de juegos, puede que al generarse una planta tengamos suerte y la sala eléctrica esté cerca, o puede que esté al final de la planta y todo se complique bastante.
También habrá en la mayoría de los niveles una especie de tienda donde podremos adquirir diferentes ventajas o mejoras que nos harán ser mejores bomberos, mucho más resistentes y con mejores armas para combatir el fuego. La mayoría de los objetos no son permanentes, pero nos ayudarán bastante en nuestra labor, como por ejemplo las bombas de agua, las cuales podremos arrojar contra las llamas y explotarán eliminando un gran parte de ellas. Todo esto cuesta dinero, obviamente, el cual iremos recogiendo por las diferentes plantas.
Por supuesto, cada nivel será diferente al anterior en cuanto al tipo de incendio que hay que combatir, siendo el primero de ellos, el de las oficinas, el más típico de todos, hasta otros niveles donde el incendio estará mezclado con productos químicos y requerirá de otros tipos de elementos para poder superarlo. Por supuesto, a mayor nivel, todas las plantas que lo componen serán más difíciles de superar. Pero no te agobies, ya que cuando superemos un nivel completamente podremos acceder al siguiente siempre que queramos, aunque hayamos muerto.
En esto se basa el juego, es decir, es un juego donde tomamos el papel de un bombero, así que en este aspecto cumple a la perfección.
Las partidas son tremendamente entretenidas, con una música realmente pegadiza y muy marchosa que casa con la acción frenética del juego realmente bien, y los gráficos son muy cómicos y están muy bien realizados. Todo en su conjunto forma un producto realmente interesante tanto para la vista como para el oído, de eso no hay duda.
El juego ha recibido bastantes críticas respecto a su control, pero a mí me parece una exageración, a decir verdad. He de decir que yo lo he jugado con mando, y me ha parecido que todo funcionaba perfectamente.
Bien es cierto que la cámara es algo caprichosa, pero en mi opinión no creo que haga mucha falta mover la cámara. Cuando entras en una habitación lo ves prácticamente todo, salvo un par de paredes, y entonces tienes dos opciones: o giras la cámara para ver el fuego de esa parte, o bien disparas agua contra esa pared. Tan fácil como eso. No son paredes gigantes, sino bastante pequeñas en general, así que realmente no veo dónde está el problema.
Aun así, no he jugado con ratón y teclado, así que no sé si el control es igual de eficiente que con mando. ¿Con mando podría ser mejor el movimiento de la cámara? Pues sí. ¿Arruina la experiencia el movimiento de la cámara con mando? Para nada.
En definitiva, Flame Over me parece un roguelite realmente interesante y original, y lo recomiendo a todos aquellos que estén buscando algo diferente para pasar el rato y quieran que ese algo sea difícil y retador. Muy recomendable para los más persistentes y con gran tolerancia a la frustración.
You can't save your game which sucks.

- The performance is good. Steady frame rate. No crash or game-breaking bug.
- Fun twin-stick shooter. Good firefighting games are rare and this game does admirable job.
- 360 controller works great.
- There are 2 major flaws.
First, the game doesn't do a very good job of explaining its mechanics. It doesn't tell you which item does what. It also doesn't tell you how to get the upgrade shop to appear in the beginning of the next run. You will need help from Google.
Second, weird design choice. You have limited time, which can be added by rescuing people, and the clock doesn't reset when you start a new floor. When the time is up, the Grim Reaper will come after you. If he touches you, you die. And if you die by his scythe, you don't get the upgrade shop in the next run. So, if you think you can't make it to the next floor in time, you'd better walk into the fire and kill yourself. After all your heroic deeds of rescuing people and cats, you should commit suicide. Weird, huh?
In conclusion:
Despite its flaws, the game is solid. Recommend on sale.

Edit: Lack of "lock mouse to window" makes this game nearly unplayable in windowed mode.
It is important to note that I bought this game for $2 so my expectations were low. My problems with the game are listed after the paragraph beneath this.
Fire fighting games are awesome, not enough of them. This one is a Rogue-lite so when you die, run's over. You can buy power ups as you progress and permanent upgrades bought with a currency earned from helping a reappearing character. The levels are randomized. Overall fantastic game. There's great guides written by the developers themselves accesible here on Steam. This was really kind of them and helped me a lot. Press Shift+tab while in game to bring up the steam overlay, look in the bottom right where it says "guides", and choose the one with a thumbs up written by GoldenLombax.
Now here's some problems with the game.
Problems:
[*] The cursor is yellow, making it really hard to see when putting out fires. Seems like a simple thing to fix. I think Blue would be a great color as it'd match Blaze's (playable protaginist) clothing color.
[*] There is a hazard that I call heat wave. When you open a door, sometimes a wave of fire will quickly rush at you. The problem with this is that it's delayed, and doesn't trigger as soon as you open the door. It feels cheap when you're hit by it and the hitbox for it's damage to proc is way too big.
[*] There's not enough levels. Despite the game's randomly generated levels and tough to earn achievements, there's not much insentive to continue playing after you finish a run. I plan to speedrun this game so I will continue playing, but for the casual player, I see them stopping after their first win.
All-in-all, really great game and if you have some spare cash I'd say defintiley get it.
