868-Hack, the beloved mobile game, is poised for a comeback with its sequel, 868-Back, now seeking funding through a crowdfunding campaign. This roguelike digital dungeon crawler lets players experience the thrill of hacking cyberpunk mainframes.
Cyber warfare often falls short of its exciting premise, but 868-Hack successfully captures the essence of hacking. Similar to the acclaimed PC game Uplink, it cleverly balances simplicity and challenge in its programming and information warfare mechanics. The original's successful execution of this concept is well-documented.
868-Back expands upon its predecessor by introducing a larger world to explore, revamped and enhanced Progs (programming commands), and improved graphics and sound. Players will continue to chain Progs together to create complex actions, a core element of the original's gameplay.
Conquering the Digital Landscape
868-Hack's gritty art style and cyberpunk aesthetic are undeniably appealing. Given the challenges faced by game developers, supporting this crowdfunding campaign feels like a worthwhile endeavor. While crowdfunding inherently carries risk, we wholeheartedly wish developer Michael Brough success in bringing 868-Back to fruition.
