“The best tactical shooter, no walking simulator just great gunplay, good maps and the smell of napalm in the morning!”
“Get this if you are disappointed with Battlefield 6. It's way more fun. This game provides the perfect balance between arcade shooter and light milsim elements. No game before or after it managed to achieve this kind of…”
“one of the best games of all time. Made me love the SKS so much that I bought one in real life. Some of the best memories in gaming I had. Too bad the player count is so low these days, there is an eternal itch I have…”

“A fantastic fps with some obvious technical faults. I wish tripwire knew how to maintain a community more but it's easy enough to find active servers with great matches.”
“My only regret is taking so long to check this game out. It's not dead yet, and thank god for that Big screen + headphones and it's like you're actually there. Very immersive game that forces you to use your brain a…”
“It's a good game, players are very good people and it has very good and happy and friend communities like Phanton Rebells community.”

“Fortunate Son is good but Run Through the Jungle is my favorite.”
“Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is still the gold standard for semi-casual milsim shooters in my eyes. It perfectly balances realism and accessibility. The gunplay feels deadly and immersive, the shooting mechanics are…”
“One of the all time GOATS The bad reviews never turned on Woodstock mode”

“0/10 unfortunately with no populated official servers, the 8-10 active servers are all player ran. it leads to abuse of powers as you can imagine. ie cheaters being overlooked by moderators, as well as the good ol boys…”

“Great game to meet americans with their almighty intelligence, they tell you all about how they are and what they're doing just to call you stupid. I love it, highlight of my day.”

“It's old. Old in a bad way. Typical multiplayer-shooter. There can only be certain number of classes on the map and if you won't spam-click or someone leaves the server, you won't get to play that class. Map is…”
“About as fun as a cactus backscratcher. Dying game with no offline with bots like the older games... even though this game will ultimately die is a huge negative for me. Sweaty player base which is expected with this…”
“这个游戏本质上是部分角色拥有掌控全局的能力，导致大多数人都抢这一两个角色。由于这种游戏官服没人玩，全在玩私服，导致这些角色如果想玩，必须给私服充会员，否则根本体验不到。即使侥幸抢到，也会被会员玩家辱骂并剔出服务器，可以说根本没有游戏体验。”

“I got into this game long past it's prime. Yeah, there's so few servers that I can't get a low ping match until the evening on weekdays. Yeah, it has some jank, bugs, and flaws that will never be fixed with a patch.…”
“as a new player u just keep getting sniped from nowhere :/”

“Obsolete ever since Military Conflict: Vietnam came out. That game is infinitely better than this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage. People act like it takes skill to play this, when it's basically just hardcore from CoD, but much worse.…”

“There is no such thing as a fortunate son in Saigon Matches so brutal they don't even bother given you a death total, it's to be expected you have the average lifespan of a cambodian teacher”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“GOOOOOOD MOOOOORNING VIETNAM! Its a good game because you can slip into a tunnel behind an enemy, crawl out and... get killed by friendly fire. It’s tactical, it’s deep, it’s... painful. But what an atmosphere! Don’t forget to put on your helmet, even though it won’t save you…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“This game walked so HLL could run. I bought this on sale for less than a McDonald’s cheeseburger and it’s the best $3.00 I ever spent. Fun!”
