Players describe Rescue Team as a fun and engaging time management game. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note it is simple and repetitive but solid for the genre. [4][5][6] A few players find it inferior to similar games like 12 Labours of Hercules. [7][8][9]

Rescue Team is a pointless "12 Labours of Hercules" screen tapper/clicker game. There's no gameplay, just tapping on the screen. The game is made to look like you're making interesting decisions as you're presented with a map of a town/village/pathway that has you clicking on various things to collect things which are then consumed when you click on an obstacle, which unlocks more things to click on. This is so lame …

Rescue Team is a fun little Time Management game developed by the same folk who gave us the Treasures of Montezuma series. The premise is simple, disaster has struck three small islands and you must send workers to rescue stranded residents and repair the damage. Sounds good to me. Time management games generally aren't my forte, but this little gem is a lot more fun and engaging than I was expecting. Gameplay …

This has been described as a time management game and it is, but it's a little more. Cons first The background music is very anoying. You won't miss it though if you turn it off. The art style isn't bad, it's just very kid style. So if that bothers you.. I think it's a phone port. Pros now The game style is your typical, fix these problems by this time and get this level medal. But you'll find yourself enjoying the …

Short version: 64% An oldie but goodie time management game. Rescue Team is a tad repetitive and misses some convenience features, but the fun level design makes up for some of the shortcomings. Long version: Rescue Team is a typical time/resource manager with the usual mechanics: use 2-3 workers to collect resources, and then spend them on various level goals—mainly road work and reconstruction, expanded with a …

92% of the 66 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Rescue Team. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive levels and lack of story. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

During each level, you are given a certain number of workers -- plus the potential of freeing others by removing debris. Your workers will then rebuild the town by repairing structures, collecting resources, rescuing villagers, and putting out fires. As you progress through the levels, you earn money that can be used to repair your personal villa, which has also…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rescue Team is time management game. It has little different control solutions, like you can't queue the orders and couple of small similar details. Generally it brings nothing new to the genre, but if you like such games, you won't be disappointed. It's not the best time management game I've ever played but it is solid piece of code. Everything works fine and it's not so easy to beat all levels with shorter time limit. Generally very nice game for such low price. What is definitely missing is…

You play through 60 levels where you manage a crew appointing them to do various tasks within a short time frame, about 3-5 minutes. There are two awards you can get for finishing a level. The silver is for finishing around 5 minutes and is quite easy to get while the gold you get for finishing around 3 minutes and is often trickier. If you want…

neutral · AI labelView post →TL:DR: Hey, it's currently (as of the Steam Summer sale) 49 cents and you get 5 or 6 hours of fun out of it. Extended review: One thumb up. It's a basic time-management game. 60 interchangeable levels, and while you can't get gold on all of them without paying attention, you can easily get silver. No glitches and it works fine under Windows 10. No plot, no hero characters and no achievements, so knock off a thumb if you need those things; this is a pure puzzle game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute joy of a game! It just makes you feel good after each level when the village/city folks come out of their houses and businesses to thank you with a friendly wave after you have fixed up their part of the city. The city has been damaged greatly by a tornado and it is your job to clean and fix it all up. This game is fluid, extremely addictive and really hard to put down. The graphics are fun and give you a happy feeling. This is a great casual game for hardcore gamers that want to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as these types of games go, Rescue Team isn't as good as most. The difficulty in getting gold varies wildly per level. You could hit a nearly impossible gold in the first 5 levels, then level 10 be easy as pie, then level 11 is hard as nails. That's just to get gold, not to complete the level, which is overly easy. The juggling aspect of the game sometimes leaves you with no option but to wait. These type of games are designed good when every move is planned out and following that…
