Experience the adventure of the Vietnam war !

You start your career as a Sergeant called Martin Lionsdale, new recruit of the US Army.

As you succeed in your missions, you will rise in rank to become a Lieutenant. As such, you will be responsible for a full platoon of specialised infantrymen : riflemen, sniper, scout, machine gunner, grenadier, engineer, commando, etc. In the course of the story, you immerse the feeling of the Vietnam war…

• A highly realistic approach

• The game covers the period from the early days of the conflict (late 1965) to the height of battle in 1968 and faithfully recreates some of the most important moments of the Vietnam war. Combat and weapons are as realistic as possible, real-life tactics take full use of the US Army’s reports and documents.

• An outstanding Game Quality

• The game is developed by Digital Reality, the Hungarian studio behind titles such as Imperium Galactica I & II and Haegemonia, which enjoyed worldwide success. Their engine has been improved for Platoon and features tremendous visual effects.
