About Vector 36

Vector 36 is Physics-Based Racer set on the terraformed surface of Mars. You pilot a Skimmer, a completely customizable, surface skimming vehicle. With total control over every component, you are responsible for how your Skimmer performs. Piloting skill and engineering make the difference between winning and losing.

Race other pilots through various tracks on Mars. Compete in Sprint, Circuit, or Tournament modes to win credits, parts, or new Skimmers. Race your friends through Vector 36's amazing ghost replay system. Take on the world with Global Leaderboards. Push your machine to the limits until you are the fastest settler on Mars.

Each part of your Skimmer is bound by the laws of physics. Moving internal components will shift the center of gravity, adjusting angles to thrusters will affect its flight characteristics.

Fine tuning is the difference between winning and losing. Choose from a wide selection of parts, accessories, passive weapons, or support gear to adjust your Skimmer to its task. Whether it's a quick sprint at full boost, an endurance race with hardened parts, or a hill climb where lift is more important than thrust; evolve or get left behind.

Witness new skimmers, tracks, obstacles, support bots, parts, weapons, opponents and game modes. Vector36 will be growing over time.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Vector 36 as an exceptionally deep and physics-driven anti-gravity racer with engaging, realistic flight mechanics that set it apart from arcade competitors, particularly in VR where it remains largely unmatched. However, they frequently criticize the unintuitive controls and clunky interface, alongside frustration with the small player base, abandoned multiplayer, lack of promised updates, and desire for additional content like new tracks or environments to justify continued engagement with the aging game.

This game is clunky, unintuitive, frustrating, and unfair. It is also one of the best racers I've ever played, and definitely the best in the anti-gravity racing genre. When I say "anti-gravity racing", it's possible that you might think of games like wipeout, redout, pacer, f-zero, ballisticNG and the like. This is a pretty unfair comparison... for those other games. You see, while most of these racing games are just essentially faster, driftier variations of car racers with maybe some pitch control gimmick, Vector 36 goes all the way in the opposite direction, going for a simmy, incredibly complex experience more akin to [i]very[/i] low flying spacecraft. Forget about crazy loop-de-looping flat tracks, you are now ripping ass through the uneven, craggy Martian circuits these hovercraft were designed for. There are no split-second, twitchy turns or shield management, instead you will be maneuvering your incredibly fast low-altitude missile through tracks via momentum, strategy, systems management, and physics. In a sense, this is the rallycross of its genre, if rally cars were able to fly at 500+ kmh. It's not only the fact that you can basically trim your power to lift ratio on…

It was interesting, i would like a sequel, feels a bit dated, still fun if you get it cheap, not worth buying a dead multiplayer game tho for most lol, like how the game description has skimmer,tracks,etc. updates as a feature and there were none

Almost 10 years and it's still pretty much my favorite game in VR. Hover racing but with real physics sim (not arcade controls) and racing over a real landscape is something I haven't found anywhere else, though I really wish there were more games like this! I would love a DLC or sequel with additional tracks and environments. We might have to leave mars to do it, but racing through a forest and/or a city would be really cool. Mapping the controls to a HOTAS with the throttle set to the Bias control makes it the most active game to move the throttle around, which is really fun. Ugh I just love this game.

Awesome game.. bit of a shame that there is only a small following. Not seen anything like it. Could have some improvement in control mappings but nothing major. Have to say im a bit addicted to it. From the workshop to the racetrack. Great concept, great idea, great physics, great execution. Love it!
