While scrolling through the upcoming Switch releases this morning, this new addition to the sim genre caught our eye. What’s this? THQ Simulator?<\/em> we thought for the briefest of moments before re-reading the title. Nope, this new game from prolific sim publisher Aerosoft<\/a> actually casts you as part of a specialist relief organisation charged with protecting the public from various environmental hazards.<\/p>\n

Trucks, Helicopters and Other? Transport for Horses and Objects? According to the publishers, THO stands for \u201cTechnischen-Hilfs-Organisiation\u201d and appears to be modelled (from what we can gather) after the mostly volunteer German organisation Technisches Hilfswerk \u2014 that’s the THW, or ‘Federal Agency for Technical Relief’ (thanks Wikipedia<\/a>). This Switch release looks to be a version of a mobile game that has you sorting out all sorts of logistical problems as part of a civil organisation through a variety of mini-games.<\/p>\n

Still a little perplexed? Here’s the description from the official eShop page<\/a>, plus a list of features courtesy of the Google Play Store<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnischen-Hilfs-Organisiation\u201d THO, examine damage, ensure safe roads and carry out a controlled blasting!<\/p>\n
