Hi guys,

It maybe bias if I write the review for this game but I still feel the need of it.

– First note:

7554-Glorious Memories Revived is the very very first major game from an independence Vietnamese company calls Emobi Games. But before 7554, no one had any single idea who is Emobi Games. So when they announced 7554, everyone was so hyped that we finally make a real game, not another rip-off rubbish from any other game. The hype hit the Vietnamese internet community with tons of rumours and questions, people even thought that the game never make it because Vietnamese censorship. However, here we are, we made it after a lot of supporting for the company. So I definitely feel that it deserves my respect even if it is a potato.

– Experience:

+Pros:

Decent graphic, sounds which really did “revive” Indochina war from 1945 with creepy old town, rice field, jungle road and military camp. It did enough to recreate the Vietnam’s environment from those war days. It is really amazing that we can look at the French colonial Vietnam once again in modern time and many of those building in early part of the game still here now. Even the Metropole hotel is still a hotel nowadays. The weapon arsenal was alright I guess, it could have been much better.

+Cons:

Honestly, the graphic is definitely from Call of Duty, because they used the same engine to develop the game. It makes me first feel like I was playing a huge community mod. Some sound bugs and graphic bugs did “bug” me somehow, although there was no crash, I some time stuck on the top of a truck or between tree.

The AI was not that well made though, they were quiet poor. When you face them and try a meelee, they go for instant kill on you. So it was quiet weird.

Storyline was okay but it could have been done 10 times better because the plot was very potential.

+ Effort: (10/10)

Emobi Games was brave to announce that their game will be sold $12 for each copy. Because in Vietnam, copyrights infringement is 98% so a lot of people will basically wait for crack which made Emobi to decide to sell their game cheaply in hope more people will buy it. However, 7554 still a total failure from them. They spent around $750.000 to make the game and they were only able to sold $50.000. They later withdrew from independence offline game and now concentrate on online MMORPG. Which I am pretty sad for that. I wish Emobi Games did not only launch the game in Vietnam but also launch it in overseas, they could maybe make some profit out of 7554.

– Conclusion:

If any major company made 7554, they would be happy if I give them a 4/10. However, I actually feel for the developer and their restless effort so I decided to give them a 7/10. If you have a spare $12 somewhere, you can go and give it a try. It is really fun.

Conclusion: TL,DR

Overall: 7/10
