Vektor Wars

Vector Wars was created with a team of 3 people. Proof that in 2015 it is still possible to make a good first person shooter. A new game using the old school method: Simplicity. Games have never needed realistic graphics. Nor intricate story lines and complex characters. All they need is the "you vs them" formula. Give us a bunch of weapons and an army to destroy. There is an old expression and it even applies to game design: "Keep it simple, stupid." We as gamers don't need a "motivation" to blast the bits out of killer robots from space. Its just fun to do so! Pro's + + 15 Powerful Weapons! + 9 Large Open Worlds! + 5 Game Different Game Modes! + Waves of Rampaging Robots to Wreck! + Neon Tron-like Visual Style! + Pulse pounding 80's techno soundtrack! Con's - - No Mulitplayer - maybe in the future? Thank you Super Icon Ltd for satisfying us old school gamers. Buy Vector Wars Now!

Great game, especially for the price. Reminiscent of the classic Battlezone, but with very pretty neon graphics & more advanced enemies.

(Update: there was a new version pushed that makes the water invisible when playing on a linux system with radeon mesa graphic drivers. This makes the game unplayble.) Feels like the old Battlezone, where the vector drawn tank sneaks up behind you. Lots of different enemies, different goals that you have to figure out on your own, and seems like a lot to the gameplay. The game might support a gamepad controller, but it seems to want to use a mouse and keyboard. A little repeatitive, but for less than five dollars it is worth checking out. Works very well on ubuntu linux 16.04 with radeon mesa drivers. I was an arcade Battlezone fan, and this really scratches that itch.

I really like where they are going with this but the game looks and plays like an Early Access title despite being 'released'. I'll come back to it in 6 months maybe, but right now the level of jank is way too high for me to enjoy playing. Rally cool soundtrack though. Some notable issues: [list] [*] The crosshair has very little to do with where bullets actually hit. [*] Very little impact response from bullets which compounds the previous problem. [*] Increasing the FOV hides the HUD. [*] Huge pools of water that are easy to fall into but have no-way out except completely broken ladders. [*] Low-res textures and bad aliasing on the titular 'vectors' cause a lot of flickering and means that the game only looks like 80s vector graphics if you kinda squint from a distance; the visual style needs a lot of work in general.

A fast FPS game in a world of robots, vehicles, turrets and spaceships, everything is against you. You crashed with your spaceship, now you have to kill all incoming waves, save the robo dudes and collect some messages to find your way back home. Awesome weapons and weapon-visions, epic old school sounds and a cool soundtrack in the back, nice achievements, 4 different game types (story mode included), all in all set in a really stylish neon world to praise the good old times (C64...). A must play for all retro neon old school fps freaks and everyone else i guess hehe have fun.

The game has a good premise, but that is about all it has going for it. Even the most basic enemies are damage sponges, and the game has no real sense of progress sense it is just wave after wave of enemies. If enemy health totals were changes I could see the game being more fun, but as it stands now it is a boring crappy shooter.

I bought it, I played it, I didn't like it. I reviewed it, and I think you should buy BattleZone VR Gold Instead (it plays on PC, non VR, just fine)

I paid $2 for this and while I don't expect much for that price I do expect a functioning title, the game crashed on the last story level and I apparently lost all of my progress to that point. What I did manage to play, I have a luke-warm reaction to, games that chase after this same or simmilar aesthetic exist and they do it better, Tron 2.0 Tank Universal 1 and 2 Black Ice all of those do a better job of what this game sets out and falls short of Again though I was willing to overlook such things until the game crashed and I lost all of my unlocked story levels.

I picked up this game a few days after the first version was released in 2015. To this day (in 2019), it's one of the best game purchases I've made. If you're looking for simple and fun arcade action without the contrivances found in many modern games (grindy leveling systems, loot crates, etc.), then Vektor Wars may be good pick for you. If, on top of that, you like the vector graphics aesthetic found in classic games like Battlezone, then this game is a fantastic choice. In addition to fast arcade action and stylish vector graphics, the game features great sound effects and a cool retro/synth soundtrack. I love the fact that I can jump in for a quick round or settle in and play the game for an extended period. As a casual gamer, I also like the fact that the game works well on older hardware (I typically play on a machine with an Intel Core i7-3770K processor, using the built-in Intel HD Graphics 4000). I would be remiss if I didn't mention the dedication of the developers. T...

Really enjoyed this for the price. Gets a bit repetitive, but the aesthetic is beautiful; the soundtrack is thumping and the gameplay is tight. Enjoyed running round the arenas exploring them. Would recommend it.
