Vector is a 2010 platform game developed by Nekki.
Plot
According to Nekki: "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.[1] 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".[2] 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.[3] 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."[4] 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.[5]
Sequels and Spinoffs
Vector was followed by Vector 2 and two spinoff games, Shadow Fight and Shadow Fight 2. The latter two were noted to be spiritual successors to Vector.
