For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I love Vietnam War games and there are so many awful ones. If you've always wondered what an old Medal of Honor or Call of Duty (1, 2, 3) game would look like for the Vietnam War, Men of Valor is about as close as you can get. I played this quite a bit back in the day on Xbox and remembered having a great time. I've really enjoyed getting to experience this game again, especially on sale for $2.50. There's a lot to love about it, particularly having a great diversity in level design, areas, and objectives. The guns feel pretty good and there are a lot to try out. Enemies don't take that many hits to kill, so it feels more realistic to drop someone with one burst. The aiming system is something I ended up really enjoying, but some may not like it. Plus, Men of Valor's campaign hits all the highlights of Nam, like Khe Sanh, the Tet Offensive, being a doorgunner, tunnel rat, calling in danger close napalm, etc. It's easily my favorite Vietnam War shooter, Beating it now has shown there are definitely some drawbacks: - Good old fashioned 2004 jank - Unbelievable difficulty spikes. Mandatory turret segments or holdouts against infinitely spawning enemies where you *will* just die over and over. Now that I'm thinking about it, infinitely spawning enemies is nearly constant. This forces you to have to try and make forward progress and end up taking more hits. I played on Normal and some segments felt completely unbeatable. - Invisible enemies in the treelines that cannot be hurt and are laser accurate. Also, instant kill at times when they're "snipers" instead of NVA regulars. - Not much of a story, although the letter segments are something. - Occasional crashing and a wonky save system. The game will tell you it's saving progress, but it's just a soft checkpoint. If you quit out after that, you lose your progress. Takes some getting used to, but not the worst. I still love it, despite the flaws. It's one of the few Vietnam War games that I'll happily recommend for anyone trying to scratch that itch. But, prepare yourself for some frustration.

"Джонни, гуки на деревьях!". А у нас очередные политические помои из 2004го. Американская клюква. Все штампы присутствуют. И слезливое повествование от главного героя. И злобные коммунисты. И много музыки! В общем и целом повторяют общий образ войны во Вьетнаме по фильмам Стоуна, Копполы и Кубрика. Разрабы очень хотели стать идейными продолжателями медалей или каловдутия. Но не срослось. Игруля хорошая, но на стиме брать нельзя. Она багнутая, хренова туча вопросов в обсуждениях, но всё без ответов. При нажатии на опции, игра просто вылетает. Мне это критично, я играю с инверсией по вертикальной оси. Плюс из русского только меню. Поэтому идём в магазин рутреэкер (кстати, он отметил недавно 21 год, большой привет санкциям, блокировкам и прочим запретам), выбираем издательство Софтклаба, там всё работает и полный русский перевод с дубляжом (в игре есть много диалогов) и наслаждаемся отличным олдскульным шутером.
THE GREATEST NAM GAME OF ALL TIME NEEDS A REMASTER
[u][b]Initial Thoughts:[/b][/u] I just finished Men of Valor, and to put it bluntly, it was awful. While I was hoping for a gritty, atmospheric trip through Vietnam, what I got was a broken, frustrating mess that felt like a C-tier rendition of Medal of Honor. The only thing that kept me from uninstalling was the historical presentation and my own fixation on finishing every game in my library. This is a textbook example of a project rushed out the door by developers who clearly didn't care about the final product. It's a lazy cash grab meant to ride the coattails of better franchises of the era, and honestly, Vivendi Games should be ashamed of themselves for publishing this turd. [u][b]Story and Presentation:[/b][/u] The story itself is okay; following a young Marine from Oklahoma trying to survive the war and get back to his family. One area I genuinely liked was the cutscenes; they use snippets of the war that feel like those old History Channel documentaries, which added a nice layer of gravitas. The letters between the protagonist and his folks at the end of levels also added some much-needed depth. However, the immersion breaks the moment you look at the details. As someone who has served, the way your Marine brothers react to a teammate dying is ridiculous; they act like nothing happened, which is the polar opposite of reality. Even the historical details are sloppy, at multiple points they refer to your "ASN" (Army Service Number). Marines have their own unique IDs and administrative services; they aren't in the Army and have never used “ASN”s. It’s a small detail, but it shows a lack of basic research. [u][b]Gameplay and AI:[/b][/u] This is where the game completely falls apart. The AI is fundamentally broken. The enemies have "aimbot" precision even when you’re crouched behind cover, and they will lock onto you and track you