What players say

Players describe Vietnam '65 as a unique but flawed counter-insurgency game that focuses heavily on logistics, with about half of your moves spent resupplying troops. Opinions split on its difficulty: some find it simple to learn, others say it is confusing and tedious. Many note it feels like a clunky mobile or tablet port with poor controls and no hotkey rebinding.
