868-HACK App Reviews

For $5.99 I expected a lot more. The graphics are simple. The gameplay both repetitive and boring. Maybe Im missing something regarding gameplay. This is my most regrettable purchase on the Istore.

This game is perfect. Extremely difficult, yet deep and satisfying in its simplicity.

Give 86856527 a try, and then come back and buy this. Takes what was already an awesome turn based strategy-puzzle-dungeon-explorer-cyberpunk-roguelike and refines it with new power ups and a nice unlock system. Really satisfying when you just barely sneak out alive...

I dont write reviews often, but Im compelled to for this game due to how much Ive enjoyed it. Took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do (even after the tutorial), but after some play time, everything began to click. Great atmosphere and the elegant design keep me coming back for more.

loved the aha-moments as the game gradually revealed its mechanics~

The game is pretty simple and not really worth the price. In terms of length and complexity I think this should be a $2-$3 game. I would go back and tell myself not to buy it. Basic puzzle game with randomly generated levels. All abilities are accessible from the first level. Not much discovery to be had.

An absolutely brilliant and addictive game.

My favourite iPhone game of all time. The game balance and design is perfection. If you like the look of the game then just get it. Its a classic game and I hope it brings you hours of fun like it did for me

I thought this was a roguelike I had played years back somewhat based on shadowruns version of the net. Design your own programs, level up, avoid the Feds by burning their files on you. I was mistaken, sadly and am left with a game I am pretty dissatisfied with. Almost looks like some landscaping took place in the review section but cest la vie. 3 stars as it was my mistake but its ~8.50CAD Ill never get back.

Stupid silly gameplay - ZX spectrum games were bigger and interested.

Amazing game, can you optimize it for iPhone6 and 6 plus? :)

This game is awesome. Each stages overall objectives seem straightforward: gather power-spheres; select and hack microchips; wipe out the viruses; and finally, advance to the next stage. However, in practice the mechanics are deep, the strategy multi-layered. For instance: - Each virus exhibits different behaviors and characteristics: some are durable and can absorb damage, while others are flimsy and weak, but fast enough to corner and catch the careless player. - Different resources allow the player to run different defensive or offensive weapons/programs. Some programs transform one resource to another, which might give access to a needed program. - The fact the resources are scattered randomly throughout each stage means that some microchips might not have a high point value, but might have value by being adjacent to a needed resource. This is the type of experimental game that not only deserves a place high on the payed charts, but fulfills the promise of what iPhone gaming should be. Kudos to the developer.

I had read numerous reviews about this game and was unsure what I was getting into spending nearly $7. All I can say is, Im glad I took the plunge and discovered the true genius behind this game. On the surface, it may seem simple, but as you figure out the rules of the game, learn tricks, and how to adapt to the randomly generated levels, you discover an immersive experience that I can only describe as the most in-depth, fun, challenging, rewarding, puzzling strategy game I have ever laid eyes on. The graphics are simple and I LOVE them. Its all about the gameplay. This game will make you THINK whether youre a veteran or novice, you will always be challenged. The beauty of this game is in its open-ended system of strategy. Instead of the game explicitly telling you how to "solve" puzzles, the tutorial shows you how to move, attack enemies, and use programs. Its up to YOU to learn/decide HOW to play. This game is absolutely fantastic; I cant say enough good things about it. Be warned: it is TOUGH and will make you think a lot. If youd rather be immersed in a fantasy realm that rewards you for spending 6 hours a day playing while involving little to no skill, this game is NOT for you. If the idea of a game that truly requires intellect and strategy while letting you play as often or infrequently/ whenever you want sounds appealing, THIS IS THE LAST GAME YOU WILL EVER NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON!!!!! Get it and stop wasting your time on all those other stupid mind-numbing games!!!!!!! I almost never write reviews but I was absolutely impressed by this game so much that I had to write one. This game is so phenomenal and original that it has shown me how truly bland most, if not all, the other games on the App Store are. Truly worth every dime and minute I have put into it. Thank you, developer. You have created a game that I can play by myself that makes me think as much, if not more than chess.

Dont waste your money or time on this horrible game!!!!!!

I bought this game to kill time during a trip from California to Texas. The price point is scary, but I found that it was worth every penny. This game is unpredictable, unique, deeply strategic and most importantly forever replayable. Strategy fans looking to get a great experience on their phones have found it. Its just not very accessible to most iOS gamers.

As like everyone else, I was cautious about the steep price. After playing however, I was surprised. For huge roguelike fans, this is a must buy! This and Hoplite are my top favorites.

The game isnt broken, so it doesnt get one star. However, especially considering the price I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the game. Its a unique type of game, but with little depth and enjoyment. If this was .99 itd be easier to try- but the reviews were good- I just cant understand why. Perhaps they know the developers? At this point, I just want a refund. Dont regret your decision too... Dont buy it...

Ignore any suggestion that this game is shallow; for those who have not cracked it, it may appear to be, but beneath the surface is a stunningly deep strategy game that makes you want to learn its mechanics.

The first 15 reviews are definitely by michael broughs friends because they all just say its perfect. The unique gameplay is AMAZING, and the low-effort graphics pass as minimal, cute, and smart. As you get more skillful at strategizing, the game can keep getting harder. Its so perfectly balanced. BUT, I wish there were some point to improving your scores. Maybe the top scores sum can be used to unlock upgrades for another game mode. Its an amazing game, but doesnt have the playability worth $6.

I had heard so much about this game so I finally caved and spent the $6. Waited for the price to drop, but it never did. After playing the game I can truly say it is a great game. *However* it is NOT worth $6. Wait for the price to go down (if it ever does). No matter how great the game is, I dont think Ive gotten my $6 out of it. Im pretty bored with it at this point, with no reason to continue. What am I working towards? No unlockables? Should I continue to beat my own score? I even did the "step into wall and debug yourself" trick that was floating around online. Also, what are the points for? Theres no incentive that I can tell to gain points...
