Vector Strain

About

You pilot a spacecraft through chaotic combat in this high-octane arcade shooter. Choose from five distinct ships each with unique abilities and blast through five intense stages packed with enemies. The controls are tight and the action never slows down making it easy to lose track of time. Competitive multiplayer modes let you face off against friends or strangers in frantic firefights. Sharp vector graphics give everything a sleek retro-futuristic look while the synth-heavy soundtrack pumps up the energy. Though released in 2015 it maintains a dedicated player base with regular community events keeping the competitive scene lively. The short campaign is satisfying but the real appeal lies in the endless high-score chasing and unpredictable power-up drops that keep each match fresh.
