## Description
_Sakurazaka Sh ōbōtai_ is a firefighting action with a strong emphasis on
effective teamwork. The player controls Daichi Honjō, a hotshot rookie
straight out of academy who has just joined the Sakurazaka City Fire Station.
While the player directly controls Daichi on the ground, and uses a fire hose
to extinguish the flames, the game can be paused at any time to check the
status of your teammates and give them directions. It is also possible to use
an axe to break obstacles or debris, and it’s entirely possible to get caught
in a backdraft when opening doors.
Equally as important as getting the fire under control is finding and rescuing
survivors, helping them escape and reach safety, as well as searching for
evidence as to how a fire started. Between missions, the player works together
with local law enforcement to examine the evidence gathered. In addition to
the main story mode, there is also a free mission mode and a survival mode,
both for one or two players.
