About Caliber.50

Caliber.50 is an action title where players control Captain Addis, a Vietnam War veteran on a rescue mission along the Ho Chi Minh trail two decades after the conflict. The perspective is top-down, with movement and aiming operating independently; the character can be directed to walk in one direction while firing in another.

Opposition comes from infantry using varied weapons and from vehicles like tanks and helicopters. Resources such as ammunition can be obtained by destroying crates scattered in the environment or collected from fallen foes.
