Hacktag is one of those hidden gems that do not appear on the front page. I found the game through exploring the games Steam had to offer and this one got my interest with the game being about hacking and co-operation. Little did I know I would have a lot of fun with this game. Hacktag is all about hacking like the name suggests. The basic objective is to hack 999 GB of data. There are currently 2 other objective types as well, which are finding out the password of boss computer and hacking 3 mainframes. Whatever your objective is the gameplay is similar in each one. Hacktag’s gameplay is always in co-op, even if you are playing solo. You either play as stealth agent inside the building or as a hacker finding your way through the network or both if you’re playing single player mode. As a stealth agent you’re in the building opening firewalls so the hacker can advance in the network and open doors for the agent while both of you are hacking away all the computers in sight to gather precious data. Simple, right? Well, simple doesn’t always mean easy. As a stealth agent you need to avoid guards and cameras and a few occasional… surprises. As a hacker you will encounter scanners and antiviruses which are eager to catch you… and a few occasional surprises as well. In order to pass by you will need to work together. Stealth agent can disable scanners and antiviruses for a moment and the hacker can disable cameras and distract guards by tactical phone calls or making coffee. Yes, you read correctly, guards will investigate if a coffee machine suddenly starts making coffee. But most importantly, you need to work together for some doors and the main computers need both characters to access and when that silent alarm is about to go off, both of you need to be disabling it. I recommend completing tutorial first so you get the idea how to play but once you get the hang of it, you’re in for quite the adventures! Hacktag offers adventures through story modes. Each character you create has a story of their own and it’s always generated the moment you create one so even if you create the exact same character again, the story can be different. You’ll encounter quite many references to media, TV shows, other games and people which increases Hacktag’s charm. As you play you will unlock skills to help you on your journey and loot safes, which I’ll get to later. Hacktag offers different skills for your character. They can be easier minigames, faster hacking and a one-time-used skill per mission, one of them being a smoke bomb to vanish from guards and make your escape if caught. Test them all to find out what suits you! Remember the loot safes? The game offers you a loot safe every time when you complete a mission. But no worries, the game has absolutely no micro-transactions, loot keys and whatsoever. Once you get a safe, it’s instantly ready to open. The safes contain skins, clothes, accessories and more for your characters but they are not needed to advance the actual gameplay. The cosmetics are actually so stylish it’s fun to collect them. Big thank you to developers for keeping the game this way. When I purchased the game, I got the full game! It’s also only 1 GB which is also welcome in the world of 50+ GB being a standard for a game. The developers deserve their own part in the review. They are wonderful people! The game has its own Discord channel where you can find players to play with you and talk to developers, talk about the game, suggest new things to the game and mention if you encounter a bug. The devs notice your messages and react to them. Not only that but sometimes you may be lucky to even play with a developer! I got to play with a developer one day and that high score still keeps its’ place. One day I’ll make it even higher but even though I get those sweet S ranks in single player as well, it isn’t easy to beat... until today, at the time of this edit there is a new high score! The game is getting new languages over time and is quite often on sale. It also has special missions during specific times of the year. Once you get the hang of it, Hacktag is easy to pick up and play and that’s why I like it so much. You don’t need too much time to play a game or two and maybe even more than that if you feel like it. I tend to play more than I thought and that’s what a good game does. Well worth the price! Now please excuse me. There’s hacking to be done.

Good for a few hours of fun, but the game is awfully simplistic. After you get a couple unlocked skills (which why are they unlocks in the first place?), many of which are tiny boosts which amount to filler, the game just stops progressing and stops being interesting. Both the hacker and the thief have an extremely limited number of actions they can do, so most of the time you are just moving from place to place, waiting for your buddy to do something, then they sit around while you do something. I like the hacking bits, which have DDR arrow combinations you have to do in a limited time, or matching letter and number combinations with your partner. But that gets real boring since that's pretty much all the variety there is. Perhaps if you care a lot about best times and trying to beat the best records you'll get more mileage out of this, but I'm more interested in game mechanics and coop puzzles than score attacks.

