Have you ever wanted to play a game of war against the evil tyranny of colonialism? Well here is your chance. Emobi developer Nguyen Tuan Huy and his team have spent the last two years developing “7554″, a high quality first person shooter which is based around Vietnam’s most famous battle, the victory against former French colonial forces on the 7th of May, 1954, at Dien Bien Phu.

Quoting the WSJ, At first glance, the personal-computer game might seem a little obscure for a broad audience. The decisive battle of Dien Bien Phu ultimately forced France to retreat from its Indochina colonies and rang in an era in which many other countries shook off European imperialism.

“We’re proud of Dien Bien Phu, so we want people around the world to know about it, not just Vietnamese,” says Mr. Huy, Emobi’s 32-year-old director of videogames.

The game casts players as guerrillas who face a more technologically sophisticated enemy, just as forces led by Ho Chi Minh and Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap did nearly sixty years ago. The rebels lack ammunition, weapons and air support. Yet they must find a way to defeat the French at their Dien Bien Phu mountain base, sneaking along trench fortifications, shooting or slashing enemies along the way.

Mr. Huy says he isn’t concerned that the plot might seem distant to Western gamers. What matters most is game play—how quickly and smoothly the characters respond to players’ moves.

“We in Vietnam aren’t that familiar with World War II but we still enjoy the ‘Call of Duty’ games,” he says. “Anybody can enjoy any game, as long as it’s fun and rewarding.”
