“The craziest ♥♥♥♥ happens in this game. Ull stumble upon a VC base and get into a firefight where all hell break loose and suddenly a goose sprints full speed into the middle of everything as rockets and mortars fall…”
“I really really want to enjoy this game, because I do enjoy the gameplay. But every time I play this game it ends in a crash...”
“Please keep working on this game. There is truly nothing else like it. It's so close to being in a state where it needs to be, we just need some performance fixes and some serious AI work and this game would be perfect…”

“This game is janky, trippy, buggy, and a whole bunch of other things. It's also the best Vietnam War game ever made. If you look past the surface, this game is an excellent simulation of pretty much what you could do on…”
“GOOD: -This game has a lot more to it than I imagined it would based on the trailer clips. The graphics are simple, but also creative, cool and fun. The map is so detailed and extensive. The Southern Vietnam province…”
“Has a huge map consisting of. Laos. Cambodia. North and South Vietnam, Midwestern USA with Canada and a New Mexico, a siberia you can visit and do spy missions, you can be a draft dodger and smoke 'special' cigarettes…”

“This game is very laggy and you will stutter, especially when flying around in air vehicles. Game is quite fun and massive in scale. There are A LOT of bugs in this game, the lone dev is trying his best to fix them when…”
“It's one of those games you play because you see what the dev is trying to do and they're working towards it. Not a cash grab. Interesting mechanics and premise. It may never live up to it's potential but that's ok as…”

“Really enjoy the game HOWEVER stop adding content before polishing what is here, the UI and menu system is abysmal, random stuttering and framedrops, broken squad system and quite frankly a bad movement system.”
“The Dev doesn't play his own game. Let me break it down, from what I learned. I have a good PC, like- really good, so I know its not my specs are not the issue, but the frames can be HORRIBLE especially with artillery…”

“I nonironically spent two tours in country, gave going back to the States a try, realized how empty and meaningless it was after a few beers and hamburgers... and hopped back onto a plane to Sai Gon within 20 minutes…”
“TLDR: Way too unpolished and unstable/buggy for now In general it's very clunky but still fun, since the game gives you a lot of freedom. I constantly have stable 60fps, however at some point the game keeps stuttering…”
“This game seems fun. janky. and i mean JANKY but it's pretty cool. May only get better! I wish we could rebind some basic keys.”