*VERSION FRANÇAISE EN DESSOUS* Hacktag is what I would call an "old-school" asymmetric cooperation game. You have one hacker and one infiltrated agent. Here, you do not need an ally to pull that lever at the same time, push that box or simply help you defeat a boss. An AI can do that. No, you NEED your ally to progress in the level by distracting the right guard while you pass behind him, disabling a scanner so you can infiltrate the network in a sneaky way, opening the right door or slamming said door in the face of the guard who caught you. Pros [*] I really had fun while playing Hacktag, either online or in split-screen with friends. It should be noted that the most violent thing you can do is slamming a door on a guard. No fighting. No weapon. [*] The characters are very well designed and quite customizable. Maybe foxes soon *-* [*] The graphics are colourful and enjoyable. Each corporation has its own visual theme. [*] Lots of events with themed unlockables. [*] The devs are easily reachable (via Discord) and are working very hard to fix any bug we report to them. (I have discovered one during the Paris Games Week, and it was fixed in the next patch.) Cons [*] Few players available via matchmaking. This is still early-access. The matchmaking suffers from 2 factors: many people bought the game to specifically play with a friend and the game is lacking visibility. Easy-fix: Spread the word! [*] Bugs. You WILL encounter bugs, mostly in online modes (at least at the time of writing). The devs are aware of that and working hard to solve them. (For instance, when I bought the game, you could not do the tutorial (infinite loading). It was fixed the same day this bug was introduced.) [*] The gameplay can feel repetitive when you start mastering a given difficulty level. However more minigames were recently added (I have not yet tested them) and mastering hard difficulty is still, well, hard. In short, if you like cooperative games and you have a partner to play with (or you can find some on the Discord server of the game), this game is pretty fun. Go for it, especially if you can have 2 for the price of 1 (like during the autumn sales). *VERSION FRANÇAISE* Hacktag est ce que j'appellerai un jeu de coopération asymétrique "old-school". Vous êtes soit le hacker, soit l'agent infiltré. Ici, votre allié(e) ne vous sert pas simplement à tirer un levier en même temps, pousser une caisse ou servir d’appât durant un combat de boss. Vous avez BESOIN de votre allié(e) pour progresser, que ce soit en distrayant le bon garde pendant que vous passez derrière, désactiver le scanner pour pouvoir infiltrer le réseau, ouvrir la bonne porte ou claquer la dite porte au nez du garde qui vous a repéré. Pros [*] J'ai passé de très bons moments sur Hacktag, que ce soit en ligne ou en écran splitté avec des amis (oui le jeu se joue en bon vieux écran splitté). Il faut cependant noter que l'action la plus violente sera de claquer une porte au nez des gardes. Pas de combat. Pas d'arme. [*] Les personnages sont très bien faits et assez personnalisables. Les renards seront peut-être là bientôt *-* [*] L'univers graphique est très coloré et appréciable. Chaque entreprise a son propre thème visuel reconnaissable. [*] Beaucoup d'événements avec des objets thématisés à débloquer. [*] Les développeurs sont très facilement accessibles (via Discord) et travaillent d'arrache-pied pour corriger chaque bug que les joueurs rapportent. (J'en ai découvert un durant la Paris Games Week, et il a été corrigé dans le patch suivant.) Cons [*] Peu de joueurs disponible sur le matchmaking en ligne. Le jeu est encore en accès anticipé. Le matchmaking est affecté pour deux raisons : pas mal de monde a acheté le jeu pour jouer avec un partenaire précis en tête et le jeu souffre d'un manque de visibilité pour le moment. La solution : Faites passer le mot ! [*] Bugs. Vous ALLEZ rencontrer des bugs, principalement en mode en ligne (à l'heure où j'écris ces lignes). Les développeurs sont au courant et font tout leur possible pour les corriger. (Par exemple, lorsque j'ai acheté le jeu, il n'était plus possible de faire le tutoriel (chargement infini). Ce bug a été corrigé dans la journée où il a été introduit.) [*] Le gameplay peut sembler répétitif lorsque vous maîtrisez un certain niveau de difficulté. Cependant, de nouveaux minijeux ont été ajoutés (je ne les ai pas encore testés) et maîtriser les cartes difficiles reste encore difficile. En résumé, si vous aimez les jeux coopératifs et que vous avez un partenaire pour jouer avec vous (ou que vous ne trouvez sur le Discord du jeu), Hacktag est vraiment fun. N'hésitez pas à l'acheter, surtout si vous pouvez avoir 2 copies pour le prix d'1 (avec les soldes d'automne par exemple).

The game itself seems simple but the co-op element is amazing. It is definitively one of those games I would play with a buddy all afternoon. Except that I can never play that much, or at all, since the game crashes and disconnects either of us constantly. And guess what, if either player drops for any reason - game over. No matter how late or early you are into the mission. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 20 or even 30 minutes if you are having a hard time. It's just a flat out boot to both of your faces. "Play Online" and "Play Local" are extremely confusing (specially when playing with a bud instead of matchmaking). Also, party invites seems buggy as hell, since sometimes your buddy is invited then disconnects/crashes and then comes back but is not at your party and you can't remove it - means both of you have to close and re-open the game. To get in a. freaking. party. If we could finish the 2nd mission without 2 hours attempts due to crash/disconnect and weird bugs, I would definitively recommend it, but be warned that the game still has some problems and quirks to get sorted. If you are patient enough to get through those you are probably gonna love the game. Also, their support is very good and reliable. The things the game might have been lacking in compatibility and stability are certainly compensated by their support team.

When I first purchased this game, there were bugs galore. In the few moths since, Piece of Cake Studios has fixed many of these bugs and has been nothing but helpful AF in squashing any other bugs. I am use to AAA game devs that do not seem to give a crap about what gamers think but the folks at POCS seem to LISTEN to their customers and take into account what we want. The game still has a few bugs here and there but I have to say I will continue to support this developer just for their customer service alone if nothing else. Game companies like this NEED to know that we will support them as long as they continue to support US. 10/10