Cute. I quite like this. The levels go on longer than you think they would. I'd like them to be a bit faster so it could be more of a time-filler than a time-sink.
It kinda looks peacefully and fun, but it's not. You gotta be on time and sometimes, generated levels can be unfair with pozitioning and difficulty. Upgrade system comes after you finish all the levels, i can say that's too late. In the end I wouldn't recommend it. Without a better upgrade system and a better scaled difficilty system or maybe with an infinite time mode, the game feels lacking.
unbalanced pos
Как эта игра попала в список? Когда я её купил?
This game could've been one of my favorites and it looked GREAT, but if this game were a circus act, it would've fallen down in seconds, why? because what does this game and cirrcus acts need to do well, balance, this game doesn't have that
First lets go over the nice things about the game, which to be fair, it does have nice things
Soundtrack-Its soundtrack is simple yet catchy, a jazzy/classic/piano style hybrid of music, with the same flow as Cook Serve Delicious (In terms of the soundtrack itself and pace) to compare music (gets hectic at the right times, and gets you immersed
Good Controls and overall good mechanics-For the most part the game's mechanics and ins and outs seem simple to understand, but difficult to master, as thats the vibe I get from the game, and thats a good sign for a challenging rouge like "simple looking, but complex and deep on the inside" for lack of a better term
Where the game falls is how the mechanics are actually IMPLEMENTED AND EXECUTED (Big letters=emphasis btw) which in turns creates a domino effect causing balance issues
Here's the rundown
You have a time limit to complete objectives, such as rescue trapped people, turn off power,. then put fires out, or just put all the fires out. During this, you also need to manage your water and fire extingusiher "foam" for lack of a better term, as there are two types of fires, "normal" which use water to put out, and electric fires from machinery/devices (i.e. a computer, pop machine. generator etc...) which takes a fire extinguisher
But the problem is, you can pass out and lose a life if you are around fire too long, which in my opinion is EXTREMELY unbalanced and almost DEFEATS THE PURPOSE of the game, (I get it being a firefighter can actually cause things like this, but with video games you don't always need to be 100% accurate as long as the games fun)
Not to mention, you constantly have to look for water resources or foam resources to refil your water or extinguisher which are particularrly located at random rooms on the map, all while being on the clock and worry about the possibility of fires "re-growing" and spreading around again
This is where balance is a problem, you either pass out because your rushing for resources to complete the objectives in enough time, or your trying to stop fires from re-growing and other fires end up consuming the building or distract you from other objectives, not to mention all your resources get used on one "patch" of flame
A better way to balance the game could've easily been modes (a more relaxed mode, one without a time limit, an endless mode etc) NO PASS OUT METER (It's more a foe than a game mechanic) and power ups
Think of it this way, to compare, how hard would Mega Man be with no health or ammo power ups except a few big ones at each part of the stage, and you'd be timed
That's this game's problem
GREAT CONCEPT AND EXCELLENT IDEAS
Jumbled/rushed execution and bad balancing, the game simply asks for too much in so little time
Pity, becase the game had EXTREME potential and I was very excited at first ):
Dam being a fire fighter isn't easy.....first you clear one room only to see the next room a living inferno...then you have to save other people and then a Cat...man this is madness. Really challenging but can't seem to put it down after starting.
Flame Over é um jogo divertido sobre um bombeiro tendo que apagar incêndios e também salvar as pessoas presas nas locações.
A premissa é bem simples, mas o jogo não é só isso. Temos que lidar com uma gerência de recursos, usar água ou o extintor para diferentes tipos de fogo e ainda correr contra o tempo.
Isso torna uma premissa simples em um jogo extremamente desafiador e intenso.
Apesar do controle de câmera ser um pouco contra intuitivo, não demora muito a se tornar algo reflexivo na jogatina.
A trilha sonora e gráficos, apesar de não serem um espetáculo, não fazem feio e dão o tom divertido que o jogo precisa.
É um jogo que meia hora se torna várias horas de jogatina. Gostaria que tivesse um modo cooperativo.
Recomendadíssimo!

火災と戦う消防士がテーマの、多少引き継ぎ要素もある見下ろし型ローグライクACTゲー。
最初から持ち時間が5分と決まっており、0になると触れれば即死の永パ防止キャラが登場する。持ち時間は要救助者を回収するなどで回復するが、常に時間に追われるゲーム性。
また被弾の判定も独特で、火との距離に応じて熱ゲージが溜まり満タンになるとダメージを食らうというファジィな方式。当たってないのに見えない熱源に炙られてアウトになることもあるが、火の真っ只中に飛び込んでもさっと脱出すればノーダメだったりして癖がある。
ただカメラ周りがすごく不便。斜め上視点なので画面下側の壁の影が見えない。カメラを回す機能はあるが専用キーを設定できず、エイム用の操作がボタンを押してる間だけカメラ操作に切り替わるというめんどくささ。ボタンをポンと押したら90度回るでいいのに、なんでそんなアナログ操作なのか。最終的にカメラを動かすぐらいなら画面下側は常に燃えてるものと仮定して水をかけるという雑プレイに落ち着いた。
good game..
Really fun addictive game, challenging but that is part of the fun, allround well made and presented game.
