    The gameplay of "Military Conflict: Vietnam" is widely praised for its addictive and intuitive mechanics, blending elements from classic titles like Call of Duty and Counter-Strike with a focus on fast-paced, arcade-style shooting. Players appreciate the diverse weapon selection, smooth gunplay, and well-designed maps, although some note issues with repetitive gameplay and a lack of multiplayer engagement. Overall, the game offers a solid experience for fans of military shooters, particularly in single-player modes, while also showing potential for growth with community support and future updates.

    • “Game has familiar COD-like mechanics and modes, progression, authentic Vietnam War aesthetics, guns that are fun to shoot, and well-designed maps.”
    • “The gameplay is immediately intuitive, and while there is a learning curve, it doesn't require more than an hour before you get a feel for it.”
    • “Fast-paced and fun, addictive, and awesome gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is really bad; the game tries to be like Call of Duty but still aims for realism with low time-to-kill. The main problems for me are the wanky movement, static spawns (c'mon, it's 2023!), weird weapon balancing, and no hitmarkers. Sadly, right now the game is really bad and boring.”
    • “While the gameplay is certainly punishing and does reward guerrilla tactics, the atmosphere doesn't really sell one of the nastiest and most grotesque armed conflicts in human history.”
    • “The closest comparison I can make for how this game feels and operates is that it's a more 'modern' take on Day of Defeat or the very first Call of Duty game; not a complete one-to-one in terms of gameplay, but much more accessible with a few additions that actually improve the overall experience for the player.”
  • graphics40 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many players noting that they are solid and appropriate for the source engine, showcasing a nostalgic yet modern aesthetic. While some reviews mention that the visuals can appear dated compared to contemporary titles, others appreciate the clarity and design of the graphics, emphasizing their effectiveness in enhancing gameplay. Overall, the visuals are described as above average, with room for improvement, but they contribute positively to the game's atmosphere and experience.

    • “The graphics are quite appropriate and prove that the source engine has aged gracefully.”
    • “Graphics are a noticeable improvement over the classic Day of Defeat Source with a nice touch of modernization.”
    • “Visually speaking overall, I think the game has hit the sweet spot for looks, as unlike a lot of FPS games being released these days, it doesn't apply a hundred different special effect filters onto the screen, which would muddy the image and make it hard to discern what you need to shoot.”
    • “Also can't seem to make the graphics less blurry; even if I shut those settings down, it's still blurry.”
    • “The graphics are laughable for $20. I think 'Men of Valor' from the early 2000s had more accurate representations of uniforms and kit for both sides. I mean, the M1 helmet looks like a popcorn bowl; this is something 'Call of Duty 1' did better two decades ago.”
    • “The big point of contention for probably a lot of people in this day and age, given what you've likely seen on the store screenshots, is that for a new game in 2022, graphically from a technical standpoint it looks dated or it isn't as photo-realistic as the new 'Call of Duty' or whatever tactical shooter you've been following.”
  • optimization20 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing significant performance issues, particularly on certain maps and lower-end hardware. While some users have managed to achieve playable frame rates through adjustments, the consensus is that the game requires further optimization, especially for platforms like the Steam Deck. Despite these challenges, players remain hopeful for improvements in future updates, given the game's potential and early access status.

    • “This is a pretty good Vietnam-themed shooter that I shelved a bit ago due to issues with resolution and performance. However, upon some heavy troubleshooting with my computer and tinkering with the game's settings, I no longer have issues running this game at 3200x2000!”
    • “The game is very well optimized like most source games, and I'm very surprised that my younger brother with an Intel HD 4600 could play the game at 30 frames a second with the lowest graphical settings and the lowest resolution possible.”
    • “Edit: Performance on deck is getting better.”
    • “Only real complaint as of now is the large performance decrease on Vong Canh Hill (the one with a lot of foliage and tunnels) which I had to decrease my resolution to 1024 by 768 to get frames between 10 and 20.”
    • “Clearly the deck can run this game at 60fps on default settings, so again this screams lack of optimization for everyone to hear.”
    • “Not the best optimized game (it runs on the Source engine, but at 4K on high settings with a 3070 I'm barely reaching 60fps).”
  • music11 mentions

    The music in the game has received high praise for its well-composed soundtrack that effectively captures the historical context of the Vietnam War era.

    • “Changed my mind, this has a banger soundtrack!”
    • “Great choice in music.”
    • “The soundtrack is the bomb with that guitar solo.”
    • “You will absolutely be able to watch your comrades die without feeling like Private Chris Taylor and having that platoon soundtrack play in your head louder and louder with every game you play.”
    • “Adding more known Vietnam War music maybe for the loading screen or randomized for the main menu.”
    • “Military conflict: Vietnam is one of the best indie first-person shooters you will ever experience in a lifetime, it's gameplay and game modes make the experience of it enjoyable to the extent with its diverse range of weapons and 6 classes whether that be pistols, SMGs, shotguns, assault rifles, bolt-action rifles, LMGs, revolvers etc, and the music is really well composed with the game's theme revolving around its time period in the mid 50s to late 60s to early/mid 70s with America going to war with Vietnam at the time.”
  • monetization10 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game is generally viewed positively due to its affordable price and absence of battle passes or microtransactions, which many players appreciate. However, the game suffers from poor advertising, resulting in a small player base and limited visibility, particularly in its early access stage. Players express hope that increased investment in marketing could enhance the game's reach and player engagement.

    • “It's pretty cheap, and I want to support developers who create games in the good old way without battle passes or microtransactions.”
    • “The game is dead, very few players, lack of advertisement and the price tag are to be blamed.”
    • “However, it suffers from a lack of advertising, a small yet dedicated playerbase and the problems that come with being in the early access stage.”
    • “The game advertising was handled poorly; at its peak this week, only 24 people played the game.”
  • humor7 mentions

    The game's humor is highlighted by its small, friendly community that enjoys playful antics, complemented by amusing voice chat interactions.

    • “The Vietnam-era atmosphere is immersive, and every match is a thrilling, tactical challenge.”
    • “Wide range of weapons that I have never seen in any Vietnam War game before, realistic experience on the battlefield and atmosphere which I recall from many war movies about that era.”
    • “The movement is perfect, the guns feel great and the overall atmosphere, be it the maps or the sound design, is pretty much on point.”
    • “While the gameplay is certainly punishing and does reward guerrilla tactics, the atmosphere doesn't really sell one of the nastiest and most grotesque armed conflicts in human history.”
  • story5 mentions

    Users express a strong desire for a compelling single-player campaign, highlighting the potential for an engaging story reminiscent of classic missions from games like Call of Duty: World at War.

Overall, the anticipation for a future campaign with a rich storyline is palpable among players.
