    Minor issues aside, escapeVektor still packs a lot; in addition to the story and online leaderboards, the game features a variety of achievement-like badges, and every level has four high score medals.

    Make no mistake: escapeVektor is a great game. It's not without its flaws, but they're extremely minor when compared against everything the game gets exactly right.

    Niggles aside, escapeVektor is a game in which everything included works perfectly and anything left on the cutting room floor isn't missed. It's a fantastic value in addition to being fantastically fun to play, and it belongs on every 3DS.

    A very interesting title, whose content could have been improved. We may feel it's quite repetitive, so we recommend taking our time to go through it, having even a little break between episodes.

    escapeVektor is a smartly designed game which requires great skill both in the puzzle and in the action genre. It is also difficult, long and rewarding. Unfortunately the situations in the game tend to repeat themselves, and its aesthetic minimalism, while good for someone, will be a minus for many gamers.

    An interesting and stylish game that unfortunately lacks the charm necessary to cover the problems of the port.

    Basically a Pac-man clone without much personality of its own.