Bought this game because I was hoping for a modern version of The Firemen for SNES. What I got was a flaming turd that's so poorly made I can't even quit the game without encountering some kind of reset-inducing system fault. Why is the tutorial so hard? Why are there people who refuse to leave burning rooms? Why do some rooms continually burst into flame even after you've extinguished all fires and are dousing the ♥♥♥♥ out of everything with water? Why does this garbage exist? Running into an actual burning building is simultaneously more fun and subject to physical laws that actually make a scrap of sense.
Flame over é um jogo árcade de bombeiros... espera, ÁRCADE DE BOMBEIROS? SQUIRT ‘EM UP? Meus deus, isso deve ser algo super novo, revolucionário! Ok, ok, não, chegou nem perto.
FO tira inspiração de diversos títulos clássicos, combinando os melhores de cada um no que ai sim pode ser dito como uma experiência única. Confira no review em vídeo abaixo cada um dos games que contribuíram para a criação de Flame Over e de quebra tire suas conclusões sobre se vale a pena ou não comprar o indie.

Пусть вас не обманывает пони-радуга-дружбамагия дизайн, Flame Over - хардкорный «рогалик» с механикой twin-stick shooter'а. Внутри вас ждут боль, превозмогания и пригорания, а также довольно реалистичная механика распространения огня (на мой обывательский взгляд), которую не во всякой ААА-игре увидишь.
FO - тот самый случай, когда сочетание простых элементов дает на выходе крайне непростой игровой процесс, изобилующий нюансами и уловками, и для успешного прохождения придется воспользоваться всем набором. Среди прочего разработчики предоставляют метод обмана Смерти (и он помогает). Только хорошая реакция, хороший расчет и знание всех механик и опасностей проведут вас до самого конца.
Игра разделена на 4 зоны по 4 этажа, и помимо разных ловушек для пожарного и погорельцев на этажах будет встречаться упертая дамочка с необычными заданиями разной степени сложности. Замечу, что и без неё сложно, а с ней - пригорания обеспечены. Впрочем это единственный способ получения постоянных улучшений персонажа - придется выполнять.
Настоятельно рекомендую всем любителям «рогаликов» - редкий случай когда приходится не убивать всех подряд, а спасать, при не меньшем количестве превозмоганий и веселья. Веселье удваивается если вам не чужд х/ф «Обратная тяга» (Backdraft).
Muito bom esse jogo. Bom para passar um tempo!
Graficos bem feitos, trilha sonora Boa. E tem uma boa jogabilidade.
Interessante o desafio.
O ruim é que se zera rapido,e tem poucas fases!
I thought this might be an interesting variation on all the monster bashing of the other twin-stick games I've loved (Nuclear Throne, Binding of Isaac Rebirth, A Wizard's Lizard), but... somehow it feels /grim/. Innocent victims dying on you. Bodies littering the floor. Fire overwhelming you from all sides. And no break from it--no enemies with motivations--just a primal natural force destroying everything in its path, and never stopping. Never letting up. When your enemy is a natural force, and the logic of its progress is so often hard to make sense of, you get a game that feels fatalistic. Your mileage may vary, but this is how the game hits me. If the fire mechanics were rebalanced, maybe it would feel like less of a losing proposition, and it would be more fun to pick up the fight.
That's not the only dealbreaker here. The right stick moves both the camera AND the direction you face/aim. I'm not sure what's behind this choice. It confused me, at first, even making me think there was no true aim independent of the direction you're moving. I got a little more used to it, but I never enjoyed the way the character controlled.
I really dig the idea behind this game, and my hopes were pretty high. It's actually kinda nice that it's not kill, kill, kill. But--on the other hand--fighting one faceless enemy that pops up at random again on the other side of the room after you make a little progress...? The fun factor was low for me.
I hate this so much stop giving me a damn free rubish games steam that I do not even freaking play
Потрясная игра, из серии "Ещё пять минуточек", а потмо оп и прошло два часа) Не могу назвать лёгкой, застряла на втором уровне из четырёх и никак не могу пройти. Музыкальное сопровоздение прикольное, хоть оно и одно, но не надоедает! Всем советую, не пожалеете!
Funny and challenging game. Easy to learn, but you will need some skill to get pass throught the levels. You're gonna sweat like you were in the building on fire.
Best part, it's almost free.
This game is awesome.
Je possède le jeu depuis la date de sortie et je trouve relativemet du plaisir à jouer. Le jeu semble évident à prendre en main, mais j'ai arrêté une longue période sans jamais avoir pu le finir. En le reprenant, le jeu était plus plaisant, bien que la victoire reste une condition de chance quant aux items bonus.
Flame Over is a pointless game, it's stupid, it's ridiculous, but it is fun!
As others have said, the difficulty does ramp up as you get into the 3rd levels, but stick with it and learn the tricks and you can finish it with a fair deal of patience.
You are a fireman, in a building where rooms magically don't actually completely burn until you enter each room by the door (...ok...) armed with your water extinguisher, your powder, various gadgets like water bombs and life sensors, you need to move from room to room, floor to floor putting out fires, rescuing people and the odd task here and there (oh and getting rid of a few aliens too....).
It's not a game that will get you intensely brain involved, it's a bit of fun, something to do to relax and unwind. But you will go away whistling the soundtrack!
Neat idea, but nothing I found fascinating in the game.
Don't try this at your home. Some RNG are not fair so that's why I don't recommend it. If you have no problem with that, go for it.
