Step into the role of a high-stakes commander in Emergency 2016, a deep strategy and simulation experience where every second counts. Designed for players who crave the pressure of managing complex crisis scenarios, this title puts you at the helm of fire, police, technical relief, and paramedic services. Whether you are dealing with localized accidents or large-scale urban disasters, your ability to direct first responders with precision will determine the survival of the city.

Mastering the Chaos: Gameplay and Mechanics

In Emergency 2016, you do not just watch the action unfold; you actively dictate the response. The gameplay revolves around manual tactical command. You are responsible for dispatching various emergency vehicles to the scene, instructing individual responders to exit their units, and giving specific, direct orders to each person on the ground. This level of granular control makes managing a scene incredibly immersive, though it can become hectic when multiple crises strike simultaneously.

The simulation covers a wide spectrum of challenges:

  • Tactical Management: Manually guide firefighters, police officers, and paramedics through complex environments.
    • centuries-old plagues or modern-day terrorism.
  • Resource Coordination: Command over 20 unique vehicles across the fire brigade, rescue service, police, and technical relief forces.
  • Post-Operation Cleanup: Ensure efficiency by directing your units to return to their vehicles and clear the scene once the danger has passed.
  • Creative Freedom: Utilize a powerful integrated editor to create your own custom scenarios or collaborate with friends online on shared projects.

A Journey Through Time: Story and Setting

The campaign in Emergency 2016 offers a unique historical perspective that sets it apart from traditional modern-day simulators. The game features a specialized medieval map set in Cologne, where you take on the role of a plague doctor attempting to stem an epidemic under the shadow of the new cathedral using the medical remedies available of that era.

Centuries later, the stakes return to the modern metropolis. You will navigate through the streets of major German cities, including Berlin, Cologne, Munich, and Hamburg. The campaign oscillates between minor accidents and massive, unanticipated events like infernos, spring floods, and criminal threats, ensuring that the tension remains high from the first tutorial to the final mission.
