Our take on Age of Valakas: Vietnam
Rather than limiting a 2D platformer to land-based encounters, this campaign adds underwater and aerial combat, including helicopter piloting. Its story also presents the conflict without a clear division between good and evil.
What is Age of Valakas: Vietnam?
This 2D platformer follows a soldier through a campaign set during the Vietnam War.
Players choose a side in the conflict and fight enemies on the ground, underwater, and in the air. The game includes 10 weapon types, with examples ranging from the M1911 Colt to the RPG7 grenade launcher, and lets players fly a Bell UH-1 helicopter armed with an M60. Levels include jungle areas and guerrilla tunnels containing traps and mines. The story presents a morally ambiguous conflict and draws on events and accounts associated with Valakas. The game includes blood and violence; its author says the author’s view differs from the characters’ views.
