  Uplink did a better job being a game about hacking computers. This is all just clicking on stuff and not actually thinking. It's also buggy as hell (the main interface randomly disappears). Avoid!

  I've bought this game years ago driven by curiosity, to find out what it takes to be one of the most hated kind of people in the virtual world. Well, i've gained zero knowledge thanks to the gods, and uselessness of this product. To explain myself politely, this is not a game, but a mental warfare without the cold trace of fun. The music itself doesn't match with my style, some electronic stuff, tastes are so different between peoples, so i can't rate it but acceptable enough. The game itself lacks of game elements, we have 7 "maps" total, (which are nothing more but a desktop-like picture with a few dots named as servers) there are some crazy time limited memory games and thats all. You have to count down numbers in a box from 63 to 0 while enemy servers attacking you (rofl), and there is another component of the game which is totally the same... I was in hope for a patch which adds some more features/maps or something to the game, but no, everything remained the same. Even the Vsync bug, which makes the HUD buttons disappear after each match, because the game have no graphics options and you have to mess with your own video card to play the game. There are random crashes and i've also lost my profile with my savegames and achievement progresses because for some reason, no idea how. And what is the most surprising, perhaps the price, you still have to pay 20€ for this headache after years! If i truly regret wasting money on a product, well this is it. The honest price shall be around 0,5€, so try to find something else about this genre, go away and don't look back, avoid to get robbed. I don't like to downvote games, because it is basically a waste of time, but this must be serve as warning to all, to forget this game. Like what i try to do.

  Basically the same level of gameplay as a free flash game. If you want a fun Hollywood-style hacking sim, ignore this one and grab Uplink instead.

  All the buttons are missing at the bottom on the screen. Unplayable literally a huge was of money. This bug has been known for years yet developer doesn't fix.

  I bought this game really cheap, but free is the only fair price for it. It is really bad. First of all it starts on my second display which is my TV, took a while to realize it. Second, there is a bug where you can't read messages (gives some file not found error), apparently the dev knows about this since Jan or Feb or something and it still isn't fixed. There's a dude that posted some workaround with converting mp3 files to ogg and changing some text files around to make it work, this way you can actually read mission objectives. The game it is kind of crap, it is not very intuitive what you need to do, in fact in the tutorial the AI hacked me down to 0 firewall and 0 integrity and I had no idea what would I need to do to counter it. Don't be mistaken by the name the game has nothing to do with actual hacking or IT skills, it's just a theme, so it's not about me not knowing what a computer is (I do, working since 15 years in IT). I know now it's a rather old game and it's not a big financial loss to try it, but if I knew what I know now I wouldn't have paid even 1 euro for it. Angry birds is more fun and an actual game that works compared to this (I don't play angry birds, never undestood the fascination, it's a really stupid game).

  [h1] This game is a mess. [/h1] The screenshots are complete lies, the only "hacking" you will ever see in this game is a picture of a map, some dissapearing red blocks, and the game over screen. Yes, this game is [b] impossible [/b]. There are no tutorials or even a basic explanation of the rules or how to play. It was clear that this game was rushed and almost no effort went into it. I realy wish this game was good ant that's why I bought it. Don't make the same mistake I made. [b] DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! [/b] 8/10 IGN "Best game ever made"

  I wanted to give my opinions on why Hacker Duality has so many negative reviews. I personally like the game and appreciate it for what it is. Clearly the developers wanted to try something new. Let's face it the Hacker Evolution formula is rather old and hasn't changed at all really since the very first classic Hacker game. I believe HED simply just didn't find a demographic to market to and that one of any significant size doesn't exist at all. Yes, whether a game is good or bad is subjective and as a result to rate a game good or bad relies on an average consensus. I believe HED is a rare instance where the conensus is wrong and I will explain why. HED was marketed toward hacking game enthusiasts and considering the fan following exosyphen had already most buyers of HED would have to be fans of previous HE games. They probably expected a game that was at least similar in gameplay to previous HE games. HED is not. It is a hacking game, yes, but it is so vastly different from previous entries that it caused dissapointment for the vast majority of buyers. It doesn't help that HED is much more complicated in scope compared to previous Hacker games. This also would of scared away anyone new to the genre. With that being said, I find the game to be highly rewarding once you understand it. Is the game hard? Sure, but that's ok because it is fast. In game theory there is this thing called balance which is important. Take Super Meat Boy and maybe Dark Souls for example. Most people would be put off from a game that has you dying over and over again but it's ok as long as there is something else that balances those failures. Super Meat Boy has short levels and fast level restarts. Dark Souls balances with rewards. HED balances with smooth, fast missions. IS HED fun? It is for me. I enjoy it. It is challenging but not impossible. I appreciate the new GUI interfaces while keeping still keeping consle commands(by the way, if you can't complete the Hacker Bootcamp, you overlooked the console). At first I was not so crazy about the mini games but then I realized if I had a choice between waiting minutes doing nothing for a password to crack or playing a minigame that brought much faster results, which would I rather? The mini games take away any boring downtime. You are never waiting for any significant length of time for anything to finish. You are constantly engaged and time is of the essence. Knowing you need to keep moving provides a rush. You need to make quick decisions. HED isn''t just a hacker game; it is a hacker game, a puzzle game and a strategy game all in one. I "know" it is fun. Either I am right or I am crazy. I believe the developers knew it was fun before they released it and simply marketed it to the wrong people.

  I first played this when i came out show this should show my own age the game being over a decade old and for its time is was very fun but after being in cyber security and other fields of IT i look back. Games like these among movies like hackers from the 90s/00s made me want to enter the field of IT no matter how silly they actual where once i learned it still sparked my interest now i do what i love in 2018. Either way a game is meant to be fun overly realistic or not but cyber security is not easy to make into a game due to complexity and still keep a large audience. I disagree strongly because most games can't add everything even newer games would you like your games player base limited to programmers and cyber security professionals that or a wide audience that would spark the next generation of IT students? i would choose the grey area of both because if you have to write a python script or better yet C then compile it just to play the game would be insanity. You guys done an amazing job and sparked my interest to further my IT career when i was a kid and i am still loving technology to this day and teaching my fiancee soon to be wife more about it. The first thing i used on a computer was ctrl alt delete to bring up task manager when i was about 6 years old i was being taught by my mother that has 3 college degrees now and my fiancee that has one degree. Never stop learning because knowledge truely is power.

  Uplink, the 12-year old "hacking simulator", is possibly the finest game of its type yet created. But it is definitely showing its age and I'm not averse to trying something new. On the face of it, Hacker Evolution Duality looks to be an excellent successor to that beloved classic. But first appearances are frequently misleading. Hacker is not a game; it is a collection of dull and fiddly mini-games. While it has an excellent presentation, the gameplay itself is nothing more than pushing a button at the right time; an uninteresting race against the clock that you need to repeat dozens of times in each mission. It looks great - it has the appearance of Hollywood hacking nailed - but it quickly degenerates into uninteresting repetitiveness. And just to make things even less fun, the controls were stiff and unresponsive; just the thing for a game that demands quick reflexes. Despite its stylish gloss, the game fails to engage on almost every other levels and ultimately is not particularly fun.
