The Emergency Experience

Quick Note : Most of my experience was in free-play just for informative purposes.

The Emergency series is one i was introduced to about 4-5 years ago at this point with Emergency 4 Deluxe. Overall, i enjoyed it and had got many hours of enjoyment out of it (even got my dad into it).

The notable improvements over EM4
Emergency 20 or Emergency 5+ Emergency 2016 and Emergency 2017 (with 20th anniversary nostalgia fuel missions) is a upgrade graphically and in some mechanical ways in my opinion coming from EM4. Police actually carry pistols instead of just SWAT before, you can barricade off a scene with tape, and there are 3 free-play maps now.

The faults of this game
The biggest disappointment was the lack of mods generally compared to Emergency 4. The automatic return to base feature thingy when your paramedics or cops load the occupants can be annoying since they leave their coworkers behind. Additionally, RIP Fire Plane you will be missed.

Free-play callouts
The callouts seem to be the same or similar to EM4 with some new ones like a DB ICE3 derailment (yes i like trains way too much) and tram wrecks. There are also some calls related to incidents at a major concert and police calls where you bust up illegal substance trade is the best way to put it.

Summary and Conclusion
Overall, at this point i recommend getting it on sale due to this game being 6 years old at this point. It looks like Sixteen Tons has focused on the mobile game more than this game if you catch my drift.

Hope my transcribed experience will help you in your decision on whether to get this game or not.
