868-Hack is 868-Back with new sequel currently crowdfunding for release
The cult-classic mobile game, 868-Hack, renowned for its immersive cyberpunk hacking experience, is set to make a comeback. A crowdfunding campaign has been launched for its sequel, 868-Back, promising to reignite the thrill of digital dungeon crawling in a roguelike format.
Cyber warfare often falls short of the cinematic allure seen in films like Hackers, where characters effortlessly navigate networks while engaging in witty banter. Yet, 868-Hack successfully captures the essence of hacking, much like the PC classic Uplink, making complex programming and information warfare both accessible and challenging. Upon its initial release, 868-Hack was praised for its innovative approach to the genre.
868-Back builds on the original's foundation, allowing players to craft intricate sequences of actions using Progs, akin to real-life programming. This sequel expands the game's universe, introducing revamped Progs, along with new rewards, enhanced graphics, and updated soundscapes.
With its gritty, cyberpunk aesthetic, 868-Hack has always had a unique charm. Supporting the crowdfunding campaign for 868-Back is a way to help bring this vision to life, though it's important to acknowledge the inherent risks of crowdfunding. Despite potential challenges, the excitement for 868-Back remains high, and we extend our best wishes to Michael Brough in his endeavor to bring this sequel to fruition.
