Vector is an exciting, arcade-style game featuring you as the exceptional free runner who won’t be held down by the system. The game opens with a view into a totalitarian world where freedom and individually is nothing more than a distant dream. But the heart of a freerunner is strong, and you soon break free. Run, vault, slide and climb using extraordinary techniques based on the urban ninja sport of Parkour all while being chased by “Big Brother” who’s sole purpose is to capture you and bring you back. Inspired by the practice and principles of Parkour, Vector’s intuitive controls please players of all levels, and sophisticated level designs challenge the most demanding players with fast-paced timing puzzles as the traceur “flows” over the dystopian rooftops.

I can’t wait to be entrapped in Vector’s promising mix of direction and magnitude.” (appadvice.com) “Vector is thrilling, rich in variety and it reminds us of Stick Run, but offers much more elaborate animations.” (fbgamer.de) "The only cool way to run from all your problems."

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hyperburner at none against Vector Classic's 10. Hyperburner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 55%). Vector Classic's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 55 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On device support there is nothing between them.
