“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!”
“I absolutely love it! Flying a Vector is really cool, especially when you do it fast paced. The maps are very well done. It may take a moment to get used to the controls, but believe me, this game is worth it!”
“Great game which brings some fresh wind within all the generic FPS games released in the last months. Perfect game to play on LAN with some Friends and a crate of beer.”

“Game is dead. Seems like it could have been ok if it had funding. It's dead though. Empty servers and unbalanced gameplay.”

“If you've seen the store page's trailer, then Strike Vector is as fun as it looks. Be warned, beta is beta. Servers crash frequently, and there are frequent glitches with the menus. For instance, after being boot out of a game due to a crashed server, you must restart it to play…”
