A team-based hacking video game would make perfect sense (just ask anyone who has competed in a security Capture the Flag competition), but it’s a difficult concept to represent in a fun and accessible way. Hacktag tries, but doesn’t quite succeed.
'Hacktag' is a co-op game with good ideas, but it fails to hit the bars it needs.
Piece of Cake Studios, the independent video game studio specializing in co-op games, announces today that the special spring event for Hacktag, called "Easter Eggs" will start this Week-end via Steam.
HackTag was a lot fun to play in short bursts, and even better to play with a good friend; combining action-puzzlers with simple hacking mechanics to steal as much information as possible from corporations and laughing at the silly mistakes one another would make all along the way.
Shame it doesn't live up to its potential.
