Firegirl: Hack ‘n Splash Rescue will come to PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Xbox in 2022. To celebrate the launch, Dejima have released their second dev commentary video, which details the core structure and roguelite loop players can expect when they strap on their Fire Rescue uniform and head out into the city.
“We can’t believe Firegirl is finally out on PC! It’s such an exciting and important milestone for us. We’ve spent years building and refining Firegirl: Hack ‘n Splash Rescue into what we hope many players will see as an excellent roguelite rescue platformer,” said Julien Ribassin, founder of Dejima. “Roguelite rescue platformer is a somewhat unique genre description, which is why we put together our two dev commentary videos. The first one released a couple weeks ago and introduces players to the core mechanics. The video we released today demonstrates the core gameplay structure, so anyone curious about what the meat of the game is can see how all the elements gel together. Thanks to everyone who plays our game and please let us know what you think!”
Firegirl: Hack ’n Splash Rescue is a roguelite platformer where you take on the role of a young fire rescue officer breathing new life into her rundown local fire station. Armed with your trusty axe and high-pressure fire hose that also doubles as a jetpack, respond to emergency calls that bring you to dangerous procedurally generated blazes across the city. When Firegirl arrives on the scene, she has 3 minutes to save all the civilians caught in the blaze! Extinguish fire monsters to buy more time in these tricky missions where you will feel the heat as you battle to get the job done. Uncover the truth of why these fires have engulfed the city, in a mystery that goes all the way to the top!
Between high-octane missions where you will be boosting your jumps with your hose, extinguishing dastardly pyro-monsters, and rescuing trapped civilians (and cats!), you can hang out at the Firehouse. Here, you can upgrade your equipment and hire new staff to make you more effective in tackling the challenging blazes to come. You’ll need all the help you can get to survive in this fun, thrilling and tricky roguelite!
