Hello my friends, today we continue our Indie games adventure with you from where we left off. It's been a long time since I've shared an Indie game with you because I've been focusing more on collecting than playing these days. The reason is Steam's decision to withdraw from the Turkish Lira. Maybe I will share this topic in detail in another post. Without further ado, let's move on to our game 911 Operator.
What kind of a game is 911 Operator?
911 Operator, as the name suggests, is a game where you work in an emergency call center and help the people who call you. According to the incoming calls, you direct Ambulance, Fire, Police and Rescue teams to the scene. You play the game only with the mouse. The graphics are modest and you can run this game on any computer. The game doesn't have a soundtrack, instead you listen to the above mentioned teams talking to each other. The genre of the game is Indie and Strategy.
My 911 Operator Experience
There was a short tutorial when I started the game and I learned it easily because the game is not very complicated. I didn't have much difficulty because I only received a few simple calls in the first tutorial. The things requested in the calls were very simple and clear. Sometimes the people who call you in the game call to make fun of you and I ignored them.
I have to admit that I had a little bit of difficulty in my first serious episode, the maps get bigger and bigger as the episodes progress and if you do not distribute the teams correctly at the beginning of the day, you may have a big problem catching up everywhere. So that's what I do at the beginning of each day, I spread the teams across the map, but even so, there were some cases where I arrived very late.
At the end of each day you get a report on how the day went and what I realized here is that you should take a look at even these silly calls. Because if you don't do that, you get negative points for that too and you can fail just for that alone. What you need to pay attention to here is that you should check these last. Because if you look at these when you are very crowded, you will not be able to catch up with anything. I found it a bit ridiculous and I don't understand why it was given a negative score. Someone calls the emergency service and asks for a cigarette. Should I send a policeman there? That's ridiculous. Anyway, if you are not successful enough as a result of these reports, you have to play that episode again. In the report, you can see the details of all the calls and cases you dealt with that day.
One thing I like about the game is that in the transition screens or at the start of the game, they give you tips on first aid etc. that will be useful in real life. How to deal with poisonous snakes, how to recognize them and what to do if you get bitten, all these questions have answers in these tips. This is just one example and there are many other tips. I don't even remember how many there are in total.
After completing the mission, the day, you earn money to buy equipment for the characters in your team, to add people to your team, or to create a team directly. I bought some equipment for my team, for example I bought pistols for some cops, but I never earned enough money to buy a new team member or a new team.
My General Opinion
I've played the game for a few hours and my opinion is positive, would I play this game more? I don't think so because then I'd start to get bored. You're doing the same things in general, I'm going to get more ridiculous searches in the next chapters, I'm going to try to control a bigger map and I think that's the way the game is going to get harder. Maybe one or two new teams can be added but that's it. I have to admit, though, that my experience was pretty good when I played it. I really felt like an Emergency Call Center employee and I tried to act accordingly. I must admit that I had fun. That's why I'll give the game 6.5-7 out of 10. I think that's what the game is aiming for anyway. It would be unfair to overestimate the game and give it a very low score because of that. Besides, I got this game for free from the Epic Games Store, I can't expect much more from a free game.
Thank you very much for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. Have you seen or tried this game before? You can share your thoughts about the game in the comments section. Take care and have a great day my friends and don't forget to play a lot of games.
Play More, Live More!