through walls. You’ll frequently get shot by "the grass" because enemies that haven't even spawned yet are already firing at you. Or the bush is just designed to shoot you without an enemy even physically being there for you to shoot back at. The missions are extremely rigid and on-rails. If you don’t move to a specific "trigger" spot, you’ll be stuck fighting endless waves of Vietcong that spawn out of thin air. On multiple occasions I quite literally watched enemies drop from the sky and man machine guns I had just cleared. Your own teammates are useless, often standing inches away from an enemy and refusing to fire. It’s not strategic; it’s just babysitting a group of idiots while trying not to die to invisible bullets. [u][b]Technical Issues and Sound:[/b][/u] Technically, the game is a disaster. There are invisible walls everywhere, you can’t jump, and I even fell through the map on the final mission. The hitboxes for grenades and launchers are completely off, making AOE weapons feel like single-shot rifles that require pinpoint accuracy. The audio is another letdown. While the music isn't half bad, the weapon sounds are weak and repetitive. Most American weapons sound identical, as do the NVA/VC weapons. Tracers don't even come out of the barrels correctly; they often fly out parallel to the shooter’s body. To top it off, every time you die, you’re forced to sit through a "KIA" letter and a stats screen that you can’t skip until the next segment loads. When you’re dying constantly due to cheap AI, this becomes infuriating. I also don’t appreciate how you don’t have enough time to read the quotes prior to missions starting. I enjoy history, and it’s about the only thing I enjoyed about this game. [u][b]Final Thoughts:[/b][/u] Men of Valor is a textbook example of lazy development. Between the "aimbot" enemies, the lack of basic movement mechanics like jumping, and the unfinished textures, there is very little to enjoy here. If the goal was to emulate the frustration and confusion of the Vietnam War, they succeeded, but I have a feeling that wasn't the intention. It’s essentially a gallery of half-baked foliage inhabited by aimbotting ghosts. [b]Final Score: 3.0 out of 10.[/b] Avoid this game.
Was forced to stop playing after I got to a mission that was so bugged, even after restarting it, it would not proceed, the scripts were just completely broken.
It may not offer the best view of the war in terms of realism, but the action flows thick and fast in this hybrid World War II/Vietnam shooter.
I am no stranger to Men of Valor, first playing a demo around 2010's off a CD that comes off a Game/Tech magazine, downloading it for small price of nothing from some offbrand site & completing it then & years later after finding out that there is a steam release decided to give it another shot and see if it is as good as I remember or if I have been wearing several rows of rose tinted glasses and as you can see by how I am not recommending the game you can tell it is in fact the latter. It has been a while since I have played Men of Valor as such there are things that I should disclose, such as whether I experienced the multiplayer & what not & no I did not get to play the multiplayer of this game, I used to play this game previously on normal years before buying it on steam & as such I have decided to cut myself some slack & play it on easy as I have already beaten it before & see no reason not to, but if YOU are reading this & still haven't played this game yet but are willing to put up with it & play it for whatever reason, please do yourself a favor & set the difficulty to easy as well from my own experience any enemy encounter that causes damage to you will be a coinflip on whether you between bullets that hit you being made of sawdust or anti-matter. However, if you're still ok with being killed off because realism or something the game still has an outdated checkpoint system from which you could clear one area, go to the next but because of taking damage you might die to a gust of wind in the next area because of a bad checkpoint. I might as well list off the good parts of the game and why you should consider playing: -Decent Vietnam war setting, the jungles that you get to explore aren't mind blowing but are pretty good for the time that the game was released at (2004) -The music is good...personal opinion, it's not groundbreaking or anything but could stick to you if you're fan of Vietnam war as it fits well & main menu definitely sets the tone of the game and what is it about, the rest of the soundtrack felt more as a filler to fight in select areas more than anything. -The game is challenging at times in a right way... sometimes, gonna get to the "other times" in a bit. -There is a story in a game which tackles racism & what was it like being a US soldier at that period. I haven't really kept the track of it as difficulty ramped up & I won't bother to explain it/say if it's good or not but it's there. -Personal letters-in between the missions that the player does, the game starts & ends with player's character Dean Shepherd sending a letter to someone (usually to his family/parents) or the fact that every time that player dies a letter to his parents are sent to let them know of his fate. -As the Vietnam war lasted around 20-ish years, technology changed and as such your previous rifles would be changed to M16's in later missions just like it was in reality which is a nice touch. -The Enemies don't actually speak Vietnamese ,I think...