'Hacktag' Available On Steam Early Access - Trailer

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.

The Early Access version of Hacktag allows players to experience the core mechanics of the game both online and locally with a split screen mode. The experience system (with both passive and active skills) and some customization options are also already implemented. This first released version features 9 playable levels and the studio has plans to add more maps on a weekly basis. In the future, players can expect an upgrade to an infinity of levels thanks to a level generation system based on their feedback. The fans will be able to contribute to the final phase of the game’s development to really make a difference.

“Hacktag is an original concept with a challenging asymetrical gameplay which requires thorough testing and iteration. We’re counting on players feedback through suggestions and surveys during the early access to go even further with the game.” said Marine Lemaitre, Piece of Cake Studios co-founder.

Hacktag is now available on Steam Early Access for the reduced price of $14,99 with a 25% weekly launch discount off.