I originally watched TB's 15 Minutes of Game on this and thought I would enjoy it. Happily for me, I was right.
This game is the perfect mixture of easy mechanics but hard gameplay, I like dying by my own stupidity instead of not understanding the controls/mechanics. Don't get me wrong, there's a bit of trial and error when you first arrive at a new section of the game - most notably the lab. Just know that green fire = hose, green gas = extinguish.
I love the cheery music/art style, I'm a fan of the non-pixelated cartoon look in games (Spelunky has a very similar 2D version to this look). I think it's easy to look at it and think oh it's not that hard. Yes it's hard, don't get it if you don't want a challenge. Or are okay staying in the Office levels forever. I think the contrast between difficulty and theme is interesting and works.
One thing I would have added was the possibility to save and quit your progress at the start of each level. I understand you can start at the beginning of each section, but you are at a disadvantage not having access to the shop in the early levels and multiple achievements require a full playthrough. I want to be able to play for a while, save, then start up again right where I was. To avoid save scumming the developer could make it a one time only save. I think it would add to the longterm replayability of this game since it takes about 45 to an hour per playthough.
Overall I love putting out fires, the music is cheery and somehow doesn't grow old despite being fairly repetitive. I would get this on sale though since all but the most obsessive will probably only put a few hours in before getting frustrated/bored.
不知道为什么我没见过升级界面，有知道的告诉我吗
[i]Flame Over ist ein Twin Stick Rogue-like Firefighter Game in der Iso-Perspektive, das viel Action zu bieten hat, aber höllisch schwer ist. [/i]
[h1]Story[/h1]
Die Geschichte ist schnell erzählt: Wir spielen einen britischen Feuerwehrmann, der einen Anruf aus den Infernal Industries erhält. Das Gebäude steht in Flammen und wie es scheint, sind wir der einzige Feuerwehrmann weit und breit.
[h1]Umfang[/h1]
Flame Over besteht aus vier Leveln, die jeweils in vier Abschnitte unterteilt sind. Insgesamt kommen wir also auf 16 Bereiche, die es zu löschen gilt (+Tutorial). In jeder Ebene befinden sich einige Angestellte und ein paar Katzen, die wir retten sollen. Pro Level haben wir 5 Minuten, um alle vier Bereiche zu löschen, wobei jede geretette Person dem Feuerwehrmann eine Bonusminute verschafft. Insgesamt also ein eher überschaubares Spiel, die Spieldauer ist aber sehr schwer einzuschätzen, weil es unglaublich schwer ist und man die Level deshalb oft wiederholen muss. Jeder Level ist prozedural generiert und ändert sich somit bei jedem Durchlauf, was es zwar nicht unbedingt leichter macht, dafür den Wiederspielwert deutlich erhöht.
[h1]Gameplay[/h1]
Flame Over ist ein Twin Stick Shooter in der Iso-Perspektive. Mit einem Stick steuert man den Feuerwehrmann und mit dem Anderen die Kamera. Ich würde das Spiel ganz klar mit einem Controller spielen, obwohl Maus und Tastatur auch gut gehen.
Der Feuerwehrmann verfügt über einen Temperaturbalken. Wenn der voll ist, verliert man ein Leben. Man darf also nicht zu lange nah am Feuer stehen. Wer eine Katze rettet, bekommt ein Leben zurück.
Mit einem Feuerwehrschlauch und einem Schaumlöscher ausgerüstet bekämpft unser Feuerwehrmann jeden Brandherd. Aber das Feuer ist tückisch. Es gibt unterschiedliche Arten von Bränden, die sich auch unterschiedlich verhalten. So entstehen in einem brennenden Raum Feuerbälle, Feuerstrahlen und Feuerwalzen und Feuerbomben, denen man besser ausweicht. Brände haben auch die Gewohnheit sich auszubreiten. Je größer ein Raum ist, desto schwieriger wird es deshalb auch, das darin wütende Feuer zu bekämpfen.
Erstaunlicherweise gibt es manchmal einen Shop, der nicht brennt und dessen Verkäufer uns bereitwillig drei Gegenstände zum Kauf anbietet. Diese Gegenstände sind unverzichtbar, wenn man in höheren Leveln eine realistische Chance haben will. Man findet hier Wasserbomben, Defibrilatoren, Gasmasken und ähnlich hilfreiche Gegenstände.
Was ist an dem Spiel so schwer? Im Prinzip ist alles nach einer Weile erlernbar und auch die prozedural generierten Level erschrecken einen nicht sonderlich. Das größte Problem ist der Zeitdruck. Die fünf Minuten, die man pro Level zur Verfügung hat, reichen gerade mal für den ersten Bereich. Man ist also darauf angewiesen, viele Angestellte zu retten und das Feuer möglichst effizient zu löschen. Man darf sich keine Umwege leisten. Wer sich in einer Etage verlaufen hat, oder den letzten Raum nicht auf Anhieb findet, wer ein Feuer nicht schnell genug unter Kontrolle bekommt und wem Angestellte wie die Fliegen wegsterben, der ist unweigerlich dem Untergang geweiht.
