Tunnel Rats

Tunnel Rats is a single-player shooter set during the Vietnam War, told through the eyes of a young US soldier. Trained to clear the vast tunnel systems beneath the Vietnamese jungle as part of a “Tunnel Rats” squad, he is left alone after his squadmates die in an ambush. He must fight the Vietcong and deadly traps while dealing with his growing inner madness.

The campaign

The story-driven campaign spans 8 levels, moving between claustrophobic, pitch-black tunnels and a war-torn jungle filled with traps. You explore complex underground passages and hidden places as the soldier’s inner monologue grows darker and his grip on reality weakens.

Weapons and traps

The game includes 10 authentic weapons, including flamethrowers, and 20 types of traps, including whips, pits, snakes and water traps. Its depiction of war uses harsh visuals, a creepy soundtrack and scenes of torture and death.

Connection to the film

Tunnel Rats shares its atmosphere and scenes with Uwe Boll’s simultaneously released movie 1968 Tunnel Rats.
