Upon its release, Vector TD was acclaimed for its distinct visual style, with The Guardian describing its "shiny neon-looking graphics" as a standout feature that distinguished it from other Flash games of the era. [6] The game was praised for its strategic depth, noting that its elemental damage system and pre-set path design offered a "more thinkey" and tactical alternative to the chaotic nature of contemporaries like Desktop Tower Defense. [7] Its IGN rating is 8/10, describing it as a "Solid tower defense never gets old". [8]
Following the global shutdown of Adobe Flash Player in December 2020, original versions of the game became rendered unplayable in standard browsers.
