Players assume command of a military squad stranded in Vietnam after a helicopter crash. The primary objective is to guide these survivors to safety through hostile territory.
Gameplay involves managing a strategic map where navigation and resource allocation are key. The condition of the squad must be monitored, with factors like supplies and rest affecting their performance. The journey is challenging, as the environment presents threats such as enemy forces and hidden traps.
When specific locations are reached, the perspective shifts to illustrated scenes depicting the situation. Encounters with the enemy often trigger action-oriented sequences requiring direct combat. The overall experience is framed by archival footage from the conflict.
