About Rolling Thunder

Rolling Thunder casts the player as a top operative within a premier global intelligence organization. The objective involves dismantling a clandestine plot for global domination, which requires navigating a series of secure facilities.

Progress is made by advancing through guarded corridors and hidden routes. The agent begins equipped with a standard sidearm, facing opposition throughout the mission. A secondary goal is the rescue of a fellow agent named Leila, who is being held captive by the conspirators.
