Not many games lately have used the Vietnam War as their backdrop, and even less have thrown something like Resident Evil into the mix. Developer Vexe decided to do just that with Jungle Rot, which recently unveiled a preview demo available on itch.io.
It’s the Vietnam War, 1970. The United States government has deployed REAPER (Rapid Engagement and Precision Elimination Regiment) deep into the jungles of Vietnam. Armed with an experimental toxin designed to turn the tide of the war, REAPER’s helicopter crashed resulting in the contamination of surrounding areas. Unbeknownst even to those transporting it, the toxin brought on irreversible side effects.
Players take on the role of Sergeant John Crackhorn, a hardened veteran in the US Marine Corps. Unfortunately for Crackhorn, after his helicopter is shot down over enemy territory, his current situation goes from bad to worse. That experimental toxin that was released? It’s resulted in roaming bands of zombies, as well as some mutated monstrosities that you’ll need to put down.
In case there was any doubt, Jungle Rot borrows a lot from the Survival Horror classic. Zombies aside, the game uses the fixed camera, cheesy dialogue, as well as pre-rendered graphics “to deliver the most cutting edge horror experience possible in 1999.” You’ll also need to manage your inventory, solve puzzles, and of course, survive.
Big thanks to AlphaBetaGamer for this.
