What players say

THEY ARE IN THE TREES?!?! Nice addition to men of war series. Vietcong did dirty those pesky GIs. But burning whole swats of forests was such amazing feeling not too soon to be forgotten! 8/10

Vietnam is a unique entry in the Men of War series that shifts the focus from large scale WWII battles to the more personal, brutal conflicts of the Vietnam War. Instead of massive armies, the game leans into small squad based engagements, which gives it a very different pace and feel compared to its predecessors. One of the standout aspects is the atmosphere. The dense jungles, tight sightlines, and constant sense...

Man...This game crashes constantly, its fun, the foliage and trees are pretty sweet given its age but sweet jesus, save often and get ready to do the same thing over and over as it crashes, I want to recommend this game but I just can't in this condition. If you do play this game, watch out for the spike traps
