About the 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.