[h1]Grafik & Sound[/h1]
Die Grafik ist nett anzusehen, es gibt viele kleine Details, die dem Spiel einen charmanten Look geben. Die begleitende Musik ist ein schwungvoller Swing, der sich aber leider nur dann ändert, wenn man es mal in den nächsten Level geschafft hat. Mir hat diese Melodie aber ganz gut gefallen, weshalb ich sie (gegen meine Gewohnheit) nicht deaktiviert habe.
[h1]Kritik[/h1]
Ich bin kein Fachmann für Rogue-Like Games, aber für mein Empfinden ist der Anstieg im Schwierigkeitsgrad ab Level 3 ein wenig heftig. Allen Spielern, die an einem Level festhängen, kann ich nur raten, nochmal ganz von vorne zu beginnen. Denn man nimmt die gesammelten Gegestände und die gewonnene Zeit mit den jeweils nachfolgenden Bereich und das ereichtert die Aufgabe ungemein. Außerdem hilft es ein wenig, Feuerwehrmann-Fähigkeiten auszubilden, die man immer dann angeboten bekommt, wenn man nebenbei eine Mission gelöst hat, wie zum Beispiel die Handtasche einer Mitarbeiterin zu finden, die das Gebäude sonst nicht verlassen will.
Das Spiel ist recht kurz. Ich denke, dass Flame Over ein paar Level mehr gut getan hätten, denn dann hätte man auch den Schwierigkeitsgrad etwas sanfter ansteigen lassen können.
Auf Dauer ist die Musik ein wenig repetitiv.
Flame Over ist #$%&! schwer. Ich habe selten so viel geflucht und spontan "was?", oder "warum?" und "wie soll das gehen?" gerufen, wie bei diesem Spiel.
Die Funktionen im Shop erworbener Gegenstände muss man ausprobieren, oder im Internet nachschlagen. Das hätte bestimmt noch irgendwo im Spiel Platz gehabt.
[h1]Fazit[/h1]
Flame Over hat mich angenehm überrascht. Das ist ein wirklich originelles Spielprinzip. Ausnahmsweise geht es in einem Twin Stick Game mal nicht darum, jemanden über den Haufen zu ballern und es ist alles andere als langweilig. Optik, Gameplay und musikalische Begleitung passen gut zusammen. Das Spiel macht rundherum einen guten ersten Eindruck. Dennoch würde ich Flame Over nicht jedem empfehlen, denn es ist absurd schwer. Wenn man sich die negativen Reviews anschaut, findet man fast ausschließlich Berichte von Spielern, die irgendwo unterwegs gescheitert sind und das Spiel entnervt aufgegeben haben.
Wenn dir kein Spiel zu schwer ist, wenn du eine echte Herausforderung zu schätzen weißt und nicht müde wirst, immer und immer wieder im selben Level dein Spiel zu optimieren, bis du gelernt hast, der effektivste Feuerwehrmann dieses Planeten zu sein, dann ist Flame Over genau das richtige Spiel für dich. Ich habe bisher viel Spaß damit gehabt und über das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis kann ich mich auch nicht beschweren. Daumen hoch, Gutes Spiel!
Neat idea, but just wicked unfun. Infinitely respawning enemies (flames) plus limited time and limited ammo means you better not only make every shot count, but also hit things in the right order. No variety in the enemies either - you are shooting unmoving flame or unmoving flame.
パッドプレイでの感想、操作は慣れないと少し大変かも。
初めのうちは、火がなかなか消えない！救助者がすぐ死ぬ！制限時間が短い！
等々、不満が多々出てたけども
何度かプレイして仕組み？みたいのを理解しだしたら結構楽に
それと、前回プレイ時に回収した資金で強化とかできるので次回プレイ時は少しずつ楽に
とりあえず理解したのは、ステージ始まったらまずブレーカーを落とす
途中にあるSHOPでは消火器を店長にかけ続けてるとアイテムを盗める(１プレイに一度だけ？）
それだけですんなり進めるようになってクリアはできるように
そこまで来ると、なんか楽しくなってちょくちょくプレイしたくなる不思議
それでも、部屋に入ると同時に救助者が死んだりと、高難易度？な事はよくあるから注意
这款游戏我看了下，评论挺少的，而且都没有中文测评，但看着宣传片挺好玩的我就买来试了试，发现是真的好玩啊！！

它有360度可变视角，卡通画风，偏喜剧，有幽默的BGM，但氛围设计同时又能给你带来紧张感。游戏以倒计时时间用尽、生命用尽来宣告结束，最高到16关。[spoiler] 目前我连第一大关（16关）都没通QUQ[/spoiler]
重点是，它有roguelike类元素！也就是说，每次刷新地图都是不一样的，要靠灭火拿来的钱（这么说好像有点奇怪）来增强自己的能力，来通往下一关，所以他是真正意义上的roguelike射击游戏！！（有点类似以撒哦）
地图中可以救人救喵，人给能+1min喵能+1HP（是喵分给你一条命么），除此之外还有任务系统，NPC在大火中会不忘发布任务给你帮忙找包啊 找银行卡之类的（无视生命吗！），内容很多，很有趣！
It's a great game, but the system design is bad. It takes lots of time for me to figure out how the systerm and upgrade systerm work. So It is not beginer friendly
A very challenging game and really good at that.
Not a game which is fun to play.
