Shellshock: Nam '67 is a third-person shooter game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Eidos Interactive, released in 2004 for Windows, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The game is set in January 1967 during the Vietnam War, where players control Caleb 'Cal' Walker, a U.S. soldier, as he and his squad undertake various missions against the Viet Cong. The game starts with Walker's arrival in Saigon and his involvement in an air assault on a Viet Cong encampment, followed by tasks such as investigating VC activity in villages, rescuing hostages, and defending bases.
The gameplay mechanics include standard third-person shooter elements, such as absorbing a significant amount of damage before health depletion, using med kits to heal, and employing grenades and other early American weapons like the M-14 rifle. The game also features a 'shellshock' meter that increases vulnerability to damage when the player is repeatedly hit. Players must navigate through jungle environments, avoid booby traps, and engage in intense combat against the VC.
While the game received criticism for its clunky control system, linear mission design, and poor enemy AI, it was praised for its immersive Vietnam War atmosphere and some standout mission scenarios. Despite its flaws, the game is notable for its gritty and intense portrayal of war.
Shellshock: Nam '67 did not receive widespread critical acclaim, with many reviewers highlighting its technical issues and repetitive gameplay. However, it remains a historical example of early attempts to depict the Vietnam War in video games and is remembered for its brutal and realistic depiction of war.
The game's current popularity is limited, but it holds a place in the history of war-themed video games and is still discussed among retro gaming enthusiasts for its unique approach to the genre.
