Men of War: Vietnam

Mechanics

In the majority of missions for both sides of the conflict, we have a squad of soldiers at our disposal, each one having their specialization (e.g. sniper or explosive specialist). The gameplay involves silent and precise operations, sometimes brining that of the first installment of the Commandos series, rather than open combat. Every now and then, our men receive of the regular American army or the South Vietnamese forces but usually in the form of AI-controlled allies.

Rescuing American prisoners, clearing out bunkers, taking over important strategic points (e.g. bridges), or eliminating enemy officers are just some of the missions we will have to perform. During both campaign, we can experience, among other things, an ambush on the Ho Chi Minh trail, murderous hunts in Mekong Delta, armed raids in Cambodia, or defending a bridge during the Tet Offensive. We can do these things using completely new hardware (for the series), including the classical Huey choppers or M48 tanks.

Technical aspects

Men of War: Vietnam for PC offers pretty good graphics powered by the engine known from the previous installments of the series. Densely forested areas, where combat takes place, make quite an impression.
