Developer TimeSymmetry and publisher Iceberg Interactive have announced that Vector Thrust, an arcade flight game with simulation elements, will be coming to Steam this spring.

TimeSymmetry is a one-man studio based in Braga, Portugal, founded in 2011 and focusing on small but high-quality PC game production.

Vector Thrust is a fast-paced flight simulation game with cel-shaded visuals that offers a varied menu of game modes to choose from, having both options for quick instant play as well as a deep story-based campaign.

"Fans of classic arcade and combat flight games are sure to fall in love with Vector Thrust. TimeSymmetry is the perfect example of a small, one-man team following its own passionate vision. And it has done an excellent job creating an all new flight combat experience, delivering the added ability for users to create their own content -- and more," said Iceberg Interactive CEO Erik Schreuder.

Vector Thrust offers players a wide array of aircraft to choose from, as well as an intelligent AI to battle, with tactical decision to make in scenarios where every unit works in tune with the mission goals on a dynamic and ever-changing battlefield that never offers the same gameplay experience twice.

The game has been developed with attention to detail, and each and every aircraft is faithfully recreated, with tactical flight behavior enabled while simultaneously remaining playable and easy to pick up for casual players.

Vector Thrust offers more than 200 aircraft inspired from real-world models as well as unusual and rare prototypes, all of which have been recreated with precision in order to emphasize each one's unique flight and tactical characteristics.

Players can test their abilities in Challenge mode, where every aircraft is available to them, fight for the highest score in Arcade mode or customize their battle parameters in Skirmish mode.

They can opt to jump straight into the fire with the Quick Action mode or they can enjoy the Campaign mode, set in a unique world context and offering a story-based experience.

Players can even create their own operations, tuning settings to the finest detail by using the mission editor and expanding the original game with custom content or changing the flavor of the game with a variety of mutations.

Of course, the most challenging aspect of the game will be its highly cut-throat Multiplayer mode, which provides an extensive variety of different game modes for players to compete in.
