Halfly disagree, Vietnam success in fighting was not done alone, but the immense weapon and food supply flow from China and from Soviet Union, thus vietnamese can keep on fighting with seemingly infinite supply.

The fact that a company in Vietnam managed to make a somewhat decent single play game that take place in our historical period instead of "another Wuxia Pay2Win", and while the game isn't good, it was made with passion, something that lack in the "so-called" AAA game (look at you, Vanguard, V, ...). Now day you can get this game for free in every May 7th, the historical moment when the "unbreakable fortress" broke, hence the name of the game, 7554 (May 7th, 1954 we Vietnamese write day before month) (Also, if you know Vietnamese, the voice actor did an outstanding good job, something that Vietnamese dub for anime or film still struggle to do)

A few facts I'd like to share. This game was released in 2011 and was made with $725.000 budget. It used to be cost at roughly $20 for a standard edition DVD copy and digital (not so sure about other edition which contain artworks and exclusive physical items). Despite all that efforts, the game was a revenue failure, only reached $42650. A lot of people blamed for piracy, there was even a picture of a conversation showed a Vietnamese asking a Chinese cracker for a pirated version of this game. Even though the game is indeed bad all and all compared to other games, it was considered to be the first Vietnamese AAA game ever made.

I at one point heard a rumor that the devs, realising that they can't fight the piracy, decided to set the game up for free download on their old site. This rumor I've heard a long while ago, and the old site seems to be down now, so I wonder if that was true in any way

Before the Vietnamese People's Army, there was the National Guards of Vietnam, whose exploits in the fight for the cities were usually forgotten even in Vietnam itself due to the more bombastic campaigns of the second half of the war. While this game did portray a portion of the Battle of Hanoi (1946). There was a real sense of hopelessness in those years when city after city falls to the enemy and I feel that failing to portray the losing war with all the ordinary people taking up arms for the first time to defend their new country made the road to victory in the grand counter-offensives lacking its emotional impact.

During the vietnam war, the US bombing campaign represented at least three times as much (by weight) as both European and Pacific theater World War II bombing combined, and about fifteen times total tonnage in the Korean War. Given the prewar Vietnamese population of approximately 32 million, U.S. bombing translates into hundreds of kilograms of explosives per capita during the conflict. U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft expended another 1,500,000 tons in Southeast Asia. This tonnage far exceeded that expended in World War II and in the Korean War. The U.S. Air Force consumed 2,150,000 tons of munitions in World War II - 1,613,000 tons in the European Theater and 537,000 tons in the Pacific Theater - and 454,000 tons in the Korean War. For another comparison, the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki had the power of roughly 15,000 and 20,000 tons of TNT, respectively (Grolier 1995). Since general purpose bombs - by far the most common type of bomb used in Vietnam and in our dataset - are approximately 50% explosive material by weight, each atomic bomb translates into roughly 30,000 to 40,000 tons of such munitions. Measured this way, U.S. bombing in Indochina represents 100 times the combined impact of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs. During the vietnam war, despite 2.2 million troops mobilisation and overwhleming firepower, the US dropped its goal to conquer vietnam in 1975, the American public had grown tired of the loss of American lives and of the war itself, meaning that there’s was no way that U.S. military involvement in the region could continue. During the Vietnam War, thousands of U.S. aircraft were lost to antiaircraft artillery (AAA), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and fighter interceptors (MiG)s. In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft, helicopters and UAVs, including supersonic bombers. The Republic of Vietnam lost 1,018 aircraft and helicopters from January 1964 to September 1973. The U.S. Air Force flew 5.25 million sorties over South Vietnam, North Vietnam, northern and southern Laos, and Cambodia. The United States Air Force dropped in Indochina, from 1964 to August 15, 1973, a total of. 6,162,000 tons of bombs and other ordnance. In Laos alone, the US dropped more than 270 million bombs during its war in Vietnam that spilled to other surrounding nations in attempt to cut supply and life into Vietnam. An estimated 30% of the bombs remain unexploded and are scattered across the country.

@@spicy5630 let me add up too, both the Vietnamese and French adopted Soviet weapons in the early phases of the Vietnam war since the North (through China) were supplied by Soviet lines and disciplined by Soviet logistics officers, and other slain Vietnamese soldiers armed with soviet arms and confiscated Soviet tactics and doctrines also landed to the French in the 1950s.

last year they tried to make a 2nd Indochina war version called 300475 but they ran out of budget and the game was cancelled the game would have tank and air missions as well as improvement from 7554

[@yevonsama]

First Indochina period can become the good place for many ideas. I mean, many Japanese and Nazi veretans, and many people from other countries finally fights for Vietnamese during that period.

[@kellenlean2076]

A game where you play as Vietnamese character throughout war era Vietnamese history (1946-1979) would be amazing. The end missions would include the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia to defeat Pol Pot. I feel like that would drive home the idea and importance of acknowledging vietnam as a very victimized country as well as one that fights back against injustice. COD could make so many cool games but keep doing overused settings like WW2. Im interested in what others think about that idea for a game.

[@melliteshastur4417]

Man I really would have wanted to see a level about Dien Bien Phu where you play as one of our french paratroopers who volunteered to reinforce the garrison when it got overrun by the fucking vietmins and witnessed the final artillery barrage ordered on the HQ to end the melee fightings That battle was wild as hell

I agree with you on the engine they made it,its like a cod 2 mod.

Ponald held its ground for 60 days longer than most other countries during World War II, and Poland carried out the largest WW2 civilian uprising, which consisted of roughly 6 to 7 million civilians against German ans Soviet occupation.

[@Realandauthentic]

Seeing this I just wish there are more games/media about the Sino-Vietnamese war

[@yanlumotungoe2361]

What a fresh take this is

[@badfoody]

a lot of people make jokes about the Americans losing to the Vietnamese rice farmers ( even though it was the Vietnamese shitting themselves whenever the Americans would just kick their asses left and right) it was the French who straight up lost

[@siberian1804]