Terrible game. Very frustrating
I really want to recommend this game. I'm not going to describe the game in general because many others have already. I like almost everything about this game, except the upgrading system, and in my opinion, it breaks the game. The upgrade system that allows Blaze to power up is fine, but is quickly maxed out. The problem is with the "per game" upgrade. Once you get to Level 3: Labs, if you don't have certain shop items that randomly appear, you will not proceed, no matter what you do. Difficult is one thing, being put continuously in a situation in which you cannot proceed is not fun.
After playing for 22 hours, I've gotten the magic combination ONE time. And, when I had this combo, I encountered a hazard I had not seen before and it instantly killed me, even though I had at least 3 hearts remaining.
As I said, I REALLY want to recommend this game, but because of the poor upgrade system, it becomes more frustrating than fun.
[h1]Overall:[/h1]
[i]For the price, rare firefighting theme, and controls,
I think it's worth the $3.59 I paid.
Beware, though, if you have a low tolerance for high frustration.[/i]
[h1]It scratches the itch that [i]Ignition Factor[/i] (SNES) left me with...[/h1]
but this is like poison oak where the more I scratch the more I have that itch that only the aloe vera of a more methodical, logical, game like [i]Ignition Factor[/i] can soothe. Not that I've ever had poison oak. And now that I think of it, a fire / fire extiguisher metaphor would have been more fitting.
But I've already written what I wrote and I'm not going back [i]now![/i]
[h1]Theme, and gameplay of fighting fires is rare and fun.[/h1]
I enjoy putting out the fire and saving the people and cats. Cats? In an office building? I suppose that's far better than "bring your kid to work day" on days when there's [i]not[/i] fires engulfing the building.
The levels are procedurally generated, slapping rooms together in different layouts, which is a plus for newness each time. Each of the different zones has a diferent feel to them. (I've only seen 2 of the zones so far though) It seems like there's only 4 zones from the menu, but each has 4 levels to get through. I just found out that if you "complete" zone 1 you automatically go into zone 2 with all you've gathered so far and keep playing.
It has responsive controls with full gamepad support. The only exception being when I go to the starter room to refill my hose & extinguisher sometimes it doesn't register my pressing X the first time even though the prompt is there.
There's both meta-progression passive upgrades, and per run upgrades / items like the boots that make you faster, which you can buy at random shops with coins you gain. Somehow putting out fires makes coins appear and fly into pockets.
There's two types of fires. Regular that you can put out with your water hose, and electrical fires you put out with an extinguisher. You can put out the flames of both with water but to completely nullify the electrical one so it doesn't blaze up again you need to use the extinguisher.
On each floor that contains the electrical type fires, there's a power room where you can shut down the power and nullify them all as being "electrical fires" so you can just put them out with water. You can spray each one at a time but they're on different buttons so both are at your fingertips if you want to switch instantly. That's another positive.
[h1]But... it has some annoyances that can be rage inducing.[/h1]
Unfortunately every fire spews out fireballs every other second directly at you. I want to say literally, but it might be every [i]three[/i] seconds not every [i]two.[/i] When the small triple fireballs land/hit something they catch it on fire. Spraying water everywhere is supposed to prevent that, but it doesn't appear to do so with rugs. Or furniture. And if a table in a group of tables gets hit, they all reignite a couple seconds after. [i][b]Much[/b] too quickly.[/i] There's also a medium size type of fireball that leaves a trail of fire behind it as well catching anything near it on fire, even the floor. Don't get me started on the giant [i]waves[/i] of inferno that occasionally happen.
Did I mention these fireballs can shoot through doors and basically torch rooms you've just put out? Because they can.
Oh... maybe I should get to really rage inducing part.
Remember those 2 types of fires? The fireballs? And how things hit by said fireballs ignite everything around them?
Well you can put out almost an entire room only to have a fireball hit a group of desks with PC's on them and they ALL reignite as electrical fires. Which then spew out more fireballs a second later, and the whole room in on fire again. This is especially expletive scream causing when you have a hollow + shaped arrangement of PC desks that you need to get through to reach the power room.
The people, and cats, have HP which goes down when near fire. Makes sense. They both die in 1 hit from a fireball though. Thankfully I read in a forum comment that they don't start taking damage until you step into a room, so you can spray out some of the fire before entering to make it a bit safer. Sadly they die from being engulfed in flames the second you do step in 25% of the time.
There's also an issue when the rescuees are following you, where they stupidly get caught on terrain occasionally. If you have those speed boots they'll lag behind you, increase the odds of them getting caught on terrain, and if you get too far ahead of them they just stop following you. Lastly, I hate that telling them to wait takes a few seconds of you staning there motionless while the clock ticks down.
It doesn't require you to stop moving to tell someone to f*** off for a minute. Trust me.
Each level you start with 5 minutes to fight the fire. It's not enough to clear the blaze, but you get one minute on the clock for ech human you bring to the entrance, or one heart for each cat. It keeps the time tight. But half the time can run down fighting your way through a computer room trying to get to the power room, and since many people die literally the second you step in a room this can get stupidly unfair. When you exit a floor after putting out all the fires, you start the next floor with the time you had left. So if you leave with 10 seconds on the clock you start with that. The game [i]should[/i] give you a minute if you have less at the start of a floor in my opinion.
