Real Heroes Firefighter 3D

Real Heroes Firefighter 3D is a first-person simulation video game for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii, developed by Epicenter Studios and published by Conspiracy Entertainment. It was released on September 12, 2012, by Zordix and a remastered PC version (on Steam) was released on March 14, 2017, by Flying Tiger Entertainment, with a high definition re-release published by Ziggurat Interactive on January 21, 2021.

A newly graduated fire academy cadet, dubbed “Probie”, begins his professional firefighting career in the Los Angeles Engine Company 13 firehouse, consisting of Lieutenant Dylan Scott, Captain Tomihiro Kotaka, Engineer Ed Martin, veteran Louis “Match” Morris and younger firefighters Marc Cameron and Ezzy Vasquez. Prior to his first mission, Probie is tasked by Scott to complete a training course, with Cameron playing a victim.

In the heat of yet another fire season in the city, Probie and Engine Company 13 respond to eight different fire situations in unique locations: an industrial park, a shopping mall, a neighborhood, a high-rise building, a museum, a robotics research facility, a bridge, and an amusement park. Throughout these missions, the firefighters extinguish flames and rescue citizens, including pets and fellow firefighters, left and right. There are eight playable fire scenarios (excluding a brief tutorial level), with most of them divided into multiple acts by a loading screen.

Once the player finishes an act, the next act begins immediately and the player cannot go back to the previous one until the current level is completed with all acts completed in order. Each act will have several checkpoints that play will resume from should the firefighter perish in the line of duty or fail a critical objective, and the firefighter can gradually recover health lost from hazards by moving to a safe area. Each scenario features diverse hazards, objectives and level design, as well as four secret, optional collectibles to add replay value.

The four collectibles consist of three “Fire Cause Determination” pieces, represented as golden fire department badges, that will unveil the cause of the fire leading to the events of the level, as well as an item that unlocks special skins for equipment. In between levels, the player can navigate through Engine Company 13’s firehouse, with all menu options presented diegetically as objects in three rooms: the recreation room, the office and the garage.
