Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a low-pressure experience may find the demanding strategy and battle management a poor match.
- Players looking for an open-ended campaign may find the mission-based structure restrictive.
- Players who want to command forces on both sides may not find that role here; the stated command role is American.
Our take on Leave No One Behind: Ia Drang VR
The campaign combines missions based on named Vietnam War battles with fictional side missions. Its focus is on commanding American forces and completing mission objectives, rather than presenting both sides as playable command roles.
What is Leave No One Behind: Ia Drang VR?
Command American units in this 1965 Vietnam War real-time strategy game.
Its missions are based on fighting at two helicopter landing areas, X-Ray and Albany, and the Plei Me special forces camp, as well as fictional side operations. Lead infantry, request artillery and aircraft, and send helicopters to carry soldiers, bring supplies, scout, or attack. Surviving platoons build combat experience and can receive additional people and gear. Battle-earned points pay for reinforcements and support.
Helicopters can retrieve wounded and fallen troops; failing to recover them cuts point earnings. Most missions occur in daylight, though some are set at night. In VR, players can view combat from ground level or look down over the battlefield. Development considered both standard PC and PC VR versions from the outset.
