Strike Vector

Wow. I went into this saying," Well.. why not." Biggest mistake of my life. This is one of the most original, fun concepts that I have seen in a while. I will DEFINITLY be supporting this game. 10/10 would play again!

[h1]Phenominal And Underappreciated // Tragically Unpopulated[/h1] + Great visual design and graphics, with beautiful and creative environments + Great ship design; has a similar 'gritty' feel that fans of HAWKEN will feel right at home in + Gameplay is very fast-paced and highly skill dependant + Weapons and ship upgrades are extremely well-balanced + Controls are sharp and responsive + Seems to still be getting somewhat regular updates, that appear to be flush with new content - Almost non-existent player-base. Every time I play, there is only one active server, ever. For this reason, I cannot recommend the game, being that it is a strictly PvP title. This game is truly an amazing gem, and is insanely entertaining to play, but the developers appear to have spent approximately zero dollars on marketing, and this keeps the player base at almost extinct levels. If elbowing your way into one, solitary server to play is not a deal-breaker for you, then by all means buy this game. Save for this one game-breaking, negative point, the game is absolutely worth paying even full price for. I am genuinely sorry that I cannot recommend this game to everyone, as it's just fantastic.

If this game had a single player campaign, this game would have been amazing. It has such great customisation and fantastic gameplay and controls. Unfortunately it's multiplayer only and you can't find anyone online so there is no reason to buy this game at all.

Amazing game, too bad the community is rather small But you only need one server with people on to enjoy yourself as the game is playable even at relatively high pings.

I’m writing this review for the upcoming sale for Strike Vector. Because I think this game deserves more players. Let’s get started. Strike Vector is the quickest game I’ve played both in the Shooter Genre but also in Aerial Combat. It mixes Tribes and SpaceCowboys (AKA: Ace Online(AKA: AirRivals)) very well. Because of the high speed good reflexes are needed. You will often chase someone who deploys mines to get rid of you, if you’re too slow to hit Harrier Mode, more about Harrier Mode later, or activate your shield you’ll turn into a burning uncontrollable wreckage that shoots trough the sky at high speed and crash into an object. Or if you can aim carefully into another player, your killer perhaps. Hit detection is also well done in this game, when you collide with something you’re most likely death, but there are exceptions: When you collide with something in Harrier Mode (again more about harrier mode later) you most likely take some damage or no damage at all, unless you collide head on (which rarely happens). Also if you try to pick up a cool down or some health (which often floats above object or the ground) you might bump the ground, if you do this from a too steep angle you’re dead, but doing this in an angle (similar to how a plane lands or maybe even a sharper angle) you will grind over the ground (you will take damage overtime) but you’re not dead and you’ll get the repair/cooldown you aimed for. Why I’m telling you this? Well Now you know you don’t need to be exactly aligned in a straight line to the pick-ups to be able to get them and survive when the float on the ground. It also kind off shows why I think the hit registration is great. Hit registration by shooting is like any shooter that properly detects hits (looking at you CS:GO). Every weapon, weapon modifications, perks and abilities are unlocked from the start.. What’s left to unlock? The Cosmetics: Decals, ship parts, thumbnails, concept arts and camouflage. This gives new players an equal start in gear and still have items to level up for. Your Vector has 2 modes: Striker mode and Harrier mode. Striker mode is the normal dogfighting mode, you fly fast and are highly manoeuvrable. Ready to fly in narrow passages to shoot rockets at your target where to knockback causes your enemy to collide into the walls and you’re being able to watch the explosion from your rear-view, just like in the movies. Harrier mode will instantly stop your ship and let it float around, you’re slow in this mode. But it allows you to fully stop your ship and perform more accurate shots. Harrier mode is often used as breaks to prevent head on collisions or to make a sharp turn. Try to juggle in both modes and you’ll be able to master flying in no time. There is only 1 flaw in this game: Weapon balancing, some weapons and abilities are way to powerful. 2 shots with Swarm or Homing missiles (2 flaws in this game actually: Lock-on weapons) and you’re dead. Also the Stalker mine’s activation time is way too fast, if someone drops it in front of your nose while you chase him you’re dead for sure. Overall Rating: 87 out of 100. Also did I mention the free monthly content updates they add instead of paid DLC? I hope this was enough to convince you to buy this game.

We might give this a try at a LAN party but it doesn't seem worth devoting a lot of time to otherwise. The community, as has been stated by others, is pretty small. The veteran players prey on the noobs since there is no matchmaking and the go-to strategy seems to be dual plasma which is a one-shot kill if you can land it (which they often can). This is compounded by the overall learning curve of piloting the vector. My last game had a player sitting back at his base, spawn-camping the crap out of our base with dual plasmas and the zoom perk. Not only is this extremely frustrating (and bad from a design perspective) but it does not help build or retain community with the influx of new blood coming from the Steam sale. If this is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that the game devolves into for veteran players, I want no part in this community. It is fun to play casually with a few friends and, like I said perhaps at a LAN party, but I don't see myself playing this a lot.

This game is heartbreaking. It is fun to play; it has a super high skill ceiling; the visuals are nice and the overall graphic style is crisp. The only thing is that no one ever plays it. I would totally reccomend Strike Vector if it were not for this fact.

I've had this game since it's realease. It's one of the best air shooter games out there,though it's hard and that's why people do not play it. I myself havent played in ages as well,due to it barely having nay players,though I would love to see more people playing. It's a great game and I would love to see people actually giving it a chance. I do recommend it to people who are willing to learn how to play and have patience.

Quake + Descent + Gundam. Excellent game but way too competitive to enjoy casually so it died pretty fast. If this had come out 15 years earlier during the heyday of arena shooters... would have played it a lot more.
