Firegirl: Hack 'n Splash Rescue DX Reviews

FireGirl Hack 'n Splash Rescue DX - 100% Completed Review Score 5/10 - Get It On Discount Sale A interesting Arcade Like game about fighting fire monsters in old Retro Style gameplay Pro's -Good Pixel Art -Music is alright -Decent enough gameplay loop -Good animation -Nice throwback to the old Zombies Ate My Neighbors game with the art style of the Npc's Neutrals (No Score Change from These): -Despite being a fire fighting game your better off just ignoring most of the fire enemies -Protag is a bit generic but otherwise fine Con's -Way over priced for a 4 hour game -Lack of common sense sound effects that should have easily been in the game -Very buggy: Freezes, Savable Npc's sometimes not showing up, Camera often flips out, mouse controls sometimes stop working -Beginning before you get any upgrades is frustrating, you can't even reach the upper floors without the boost upgrade... -Story is all over the place and completely nonsensical Overall this game is just barely passable, it's not bad but it's not good either, it's just average, the game clearly needed more development time to sand out the rough edges, best way to describe it is a Arcade Like game that you would spend a quarter on at the old Arcades to pass the time and i would only get it if you like Arcade Like games and if it's on a decent discount sale, but as always, It's.. Up.. To.. You, and i'll leave it that (^_−).

Not great, but not bad. Should have been a level based game rather than a rogue-like as the random levels and repetition adds nothing to the game. Core platforming and concept is fun, and the graphics are a nice blend of pixel and 2.5D, and the story is fine, albeit janky. I swear I missed a cutscene or two because the ending and twist just feels out of nowhere. What really would kill the game for a lot of players is how it takes a while to get up to speed. Until you get some decent upgrades to hose power and water tank capacity, it's damn hard to get through a whole level while saving everyone, and until you start gaining fans at a good rate, getting funds is a slow process. The RNG can also make progress and play annoying as it can take forever to get to the people/items in a level, or you could get them at the very start. Or, you can get the same kind of level over and over and over again. There's four types of levels, and I was only getting one for the first third of the game. My recommend, get it cheap, real cheap.