- Most of time you encounter enemies, they don't actually respond in the language of their region but rather in awfully spoken English with maybe probably somewhat Asian accent. Lines I managed to hear were "Die Amerikan Die!", "Leave my country!" or "F@-k you *???*". And I just found a post of someone saying that the game has enemies speaking Vietnamese very well to the point it is scary and I could have just misheard all of this. If I'm wrong then point to the game to actually putting in the effort of accurate enemy voice lines. -Sniper rifle is really good- You only get to use a sniper rifle for 2 times in the entire game & for those 2 times it was pretty good and satisfying to say NO to almost any enemy in your sight by sending them to god with one shot from a safe distance, game would have been much better if the player could have it for more than just those 2 times. Now about the bad parts of the game: -You are made of paper, no matter what- Men of Valor has one of if not the worst, one of the worst health systems across the games that I have ever played. On top of them rolling a dice on how much you're going to be ripped apart, when you take damage (from bullets/rocket/projectiles, you cannot heal from flame that either enemy tanks fire or from the fire from the obstacles),your health is lowered but you can bandage it up quickly by either standing still or not as quickly by moving around to restore some of it. Problem comes when you can't aim, & you really NEED to aim to kill most of the enemies as most rifles are inaccurate (unless you are wielding a sniper rifle) as such you can get in cycle of standing still trying to heal up while also being in a bad spot only because it has somewhat decent view of the enemy for you to shoot but you still can't aim well so you get shot again and cycle repeats until you die. Now before you say something along the lines of skill issue, keep in mind this is only considering if it's just one enemy in a game where you can come across around 270 or more across the whole campaign, that decided to lock onto you instead of on bot teammates and accuracy is crucial in this game. Speaking your teammates... -Bot teammates suck 90% of the time- The best use of your bot teammates is that they will serve as a distraction for the enemies as the only time I've seen them get kills is when they got 5 meters close to them. Other time, they will fire from afar and probably miss every shot,if they don't take too much damage at which when they do they will take their time patching themselves up and continue try and distract the enemy instead of doing something useful as giving you ammo (which they have infinite amount) or med kit/healing item of some kind which is something you REALLY need. They even do animation which would imply that you could help them as they call out for help but in reality you can't do anything other than shooting the enemies in your path. -Checkpoint system sucks- already explained it so I won't repeat myself, next point. -No skipping the death screen option- You can't skip death screen for every death,if there was an Iron mode with only one life this would have been a nice addition adding more weight for dying in that mode but in this game even on easy mode you die multiple times the death screen even though it changes with each mission it just sucks to wait around 10 seconds with each death. -You can't run!-No, literally you can't run in this game no matter what. You are always stuck at snail speed which it is tiring as nothing you do will make you go faster and most of the time the game will make you go slower in fact. -Puddle = always made of tar- Doesn't matter how deep the waters are that you come across, it will slow you all the same which while it may be a nit pick but it's really annoying with how slow you are already. -Indecisive existence of enemy weapons- While I don't want to spoil what happens in the last level, the worst part of it is after all of a sudden enemy weapons stop dropping at most crucial moment. This also goes for all the previous levels as some strong weapons such as RPG's stop existing after you kill certain enemies. That's all I can think of right now but I could probably remember other things that made this game suck for me. My best advice for playing this game would be to be super patient, to aim well & go for headshots. Best get this game at discount.
