The American War

The American War is a single-player first-person shooter set during the Vietnam War, combining combat, psychological horror and comic-book storytelling. You play through a US veteran’s fractured, unreliable account of the conflict, where trauma and military-prescribed stimulants blur the line between reality and nightmare. The game also includes online PvP multiplayer.

A fractured account

The campaign unfolds through the veteran’s recollections of combat and the conflict’s lesser-known ramifications. Comic-book panels connect the action to his account of the horrors of war.

Stimulants and visions

You can use stimulants to recover health and gain an edge in combat. Their effects also distort your perception, blurring the boundary between the battlefield and disturbing visions.

Historical discoveries

Collectables hidden throughout the levels unlock historical information in a museum, linking what you encounter in the campaign with the wider Vietnam conflict.
