12/100 Games in 100 Days: Flash Point Fire Rescue

Anton Anton
Australia

Wow.
Just
Wow.

Never enjoyed Co-ops before.
Pandemic was pushing cubes.
Mansions of Madness tasted gamey.
Arkham Horror took 2 days to properly play and even then felt like solitaire.

Flash Point ignited something in me.
Maybe it was the simple gameplay, the evocative narrative or the eternal quest for man to dominate its natural predator: fire but it stirred something.

I'm pretty sure it was the box art.

Take a look at that guy. He wants to win so bad (against fire). Snap impulse buy

And that is what it feels like. A sudden race to get everyone out and do it quickly. I feel that the game needs less people to save and less of those POI counters to make it extremely tense but after 1 play (30 Mins) we were ready to go again.

Highlights was grabbing a person through a broken wall right before the room exploded. Like a boss.
Low Lights is watching room after room explode due to the 4th False alarm.

Till tomorrow.

Very entertaining summary!

One thing: that Facebook link isn't working.

Yeah, I have to say there is just "something" about this co-op game that the others lack. I think the theme just strikes a chord with players.

My most enjoyable kick starter backed purchase yet - I think it's great as you can tune the difficulty so when I play with my 5 year old son the game is tough but winnable and then when the grown ups play you can ramp the difficulty to whatever your pain threshold is.

And it oozes theme out of every detail - does not feel gamey at all
