Despite being the first responders to many a citywide emergency, there aren't a whole lotta games about firefighters out there. Starting fires in video games is cool. Putting them out? Not so much. Just think about walking around as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 3. That dude can light any candle or campfire with the snap of his fingers. Do you ever walk around making Geralt put out fires? No. You don't. Putting out fires doesn't garner as high of a Metacritic.
Rescue 2: Everyday Heroes looks at the other side of that coin. There are fires somewhere out there within city limits, and you've gotta put 'em out. I know you're a knuckle-dragging hoseman in the making. Now get out there, probie, and make your department proud. Maybe someday you'll climb the ranks from a peon firefighter to an engineer, the engine driver. Get enough experience in your turnout gear and you just might make captain or chief, running multiple fire stations throughout the city.
Rescue 2: Everyday Heroes has been out on PC and Mac as of June 3.

Reinhard Vree, Head of Product Management at rondomedia: "With RESCUE 2: Everyday Heroes we are able to offer fans exactly the game they wished for. The community’s feedback was an important sign post in the development process of RESCUE 2: Everyday Heroes, which enabled us to deliver the best game experience possible when it comes to rescue simulations. Compared with the game’s predecessor we have introduced enhancements in all areas, which will tremendously enrich the game and show that, when it comes to the production of rescue simulations, we are on the right track.”
llkka Immonen, CEO of Fragment Production Ltd: "As Rescue 2 introduces multiple fire stations, interactive 3D city map, reworked unit controls and numerous major gameplay improvements, the series have dramatically improved and developed further in terms of content and depth. Although it maintains the critically-acclaimed and very popular key elements of its predecessor - real-life inspira- tion and story-driven gameplay - this second part of the series is even more entertaining and manages to capture the thrill and beat of the firefighter profession. We believe that our capture of emergency situations will prove to become the key firefighting game in the market.”
