Game Overview

On a routine run over the Vietnam war-zone your chopper is taken down in VC territory. It’s up to you and your squad to make it out of the VC infested region and liberate civilians. You’re in total command as you make your way through war-torn Vietnam and eliminate the VC insurgence.

The Good

Provides a decent distraction, Some room for strategy, It's cheap.

Surrounded by the enemy, players must rally their squad and lead them back to safety. Along the way, players must fend off repeated assaults while liberating oppressed villagers.
