Could you build this?

No Decompiling a commercial game and porting/rebuilding it inside Unity requires specialized reverse engineering, assembly/binary analysis, and game engine reimplementation.

What it would actually take: Requires binary analysis and disassembly tools (Ghidra, IDA Pro) to decompile the original native/ARM/x86 game binaries, extracting and converting proprietary proprietary 3D meshes, textures, sound formats, and mission scripts. Rebuilding it in Unity involves reimplementing flight physics, AI behaviors, UI systems, and shaders to match the original engine's exact mechanics.
