Rescue HQ – The Tycoon.

It’s Friday and today we’ll be looking at some latest releases in indies for this week. First up from the developers at stillalive Studios and their publisher Aerosoft studio, we’ll take a look at Rescue HQ – The Tycoon, (recently released on the 28th of May) a casual sim and tycoon management style strategy game, with the goal of managing a station that will be used for joint action for emergency service such as firefighters, EMT’s with ambulances and police officers. You’ll need to manage your resources and navigate your way around challenging crises and other emergencies to keep your city from the peak of disaster.

Game Mechanics

Start off by responding to the needs of your citizens, and recruit expert staff, giving them the possibility and access to a wide array of vehicles to help them adapt to the needs they’re facing in their town, by enabling them to have all the proper conditions to pull off their emergencies in a proper way. In Rescue HQ, you’ll focus on 3 main service aspects: firefighters, police and medical response teams and other emergency services. Make use of more than 20 vehicles; Equip and send your crew in vehicles to locations with critical accidents or disasters and support your city with helicopters, ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, and more vehicles.

Design your perfect HQ as a rescue hotspot, while organizing and managing all the various aspects of community service to keep your city and citizens safe! Then you’ll need to make constant expansions and adding more rooms while planning and setting interactive elements and operations like garages, prisons, kitchens, offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, workshops, breakrooms, gyms so they have the proper working places and conditions. You’ll also want to train your departments very carefully, and keep them well fed, cleaned, and rested, as well as taken care of properly, so your team can be expertly ready when tragedy hits. Finally, you’ll need to manage your resources and finances skillfully to balance revenue and expenses, while often making tough decisions to properly expand and grow your community support for the city.

Custom Creations & Modibility!

Rescue HQ has the possibility to be extensively modded to your will or whatever you can imagine of it. Prepare and create exceptional and unusual assets, maps, and missions using the F# language and Unity engine. Go on to share your creations with the community via the Steam Workshop or download the mods from others, in what appears to be an extensive addition to the game. The game is yours to fantasize, get to work and prove your skills in what it takes, your city counts on you!
