hack_me

Hack Me is the beginning of a hack simulator gaming trilogy which no longer appears on the Steam Store. It was originally created by 2 Belarus Indie Developers Egor Magurin https://twitter.com/IndoversStudio and Eugene RadaeV. I find it ironic that these developers themselves were VAC banned and caught for cheating/hacking CSGO within 76 hrs of gameplay. Who better to sell us a hacking simulator than 2 has-been wannabe noob CSGO hackers? That’s poetry right there.

If you’re expecting this to be a realistic hacking simulator you will be quickly disappointed. It’s more a press spacebar or left mouse button simulator, with all the hacking jive being filled in for you. When you do come across area’s where you do get to type, you better put in the exact info needed or the game sort of locks up by not responding properly when you put in the correct answer soon thereafter. When this happens, you will need to escape back to main menu and reload chapter. There are 10 mission all up with 14 chapters, all of them involving you to toy around with at least one of the 3 hacking programmes on your desktop and either check your mail or chat for job information. There is also a hint button on the right-hand side to help you if you get stuck.

Basic Information

Title: hack_me

Developers: Egor Magurin & Eugene Radaev

Publisher: MegawattsCo

Genre: Simulator

General Impression

Hacking simulations available for purchase on the Steam Store are neither a novelty nor even limited in numbers. Indeed this seems to be an ever expanding subgenre that attacts and nurtures a dedicated fanbase. That being said, hack_me might not revolutionize hacking sims but it doesn’t fail to deliver a compelling experience either. For a game that can be finished in about two hours or less (depending on how thorough and patient you are) it manages to offer exactly what it promises through the screenshots and gameplay video. In all honesty, it’s not the type of game that might get by with doctored images which would falsely advertise something else. What you see is what you get. Perhaps it still has some potential for gameplay expansion once it leaves Early Access stage.

Fun little tower defense game. Does a few things new, does a lot of things well, and scratches the tower defense itch nicely. Story bangs on incomprehensibly but, honestly, you can skip the story and miss nothing. There’s one or two other minor quibbles but, really, for the price you’re getting fantastic value. If you like tower defense games this is a solid entry.

I am so close to liking this game, but as it stands currently I wouldn’t recommend it. The rough edges detract enough from the experience that a good chunk of my 2 hour complete playthrough ended up being annoying.

Gameplay:

The core mechanic of the game is actually better than I expected, and there’s a lot of interesting variation that could’ve been done with it. That said, the chosen variations aren’t that interesting, or don’t live up to their potential. The move counter seems like something that would be important, but it’s actually totally ignorable for the entire game. I wasn’t even close to losing on turns once, and even racked up 200+ turns sometimes. It’s possible I just accidentally over leveled, but I wasn’t trying to in particular, and I ended the game at 16 when there’s an achievement for 15, so I think that’s just how it’s balanced. It becomes a game of mashing out anything valid as fast as you can, because there’s no incentive to be turn efficient besides the time extra key presses take.

It was a fun experience. I encountered some small bugs. Sometimes, it felt like enemies die without me hitting them. Also, the game could minimize. I think it is because I have two monitors. However, I did not become bored.
