"This means, unfortunately, Firegirl: Hack ’n Splash Rescue is still a work in progress. All of the right elements are here, but they’re not coalescing into what should be the optimal firefighting experience. I truly believe there is a great …"

"Firegirl: Hack &s;n Splash Rescue DX is an imperfect but interesting roguelite on Nintendo Switch. The premise is promising, and it&s;s even entertaining, though performance on the console could be improved. Its length can make certain levels repetitive."

"Gameplay is well thought out, but unfortunately not fantastically executed. In addition to extinguishing fires, the story also has little to no depth. That&s;s why Firegirl gets a 4."
