'Hacktag' Coming To Steam Early Access - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 28, 2017 @ 2:31 a.m. PDT

Hacktag is a fast-paced 2-player co-op stealth-game with an asymmetric gameplay.

Play as the stealth-agent on the field or as the virtually-infiltrated Hacker and work together to carry out espionage missions where nothing goes as expected!

In 2029, in a parallel world, you are a mercenary who secretly accomplishes missions for corporations struggling for leadership. To succeed you will have to team-up by 2 and infiltrate corporations simultaneously in two ways : As the stealth agent, infiltrating physically the level with an isometric 3d view and a fast infiltration gameplay with a rewarding arcade feeling. Or as the hacker infiltrating virtually the same level with a holographic blueprint vision. He moves on a virtual network to quickly hack and interact with the cameras, doors, phones or coffee machines…

Each new mission/level is procedurally generated. Split-screen and online modes are both available. While one of the player handles the stealth/infiltration part of the gameplay, the other team member hacks the environment real-time through a series of mini-games to help its fellow agent avoid security guards, unlock doors, trigger alarms and telephones, collect data from computers...etc.

Hacktag will be available through Steam Early Access on May 18th, 2017.

Additionally, Piece of Cake is planning a closed beta scheduled for Thursday May 11 to give fans a free preview of the early access version. Registration is already open and players are invited to sign-up here.

“We’re incredibly happy to bring Hacktag to Steam Early Access for gamers all over the world to experience the original and exciting cooperative gameplay. We’ve already been given a number of industry awards and received a ton of positive feedback and can’t wait to see what others think when it launches into Early Access this May. Creating a perfect 2-player co-op experience that’s both exciting and balanced from two different points of view based on the two class types - hacker and field agent – was very challenging. As big fans of the co-op genre we felt like there was a void we needed to fill in co-op adventure experiences. Gamers, and especially those who live on co-op gameplay, can expect to encounter multiple ways of being entertained in Hacktag.” said Marine Lemaitre, Piece of Cake Studios co-founder.