I mentioned a meta-upgrade system. There is an annoyance with that too. You're shown that screen if you have enough tokens [b]and[/b] money to buy an upgrade when you start a game. If you don't have enough, you can't access it, and can't simply look at it or unlock categories with tokens, you need enough money to buy an upgrade in a category.
For all the annoyances, I'm enjoying the game and would recommend it to those who want a faster paced, and challenging, fire fighting game. Not that there's really any competition on the market that I know of.
For my closing sentence, imagine I wrote something witty about a burning sensation in reference to an STD while making sound like I'm talking about fighting fires, and saying how it was worth it. ː2016roastedː
[h1]EDIT:[/h1]
I've since played hours more & made it to zone 3 which is uttterly brokenly difficult.
They introduce... chemical "fires" that are green. I'm not sure which hose or extinguisher I'm supposed to use to put these out. The green blob just sits there while I hose or foam it, sometimes it slowly shrinks. Sometimes not. Depends on its mood I guess.
More often than not I have a very difficult time even getting out of the starter room because the first real room is usually filled with electric fires lining the walls that ignite each other, and chemical fires everywhere else that reignite the electrical fires too. That makes getting to the power room even more frustrating.
They introduce even more infuriating "fireball" mechanic in this zone too:
The BS fire out of nowhere.
It acts like the one where it spread fire to everything around it leaving trails of fire, but it comes from... vents(?) that aren't even on fire or smoking themselves.
Where previously NPC's in need of rescue would die instantly a noticable fraction of the time, now they die instantly almost [i]every[/i] time. My first time I got to this zone I did so from previous zones and had 9 minutes on the clock to begin with. When I beat floor 1 I had exactly 1 minute left because literally every single person died instantly the moment I stepped in a room.
[h1]Continued in comments section due to stupid review length limit.[h1]
Doesnt work for me. I start the game and my montior says "out of range". I have tried numerous things, posted to the forums, no response. I have spent hours trying ot get this game to run, changing settings, searching for config files, various arguments, switching monitors, etc. Will change if i get a fix, otherwise still not able to run game.
While great in some aspects, I find flaws in places that mean that I cannot reccomend this game. Yes, it's a cool concept. But it has a few major flaws, the first one being the extreme difficulty spike from level 9 onwards, The fires are VERY aggressive about spreading, and a fireball can completely incap a person or a cat if it hits them, or add HALF to your heat meter. Did I also mention that most, if not all, fireballs are targeted at you? Speaking of people and cats, While the people you have to rescue are fine, the cats can die before you clear the room if it's big enough, which means potentially losing a life because you had to run through half a room of flames. Also in the later levels, the time you have is very small, almost that you are rushing to find people to save constantly. I know the game is designed to be difficult, but half of the time your death was because RNG wasn't in your favor. When I lose, I don't feel like I messed up. I feel like the game decided the run was over.
Hard game that pits you against a burning building. It surpassed my low expectations and is actually decetly fun.
Ce jeu est Super !
Some great things in here and can be good fun but I really don't like how the timer is shared between levels and some decisions behind certain mechanics. Ends up being more frustrating a few levels in than anything. Levels are also randomly generated and end up feeling pretty same-y quite early on.
The first few hours i thought wow this game looks and plays cool.
Then i thought damn this is hard realy its unforgiving hard.
i had some doubts if i would stil like it after restarting the same thing over and over again. But i did after some time i got better i got some upgrades got more experienced at it and things got easyer.
Everytime you start the game the map is different. On the map rooms with people you can save to get a extra minute a piece and a cat for a extra life, along the way you can find items (life, waterbombs, time, water, foam, quest items) Turn of the power to stop electric fires and you do sidequests to earn tokens and tokens unlock upgrades (you can do a easy quest more than once to collect tokens)
There is something very satisfying in putting water on these fires if i had to say anything negative about it it would be that the upgrade/token part is not very clear in this game
Its unique cant say i ever played anything like it very enjoyable 9/10
If you’re like me there was a part of your childhood where you wanted to be a fire fighter. It’s one of the most common career ambitions among children around the world. And why wouldn’t it be? You get to save lives, be a hero and of course the chicks always dig the man in the uniform. It’s not until a little later in life that we realize that the goal isn’t as realistic as what we would have hoped. Our dreams dashed because it’s either too difficult to become a firefighter or the reality that you’d be putting your own life in danger too regularly scared the living daylights out of you and you reassessed your position. But now there is a way that you can live out your childhood dreams and be a firefighter. You’re still putting your lives on the line but this time its the virtual lives of the character that you play. That’s with Flame Over one of Laughing Jackal’s games on Steam and our first of three of their games over the next three days.
At it’s heart Flame Out is a top down shooter that has been designed in the form of a fire fighting game. The levels almost play out as puzzles whereby you need to determine whether you need to hose certain areas with water or extinguish them with foam. The game plays out as a real fire would for example foam is the only thing that will put out electrical fires. The game isn’t easy but it’s an enjoyable challenge that will have you learning its systems relatively quickly. I do recommend that you first playthrough the tutorial and understand the basic gameplay concepts and mechanics. It’s a different enough game that it really should be mandatory otherwise it’s likely that you will find yourself dying quickly and often when it comes to the legitimate levels, of which there are 16, in the game.
