EXVECTOR — Official Press Kit & Media Dossier

DESCRIPTION & CORE MECHANICAL PILLARS

Developed by Crenet Games, ExVector (EXV / XV) pioneers the 2D sci-fi "Xtractvania" subgenre—fusing the interconnected, ability-gated room graphs and momentum-driven grapple traversal of classic 2D Metroidvanias with the persistent loot stakes, acoustic fog-of-war, and contested extraction holdouts of a multiplayer PvPvE extraction shooter.

Rendered in a clinical High-Gloss Survival + Ligne Claire vector aesthetic over #0A0B0E Void Black shadows, every operative in ExVector shares a strict server-authoritative 28x64 capsule hitbox and 60Hz client-predicted physics simulation—ensuring zero-RNG firefights where mechanical mastery and tactical negotiation decide who escapes the orbital facility alive.

Four Core Mechanical Pillars

• 1. Deterministic RPS Combat & 180ms Phase Dash Parry: Zero random weapon bloom. Fast Fire (800 px/s) suppresses reckless Phase Dash approaches; Charge Shot (0.65s wind-up, 45 DMG) overpowers Fast Fire streams; and triggering a Phase Dash within 180ms of an incoming Charge Shot executes a radial Counter Flash that resets dash cooldown and deflects the bolt along your 360-degree aim vector at 1.5x velocity (1800 px/s).
• 2. Analog IonTether Grapple Physics: Continuous left-trigger (LT) tension separates orbital pendulum swings (0.15–0.55 depression) from high-G reel-in bursts (>0.55 depression) and mid-air BioCore canister snatches.
• 3. Seeded 12–16 Sector Graph & 30-Minute Sector Purge: Non-linear Metroidvania sector topology featuring multiple cyclical loops, vertical grapple shafts, anti-camp perimeter airlock spawns, autonomous PvE security drones, and a facility-wide Sector Purge countdown.
• 4. 1-Hop Acoustic Occlusion & Proximity Parley: Shoot-to-open Aeion Cyan (#00E5FF) and Charge-Only Plasma Orange (#FF5500) bulkhead hatches attenuate cross-room sound while enabling non-verbal R3 Radial Comms negotiation (DOOR_KNOCK sonar, shatterable TRUCE_BEACON ceasefire holograms, and physical DROP_BIOCORE_BRIBE canister tosses).
