868-Hack, the beloved mobile game, is poised for a comeback! A crowdfunding campaign has launched for its sequel, 868-Back, promising a renewed experience of cyberpunk hacking.
Imagine the thrill of cracking mainframes, a roguelike digital dungeon crawl. Cyber warfare often falls short of its cool potential, but 868-Hack successfully captures the essence of hacking. Unlike the Hollywood portrayal, this game makes the complex world of programming and information warfare feel both intuitive and challenging, much like the PC classic, Uplink. The original 868-Hack expertly delivered on its premise, and 868-Back promises to build upon that success.
868-Back retains the core mechanic of chaining "Progs" to execute complex actions, mirroring real-world programming. However, it introduces an expanded world, revamped Progs, enhanced visuals, and a new soundscape.
Conquering the Digital Landscape
The game's gritty art style and cyberpunk aesthetic are undeniably appealing. Supporting the crowdfunding campaign feels like a worthwhile endeavor, although inherent risks exist in such ventures. While setbacks are always possible, we wholeheartedly wish developer Michael Brough the best of luck in bringing 868-Back to fruition.