While it has many flaws that really frustrated me throughout gameplay (lack of manual saves, checkpoints that require doing levels over and over again, insane hit scan enemies that can one hit kill you even when you're in full health on higher difficulties, and the inability to jump at all in the game), it was still a decent enough spiritual sequel to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault with some ups and downs.
El juego nos pone en la piel del marine Dean Shepard y los Rangers del ARVN en los conflictos bélicos de Vietnam y estados unidos en los años sesenta, pasaremos por varios conflictos históricos reales contra el viet cong y los norvietnamitas divididos en 4 campañas: Da Nang, el Triángulo de Hierro, Khe Sanh y la Ofensiva del Tet. Me gusto mucho como representa los escenarios y el conflicto cinematográfico al estilo call of duty, la diferencia que acá se respeta los problemas morales de esa época donde los marine estadounidenses disparaban a la gente. Podremos escuchar los gritos de hombres y mujeres a través de la extensa selva agreste y ciudades, podremos visitar campos de batalla totalmente cubiertos por la hierba y zonas pantanosas que le servirán de ventaja al enemigo porque será difícil distinguirlo entre la jungla, con las balas silbándote cerca de tu cabeza, proyectiles de morteros cayendo a nuestro alrededor proporcionándote una buena inmersión bélica. Además se combinan efectos ambientales en toda la campaña tendremos días calurosos, batallas en la noche, batallas aéreas sobre un helicóptero, lluvias constantes, escenarios totalmente bombardeados y sobre el terreno trampas improvisadas del enemigo en tu camino que te obligan a pensar en tu entorno y fijarte donde pisas en la extensa maleza, las batallas generalmente tienen un ritmo pausado, de esos que debes cubrirte para evitar el fuego enemigo, con que me refiero a esto, que acá no saldrás a correr a lo tonto disparando, el medidor de vida tiene un sistema de botiquines. Podemos encontrar un botiquín completo que nos restaura la salud en su totalidad y pequeñas cantimploras que nos devuelven pequeñas porciones de vida. También podremos revisar los cuerpos caídos para obtener ítems: Como balas, armas o botiquines. A nivel gráfico estamos hablando de un juego del 2004, pero se ve excelente, estaría muy, pero muy bueno que se haga un remake o un remaster, porque juegos que toquen el conflicto en Vietnam históricamente hay muy pocos y en Steam se corre perfecto, solo encontré un error, es cuando inicias el juego no se abre, pero se escucha de fondo, solo espera que corra la cinemática y termine, luego se pondrá en pantalla completa. A nivel sonido y música también es muy bueno, los sonidos amortiguados de disparos, explosiones y gritos del viet cong acompañados por una música orquestada militarmente te sumergen en la desesperanza y la frustración que se experimenta en la guerra. Lamentablemente el juego viene en total ingles, por si no entiendes el idioma quedaras medio colgado, pero se disfruta igualmente, en el juego el desarrollo de la guerra se comunica a través de Shepard y sus compañeros de pelotón, además de documentales con imágenes reales en video seguida de cartas de nuestro protagonista en donde revela las dificultades que atraviesa al completar las misiones. A mi parecer el mejor juego que representa la guerra de Vietnam y no sabía que este juego era de los creadores del clásico Medal of Honor Allied Assault, para mí fue un golazo, un buen shooter militar con una campaña bien escrita, bellos paisajes y batallas históricas que siembran suficiente pánico como para meterte de lleno en el juego.
Bootleg call of duty. It is junky. The enemy is sometimes stupid, sometimes sees through 3 bushes