I was a big fan of the game’s presentation starting with the music and the comic stylistics of the graphics. It’s loaded chock full of charm that will take your breath away. When gameplay does get underway after the cool introduction it puts you in head first. It’s not easy from the beginning and you should take this as a sign of things to come. Other than just putting out and extinguishing fires you will have to do your job and save the myriad numbers of civilians that are spread out throughout each level. You need to do this concurrently to putting out the fires because each time you do you are awarded with an extra minute of time to complete the level.
The physics are pretty spectacular in the game as well. You’ll think that you’re on top of the fire and then holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ something you had forgotten about has shot a fireball restarting the blaze somewhere else. Thus you’re going to want that extra time I just told you about because fires will restart seemingly at will unless you’re super careful and Super Blazed. The blazing trail of destruction left by the fireballs will have you raging but will also aide you in becoming a better, smarter player. In that way the game asks a lot from your gaming ability but once you do learn you’ll feel as though you’ve grown as a player not only of this game but of others as well. I believe it takes a good game to do that.
This is one of those games that people will cry ‘rogue-like’ and where Total Biscuit’s discussion video about gaming terms he’d like people to avoid fits right in. Yes, it’s brutally difficult. Yes, it has some of the trademarks that would fit the genre but at the same time I wouldn’t classify it as a rogue-like. What I would classify it as is a bloody good game that you should at the very least try.

Really really close to a very good game, but has several major issues that hampered enjoyment for me. There are some major glitches involving upgrades, which end up making the game way too hard. There is also no way to save a game and resume it later, which makes actually beating the game agonizingly time consuming. Every four stages you unlock a new stage to start at, however you start with the same basic equipment regardless of which stage you begin with. This makes starting at later stages strategically meaningless, but also makes actually beating the game agonizingly time consuming.
I had a good deal of fun with it, as the main gameplay ideas (fight fires, save people) are pretty fun as presented here. However the game seems to really get in the way of itself, and I found myself more frustrated with the limitations presented than enjoying the progression of the game.
Could easily be patched and improved, but developers seem to have abandoned it. Oh well. For now, half-hearted shrug of mild dissapointment. I guess I'll thumbs up cause it was a good 5 hours of fun.
i got this game for free, but knowing that i don't like rougue/pyroguelike game mechanics and hard difficulty ones even less
i had seen this game in steam store before , got some infos about it but just skipped it knowing my gaming preferences
games looks ok and controlls feels also ok if you are into this kind of games
maybe in the future will give it one more try but for now i played a little 30 minutes and i feel is just not funny for myself
So, here's a rare thing. A non-violent computer game that I actually like.
Admittedly, I haven't spent numerous hours with this yet. This is just my first play session.
But this doesn't strike me as a marathon quest type of game. More of a 20 minutes here, 45 minutes there sort of thing.
And I'm not there to kill anybody. ...I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.
So... how does one do this.
Pros:
- Good if cartoony artwork.
- Procedurally generated levels. That means 'Random' levels for those of you out there that are my age.
- Fires are fun if rather dangerous to fight.
- Saving kitties!
- The controls take a bit of learning, but they aren't difficult and KB + Mouse works very well. I'm guessing one of those
new fangled twin stick jobs would work also.
Cons:
- While the music isn't bad per se, the repeating track is rather short and I'm already ready to turn it off.
- One difficulty level and one save slot. I don't think the save slot is a serious issue. The only thing failing a mission does
is list you as having a "loss" or a "DNF" or a Death... which is also a "DNF." But if your spouse want to try he or she has
to use your character and upgrades and stuff. *Blech* (By the way, I’m told DNF stands for Did Not Finish. In case you
were in the dark about that.)
- The tutorial level has the standard time limit. Which means you will be unlikely to know how things work till you
accidently get really good at the game.
Overall I'm liking this so far and do recommend it. Buuuut my limited time playing limits my authority to recommend this. But I'm recommending it anyway. Even if I don’t get to hurt anyone.
Awesome, unique, fun, and way too hard.
Prepare to be frustrated.
- Controls - Great
- Game Play - Great
- Music - Phenomenal
- Difficulty - Way to hard
nice game :)
The controls are okay, but a bit wonky at times. NPC pathing is not so good. The game has frozen up more times than I'd consider okay. Not sure how this got a Very Positive recommendation. But beyond all that, the game is just really kind of boring. Perhaps it's some lack of tension that makes it feel like it's just glorified erasing. Out of 10, I'd give this a 4 or 5.
Flame Over is cheap, decent fun in the vein of Human Entertainment's "The Firemen" for SNES (though with a much lighter sense of humour).
The good:
* Easy grasp gameplay
* Good replayability
* Novel core concept
The bad:
* A camera rotation system that adds nothing to the game, save low key annoyance
* Low quality AI (including fire AI, which considers rooms at the end of a hall "nearby" for the purpose of throwing fireballs)
* Some issues with gameplay refinement (The same amount of water is more or less effective depending on how you aimed the stream. It takes some calibration to learn how to apply your tools)
Overall, it's pretty good, but the little details will nibble at your enjoyment. And, this may be personal preference, but the slapstick angle of the game doesn't work as well as the much more serious and heroic tone of it's spiritual predecessor "The Firemen" (which, if you enjoy this game, is well worth your time to buy/emulate/whatever. It's better, if not nearly so replayable).
