About the Game
In Global Rescue, you take command of building and operating your own emergency services base. Coordinate missions, manage personnel and vehicles, customize your base — and take on the thrilling day-to-day operations of various first responder units: fire department, police, EMS, and even SWAT.
Thanks to realistic map data, you can freely choose your location anywhere in the world, from your own hometown to any city around the world!
Make sure your fleet and employees are always ready for action. Upgrade vehicles, train your staff, and expand your base using an extensive research tree.
From extinguishing fires and handling traffic accidents to questioning witnesses, treating medical emergencies, or coordinating high-risk SWAT operations, Global Rescue offers a wide range of authentic emergency scenarios. With the integrated mission editor, you can also create your own operations to face fresh challenges, all within a vibrant 3D world!
Using accurate Overture Map data, you have the freedom to establish your base anywhere in the world! Paris, Tokyo, Washington, Rio de Janeiro, or right in your hometown. Where will you begin your service?
Plan your base layout carefully: ensure enough space for wash bays, parking and everything needed to keep your emergency vehicles ready for deployment. At the same time keep office spaces, break rooms, and sanitation facilities in mind to keep your staff efficient.
Continuously expand and optimize your base to meet the growing demand and daily challenges. A wide variety of objects and furniture gives you the freedom to customize your base just the way you like it.
In Global Rescue, you'll have access to a wide selection of emergency vehicles across police, fire, EMS, and SWAT units. Build your fleet from 23 highly detailed vehicle types, including American, European, and Asian vehicles, either in standard liveries or with custom skins.
Ensure you have enough parking spaces, garages, wash bays, and fuel stations to keep your vehicles ready at all times. Only a well-maintained fleet can handle the challenges ahead!
