Release Date: October 21, 2015
A game recreating the various situations encountered by coast guard officers, developed by Reality Twist - the team responsible for Ship Simulator: Maritime Search and Rescue.
Coast Guard, released on PC, is a game by Reality Twist studio, known for Marine Rescue Simulator. We play as a coastguard officer called Finn Asdair, who, together with his friends from the team, has to face a series of dangerous tasks. The team consists of engineer Fatima Morgane, chief investigator Colman Bauers and forensic medicine specialist Larry La Bouche.
The production is a simulator. Players carry out a variety of missions - sometimes, they have to save people from a burning ship, sometimes they have to get them out of the water or examine a shipwreck. The game focuses on several aspects. The basic one is, of course, steering two ships - the larger one is accompanied by a smaller boat, which is useful in some situations. In both cases, the action is shown from the third-person perspective.
In addition, in Coast Guard we can disembark the ship, for example, to search an island or a room on an oil platform. The camera switches to first-person perspective and we use our items to solve problems, e.g. we need a hammer to unlock a valve, just like in adventure games.
Coast Guard on PC is a three-dimensional production with good graphics. Some shots can look really good, but after taking a closer look at the environment, we can notice some shortcomings such as poor quality textures.

Game Ratings for Coast Guard Video Game.
The Digital Fix: 4 / 10 by Peter Taylor
Whilst there's some entertainment to be had it's certainly lacking in high seas high jinks.
Cubed3: 4 / 10 by Ofisil
While it's more disappointing than bad, Coast Guard's overall quality doesn't justify its current L14.00 price. It tries mixing the replication of real life scenarios dealing with maritime law enforcement, along with a lot of detective work, but it fails both ways in doing so. The simulation part is almost non-existent, and the detective one an uninteresting and slow-paced fetch quest - and if that wasn't enough, the various bugs, almost broken controls, and badly implemented game mechanics are more than enough reasons to throw this back to where it belongs: the digital ocean of shoddy video games.
GameGrin: 5 / 10 by Gary Sheppard
Not detailed enough for a simulator and not fast paced enough for an action adventure. Coast Guard is a game that needs to decide what it wants to be.
