Set in 2029 in a parallel world populated by cute, anthropomorphic animals, Hacktag is a fast-paced two-player co-op stealth-game with asymmetric gameplay. One player is an Agent in the field while the other is a virtually-infiltrated Hacker. Hired as mercenaries by competing corporations, the two players work together to carry out espionage missions via online or local co-op—or in solo mode, one player switches between the two roles, which is probably not half as fun.
This co-op stealth title from piece of cake studios demands cooperation, since each player has a completely different set of skills. The Agent moves physically throughout the level while the Hacker moves alongside electronically via network nodes. While the Agent avoids physical guards, the Hacker avoids anti-virus software moving through the network, with both players seeking to hack computers to steal the data required for mission success. While some tasks can be accomplished by either player, many tasks require the cooperation of both, like having the Hacker electronically unlock a door, so the Agent can physically open it.
“We’ve been working night and day to get Hacktag ready to bring co-op stealth to PC players who like to play together,” said Marine Lemaitre Freland, Co-Founder and CEO of Piece of Cake Studios. “Feedback from our community has been tremendous and we’ve added new modes and features to make the game even more fun while keeping its subversive nature front and center.”
Hacktag will receive a 25% launch discount, making the title $15 at launch.
