Rescue Team 7 Collector's Edition

Not all hobbies are safe and cozy, since some of them require you to push your body to the limits, as it the case with most extreme sports. In fact, people can often end up stranded or injured while engaging in some of these activities, which is when rescue teams come into action. Naturally, such situations can be dangerous for these teams as well, even if they are incredibly well-trained.

Rescue Team 7 is a time management game in which you have to save people from disaster-affected areas, as well as move quickly in order to make sure everyone makes it. The mechanics are not particularly original, on the other hand, so if you are familiar with time management games this should be very easy to get into from the first few minutes of game time.   In essence, everything revolves around clearing roads, gathering resources and using special vehicles to get to the people in trouble. The missions have different objectives, but at the end of the day they all use the same formula. Hence, the levels start with you having to clear paths and gathering resources, all in order to get to the survivors and get them out of dangerous situations.

Although some resources can be found by simply exploring the map, sometimes they are not enough, which is when you have the option to build certain structures. These provide you with wood, food or various other helpful resources, so the whole thing feels a tiny bit like an RTS as well. Don’t expect too much complexity, on the other hand, because this is still a casual game for non-hardcore audiences.   As far as the graphics are concerned, they are nothing too special either, but the colors are definitely enjoyable, and the same goes for the level design. Every stage is unique in this regard, so there are no chances to get bored along the way. A mouse is all you need in order to control all your units and easily get around the interface.

All things considered, Rescue Team 7 does not bring an awful lot of new ideas to the table, but it refines the basics of the genre and provides you with a great experience. Hence, it should be a great pick for time management buffs everywhere.
