Iceberg Interactive, the publishers of Starpoint Gemini 2 and Time Symmetry, has just announced that their arcade-style flight game Vector Thrust will be available for purchase on Steam, this spring, for the PC.

The game will feature fast-paced combat in the skies, as you pilot and manoeuvre your plane to defeat others. There will be a variety of game modes to choose from, including a deep story-mode campaign. You’ll be able to choose over 200 different models of planes while engaging in aerial combat with intelligent AI. The game boasts an ability for dynamic gameplay, meaning that you’ll never play the same way twice, leading to a great opportunity for flight-enthusiasts.

Fans of classic arcade and combat flight games are sure to fall in love with Vector Thrust. Time Symmetry 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.
