Blast through endless waves of asteroids and enemies in this retro indie action game set across seven sectors of the Vektor Z galaxy. Thrust forward with W, rotate using A and D, fire with the left mouse button, and escape danger via hyperspace on the right mouse button. Each sector delivers unique challenges with tips to guide your ship as you progress.
Collect golden stars to secure upgrades or extra ships, and build Valor Starz for permanent perks like ship colors and designs that carry over between runs. Run out of ships? Trade Valor Starz for another life, but save some for lasting advantages. This rogue-like space arcade hooks old-school and new players with its persistent progression and custom art paired to original music.
Vektor Z brings fast and furious retro space blasting action to Steam! Blast your way through endless waves of asteroids and enemies to write your name among the stars for all to see! Vektor Z offers both relentless action and vibrant visuals that is certain to have you playing again and again!
More than just blasting asteroids:
You'll travel through seven different sectors of the Vektor Z galaxy, each presenting its own unique challenges. Learning how to succeed in each sector as you progress through the levels is half of the fun! Each sector will give you tips on the basics before you spawn your ship there!
Along the way, you'll come across golden stars that can be collected and either saved for later upgrades or used near the end of your game to buy extra ships! Should you run out of ships at the end of your game, and you have accumulated enough Valor Starz, you'll be offered an option to use some to buy another life. But decide carefully, because any Valor Starz you keep will always be saved when you exit the game and can be used to buy upgrades that will save permanently to aid you in your future games! Valor Starz can also be used before or after each game to buy new colors and ship designs to get your preferred "cooler" look so you can play in style! The ability to keep your Valor Starz and use them to buy permanent upgrades that save until the next time you play makes Vektor Z an addicting rogue-like space arcade game that you'll find yourself returning to again and again!
Original, exhilarating music along with unique custom drawn art make Vektor Z an unforgettable gaming experience for both old school and new gamers alike!
