Evaluation

Men of War: Vietnam launched on September 8, 2011. Developer activity on this title was brief and entirely contained within the first two months after launch: a hotfix on September 13, 2011 addressed multiplayer sync issues, and a feature patch on October 28, 2011 added map editor tools, difficulty adjustments, and miscellaneous fixes. There have been no developer communications specific to Men of War: Vietnam since October 2011. The single DLC listed on the store (Men of War: Vietnam DLC 1) has been released. All subsequent news posts from the developer are about Men of War II, an entirely separate sequel that launched on May 15, 2024. The game launched as a self-contained, story-driven tactics title with two campaigns, and all available evidence points to it having been a complete, finished product since late 2011.

About this game

Two sides. One brutal war.

Men of War: Vietnam brings the acclaimed real-time tactics series into a new theater of war – the jungles of Southeast Asia, 1968. Experience the chaos of the Vietnam War through two story-driven campaigns that reveal both sides of the conflict.

In the U.S. campaign, you’ll command an elite team of Special Forces soldiers – Sergeant John Merrill, machine gunner Jim Walsh, sniper Sonny Armstrong, grenadier Carl Dillan, and combat engineer Bill Kirby. Each mission throws them into impossible situations: deep behind enemy lines, cut off from reinforcements, relying only on skill, courage, and each other.

The North Vietnamese campaign tells a different story – one of survival and endurance. Two Soviet advisors and two NVA soldiers, the only survivors of an ambush, must fight their way home through enemy territory, across Cambodia, Laos, and the Mekong Delta during the chaos of the Tet Offensive.

Missions range from stealth operations and rescues to full-scale assaults, ambushes, and desperate defenses. Dense jungles, narrow trails, and muddy rivers become both allies and enemies, testing every tactical instinct you have.

Key Features:

  • Two story-driven campaigns – fight the war from both perspectives: U.S. Special Forces and the North Vietnamese Army.

  • Authentic combat scenarios – ambushes on the Ho Chi Minh trail, raids into Cambodia and Laos, bridge defenses, and urban battles during the Tet Offensive.

  • New era, new arsenal – wield iconic weapons like the M16, AK-47, RPG-2, M60, and M72 LAW, and command vehicles such as the T-54, M113, and Patton III.

  • 4-player co-op multiplayer – tackle missions together with friends. Men of War is affected by the GameSpy shutdown on the 31st of May. You can continue to play the game through LAN, DirectIP and GameRanger.

  • Cinematic atmosphere – rock ’n’ roll radio, Hueys over the jungle, and the heat of 1968 brought to life.
