Vector Download PC

Vector is a 2010 platform game developed by Cyprian studio Nekki.

Plot

In Vector, players take the role of a silhouette who is constantly being pursued by another silhouette, seemingly some form of enforcer for the system the player character breaks out of. The game does not have a long story apart from the introduction video which reveals that the player character is a man in an Orwellian dystopia, no longer able to bend to the will of his masters. He casts aside his mind-control device and his shirt, and leaps from his skyscraper prison, sprinting across rooftops toward the distant horizon. The game is not an “endless runner”. It is split into discrete levels rather than infinite randomly generated challenges, the players learn from their failures and find the best route to victory.

Vector is an exciting arcade-style game featuring you as the exceptional free runner who won't be held down by the system. Run, jump and climb using techniques based on the urban-ninja sport of parkour with "Big Brother" in hot pursuit!

Reception

Damien McFerran of Pocket Gamer rated the Android version 8/10 stars and wrote that Vector's playability makes up for its lack of innovation. Slide to Play, in their review of the iOS version, wrote, "Vector is a fantastic free-running simulation with plenty to love", though the reviewer described the gameplay as "a bit repetitive at times". Reviewing the Facebook version, Pete Davison of Adweek's SocialTimes blog called it "an impressive game in all respects" but said it needs better social features. Leif Johnson, who reviewed the Facebook version for Gamezebo, rated it 4/5 stars. Johnson described the gameplay as occasionally grindy but concluded that the game is "fun stuff, and much more challenging than your run-of-the mill Facebook fare." Cameron Woolsey of GameSpot rated the PC version 7/10 stars and wrote that the game is "a fast-paced joyride" when it does annoy with its grind.
