Fun and challenging
Not recommended Sep 17, 2026
The game is very fun. I played Emergency 4 over and over again loving every moment of it. This game has the potential but is lacking the depth the older games had. Having only 5 units at any given time is a great addition for managing resources better. I really have enjoyed playing this game for hours however there are a few things that aren't designed properly. Overlooking the fact that the maps and calls get repetitive after a short period of time. My main issue is the micro transactions. I wanted one of the upgrades that allow me to have 2 engineers in the the car instead of only 1. Find the card no issues then look at the price. 16,000 research points. No issues, how many do I have? 400.. Okay.. How many does a mission give me? 10.. Okay, so I can unlock this upgrade in exactly 1,600 games. Or with other words in about or in about 24,000 hours if we take the average game takes about 30 minutes. And yes, I know there are rewards that give some extra research points and you can play harder difficulties that give 25 instead of 10 but that is still a large number of games, and this is for only 1 upgrade, we didn't speak about the upgrades withing upgrades that cost 10,000 in game …
