Rambo: The Video Game is a 2014 FPS / Rail Shooter hybrid developed by Teyon, a Polish studio, loosely - very loosely - based on the first three films of the Rambo franchise.Set in an alternate version of the series' canon timeline, the game literally opens with the funeral of John J. Rambo in 1988. After a speech dedicated to his honor by Rambo's mentor, Colonel Trautman, the game then flashes back to Rambo's past, turning into an abridged retelling of the first three films - First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III (events of Rambo IV never happened in the game's universe, as such it's excluded in the flashbacks).Gameplay alternates between allowing Rambo to run about while shooting mooks, like every FPS out there, to taking on a third-person perspective to firing at enemies from a fixed position while tapping another button to take cover (ala Time Crisis). It's as unpredictable and random as it sounds.

Age Lift

comment
Age Lift: The game's version of Art Galt is a lot younger than his film equivalent, lacking a moustache with dark hair. On the other hand, Will Teasle in the game seems slightly older than his film counterpart with a graying moustache and matching hair.

Set Swords to "Stun"
 Rambo: The Video Game (Video Game) / int_259dd888
comment
Set Swords to "Stun": In the stage based on First Blood, Rambo is encouraged to perform non-lethal disarms by shooting MPs in their shoulders, kneecaps, or otherwise immobilize them without killing. There doesn't seem to be any penalties for killing policemen, however.

Adapted Out: No mention whatsoever of the fourth Rambo film, even though it pre-dates the game by 6 years. For characters from the first three films, Murdock and Colonel Podovsky from the second film, Sergeant Kourov and most of the named Afghan freedom fighters from the third.

Death by Adaptation
 Rambo: The Video Game (Video Game) / int_48c99e19
comment
Death by Adaptation: John Rambo himself, whose death isn't even a spoiler because it's in the opening FMV. Though this is subverted as the funeral is actually a cover for Rambo to go rescue Trautman in Afghanistan.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Rambo: The Video Game (Video Game) / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The segment based on First Blood, should players complete the stage, ends with Rambo getting arrested just like in the film. Unlike the film, where Rambo kills only a single policemen by accident, the game allows him to maim, shoot, and massacre aplenty without any guilt, with Rambo's arrest becoming like a slap on the wrist. To be fair, the game encourages the player to use non-lethal shots and QT Es, but still...

Unstoppable Rage: The "Wrath" mode, which increases Rambo's attack strength, firing rate, speed (by making all onscreen mooks move in slo-mo) and even grants him Mercy Invincibility.

comment
Alternate Universe: Appears to be set in one of these, where Rambo has died in the not-too-distant future while Colonel Trautman is still alive (when in canon it's the other way around). Although the funeral is revealed to be a cover-up for Rambo to mount a rescue mission for Trautman in Afghanistan.

Cop Killer
 Rambo: The Video Game (Video Game) / int_a3eea2ea
comment
Cop Killer: Unlike the movie where Rambo averts this trope, with the only cop he kills being Sergeant Galt (an Accidental Murder at that), you can indiscriminately massacre the Hope Department police during shootouts. There's even an achievement called "Cop-Killer" for doing so!

You Don't Look Like You
 Rambo: The Video Game (Video Game) / int_a4e3759e
comment
You Don't Look Like You: Various supporting characters from the game looks nothing like their film counterparts; Will Teasle is now bearded while Art Galt is clean-shaven (in the film it's the other way around), Co Bao has Boyish Short Hair and ditches her long dress she wears throughout the second film, Banks (the helicopter gunner on the second film who pulled a gun on Trautman telling him to turn around) now has a full head of hair unlike his balding live-action counterpart... actually, the only characters who averts this trope is Rambo and Trautman.

comment
Ascended Extra: Rambo's friend in his Vietnam days, Delmar Barry, is merely mentioned in passing in the first film. In the game, he appears in the first Vietnam mission and acts as an Assist Character to Rambo in shooting enemies - his inclusion also serves as a Resolved Noodle Incident because now players knew what's the deal with Delmar Barry after his brief mention in the first movie.

Blackout Basement: Several stages set at night, where Rambo's torch and / or Muzzle Flashlight is the only things providing illumination. Notably when Rambo's shooting his way through various MPs (from the first film), the Vietnam camp raid in the escape (taken from the second film) and infiltrating the Russian base in Afghanistan (from the third film).

Starts with Their Funeral: The game begins with John Rambo's funeral, with an eulogy provided by his mentor Colonel Trautman. It then segues into a bunch of flashbacks of Rambo's past, leading to the gameplay segments.

comment
Cutscene Power to the Max: Yeah, the scene from First Blood where Rambo jumps off a cliff and lands on a treetop before crashing several meters all the way down? It's depicted in cutscene form where Rambo (switching to third-person) expertly took a plunge. And despite the cutscene showing him getting bruised all the way, when controls return to the player Rambo doesn't suffer any health loss.
