Released on mobile AND and iOS devices, Emergency is a mobile version of the popular PC strategic series in which, by taking control of the local crisis management centre, we fight against the consequences of various accidents, catastrophes and natural disasters. The series was initiated in 1998 by the German Sixteen Tons Entertainment studio and over the course of a dozen or so years it has seen four full-length versions (and a version for Nintendo DS) and numerous updates. The same development team is also responsible for the mobile version of Emergency, which is not a conversion of any of the previous versions of the series and was created from scratch with mobile users in mind.
### Story
In accordance with the tradition of the series, during the game we take care of the local rescue centre, which is controlled by the police, fire brigade, medical rescue and technical services. Our task is to combat the effects of various accidents, catastrophes and natural disasters by sending appropriate units to action and providing assistance to the victims.
### Mechanics
The mechanics of playing in the mobile version of Emergency does not differ significantly from the solutions known from the fully-fledged versions of the series. The creators have put at the disposal of players 13 different scenarios, in which our main task is to send appropriate rescue units and perform certain activities on the scene of an accident or catastrophe. While playing, we face a variety of challenges, such as securing the scene of an accident and saving the lives of its victims, fighting raging fires and even the liquidation of terrorists. A range of 18 units for various purposes – from classic radio cars, ambulances or fire-fighting vehicles, to specialist units such as a vehicle with a swivel ladder, rescue helicopter, etc. – can be used as an aid.
It is also worth emphasizing that the action at the scene of the disaster is developing dynamically, so depending on the actions we take and their effectiveness, during each mission a whole series of unforeseen events may also occur, which pose an additional challenge for the player. The above solution also makes it possible for each of the missions available in the game to be performed in several different ways, and players can approach the game many times, using different tactics and improving the score achieved.
### Technical issues
The Emergency graphics on AND and iOS devices obviously deviate from the latest fully-fledged cycle views known from PCs, and are much more reminiscent of previous series views in terms of style. However, the whole was realized in a clear and aesthetic way, and the main difference during the game is the touch control model created for mobile platforms.
