Vektor Wars

VEKTORS

Fun game with simple but awesome retro graphics. Easy to pick up, but has deceptive depth, especially once you get into the later levels. Well worth the buy on sale.

Tags: 1PS - First Person Shooter Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Too low ambitions. Needed to have at least handcrafted, scripted enemy encounters with better attack patterns and some lines of dialogue here and there. Library clutter as it is. Much too barebones. Showcase/demo grade at best. While I enjoyed the flavor this game was going for, and liked the retro shooter approach the lack of any storymode, scripting, deficient zombie like AI that gets spawned and slowly barrels towards you, the recycled game modes renamed differently to give an illusion of variety, lack of resolution support, small barebones maps and ultimately standard and uninventive weapon roster makes his a forgettable experience. No resolution options. Controls with gamepad for aiming is not ideal in this genre and turning auto assist on in the options feels wrong and like cheating. Game's storymode is just waves... in different maps. Maps are fun, but are just cardboard cutouts... or in this case neon cutouts with nothing to explore, nothing to interact with, just streets and shells of buildings. It gets old fast. There is a few weapon variety, minigun, rocket, combat shotgun but the fundamental gameplay does not change. Encounter design consists of random spawns around you no matter where you go until quota for wave is reached. It is possible to fall of the map's edge at times, in what may or may not be water, essentially forcing you to exit to menu to restart the level.
