Ten fighter jets. Eight warzones of arcade air combat. The sky starts shooting back the second your wheels leave the runway. Eight chapters of bombing raids behind enemy lines on hostile ground. A Survival mode that does not end until you do. Multiplayer all out dogfighting with friends available now! The war runs from the Afghan ridgelines to the lunar dust, and your orders are simple to state and hard to fly: take it all back! Your briefing follows. Read it once, then fly. KNOW YOUR AIRCRAFT Ten flyable warplanes, and some are secret. Find them. The F-35 Lightning II leads the formation: you have seen it already, it is the jet on the icon. Behind it, the F-22 Raptor, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the J-20, the Su-57, the AH-64 Apache for the days the job calls for a gunship, and the F-14 Tomcat, the only jet on the line that folds its wings back at speed. MULTIPLAYER Up to 6 players can play together, perfect for LAN parties and road trips. Get all your friends together for some serious action. Who will have the best flying skills? FLY THE CAMPAIGN 59 handcrafted missions across 8 chapters: Afghanistan, Iran, the Arctic, volcanic ridges, tropical islands, and more. Escort the convoy through the pass. Hunt the radar towers. Hold course through tracer fire thick enough to read by. Every victory pays, and pay buys firepower. Land, rearm, read the next briefing. OUTLAST SURVIVAL MODE No briefing covers this one. A procedurally generated run with no finish line, only escalation. Deserts give way to arctic passes, arctic passes to volcanic canyons. Fortified enemy bases dig in ahead of you, and the deeper you push, the harder the world reorganizes against you. No two runs the same. Fly until you fall. ARM YOURSELF Guns, bombs, and AIM missiles for the target. Flares, ECM jammers, and laser defense for everything coming back at you. Buy what the sortie calls for, drag it onto a hardpoint, upgrade between sorties. Your loadout is the difference between a medal and a hole in the sea. Then drag every HUD button to wherever your thumb wants it. Your cockpit, your layout. WIN THE BRAWL Deathmatch against five rival AI pilots who all want your rank. Climb the ladder from Bronze to Ace and hold it. Then settle it in person: LAN dogfights with up to six friends on the same Wi-Fi, no internet required. CHANGE THE MAP Unlock terrain packs and Survival changes shape: harvest valleys, tropical lagoons, low-poly dreamscapes, and the Moon, where nine planets hang in a black sky, UFOs lift enemy tanks off the battlefield, and sea serpents erupt from the dust. STANDING ORDERS No forced ads. Ever. Rewarded video plays only when you call for it. The full campaign and Survival mode fly offline: airplane mode is a flight condition, not a problem. The deck is clear and the jet is fueled. Wheels up, pilot. DEVICE COMPATIBILITY Play on iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later, including iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. iPhone Duo is supported through its standard compatibility layout. Full-screen Duo optimization is not yet available. 30 FPS on older devices, 60 FPS on 18 Pro models and 17 Pro models.

Find your flow. Survive the swarm. Vector: Arcade Survival is a one-thumb neon shooter built around momentum, precision, and the irresistible pull of one more run. Pilot a glowing vector ship through an escalating field of geometric enemies. Thrust to steer, line up your approach, and fire automatically when targets enter your sights. Every movement is a choice: drift through danger, redirect at the last second, or turn your momentum into the perfect attack. GRAB POWER UPS Collect Damage, Rapid Fire, Slow Motion, and Shield boosts. Activate them when you need an edge and manage their remaining charge through the run. MASTER THE SWARM Face enemy formations with distinct behaviors—from triangle chains and magnetic squares to perimeter shooters and relentless pursuers. BREAK THE BOSSES Survive periodic octagon boss battles featuring sweeping lasers and guided rockets you can dodge or shoot down. CHASE THE SCORE Build fast kill combos, earn hull repairs as the waves climb, unlock Game Center achievements, and compete on global and friends leaderboards.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vector at none against Jet Wars's shown. Vector also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). Jet Wars's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
