The gameplay revolves around issuing orders to squad members or taking direct control over one of them. Each member has different abilities that can be improved with experience points, allowing players to defuse booby traps and complete objectives such as destroying enemy vehicles or collecting documents.
Levels are set in the jungle, featuring underground Vietcong complexes and temples, as well as encounters with friendly characters like allied soldiers and citizens. The game also involves using stationary weapons and driving jeeps or tanks in some missions.
