Let’s now get another thing straight; this is the first major video game developed by a Vietnamese company. Now normally I wouldn’t be bothered with such a title but come on, these guys deserve a spotlight for at least trying. So, PC gamers, meet 7554; a first person shooter set against the historical backdrop of the climatic conclusion to the first Indochina War between the Vietnam People’s Army revolutionaries and the oppressing French army."

So basically, when this certain inexperienced, but ambitious new team got started with using their own game engine, the first natural thing that came to their minds is making a heavily-scripted, dramatic story-driven military shooter in the style of older World War II-based Call of Duty titles. As if we didn’t have enough of those by now. Welcome to 7554, a pretentiously named, but horribly flawed FPS reeking of amateurism and over-ambitiousness at every corner, as if it was screaming “WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GOOD GAME YET!”
Ikaron has today brought Emobi Games’ 7554 – Glorious Memories Revived to retail throughout PAL territories for the very first time. 7554 – Glorious Memories Revived is an award-winning first-person shooter (FPS) videogame that offers a virtual recreation of the Indochina conflict.
Award-winning? For what? Mediocrity? Seriously, I HAVE played it and it IS an incredibly standard game. It doesn't deviate at all and the translations are just abysmal.
However, it does have some grittiness to it. Though, it's the kind that was in World at War. So... if you want that kind of grit, go play World at War, not this. :/
GameSpot: "7554 is a modern curiosity that plays like a shabby relic."
Graphics remind me a lot of Crysis 1. Looks pretty good for a budget title, lets just hope it doesn't go the path of Sniper: Ghost Warrior with good graphics and crap gameplay.
looks leagues better then Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta "I'm a shameless ripoff of Uncharted". n_____n BTW did anyone see that guy with the sword in the trailer? That was awesome lol.
Very interesting game I will check it out.
Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.
Not a half bad looking game coming out of Vietnam. Of course the graphics could be better, and the framerate improved, as well as the bland Brown/Grey color palet.
However it looks like a valiant effort that just may be worth it in the end. Lets hope the fact that its a budget title also gives it budget pricing.
