Hacktag is now available
on Steam,
offering an asymmetrical two-player co-op stealth game where one player is the
infiltrating operator, while the other is the hacker providing off-site
assistance. The
launch
trailer shows off how this works, and the announcement fills in more
details:
In Hacktag, the Agent moves physically through a corporate
building level while the Hacker moves alongside electronically via network
nodes. As the Agent avoids physical guards (watch out for those pandas!), 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—for instance, opening a locked door requires the Hacker to
electronically unlock it while the Agent physically opens it. Other features
include:
- Online and local multiplayer: Play
separately or share the same screen using keyboard/mouse and/or game
controllers
- Single player mode: Simultaneously handle
the dual roles of Agent and Hacker in frantic, fast-paced gameplay
- Original asymmetrical gameplay and co-op
mini-games: With the timer ticking, deactivate alarms and unlock doors
or holding cells
- “Co-opetitive" gameplay: As mercenaries,
your partner is also your best competitor!
- Three corporations, three mission types and 24
levels
- Gain experience and add unlockable skills:
Choose new active or passive skills as you gain levels
- Online challenges, ranking and leaderboards
- Full character creation: Customize your
anthropomorphic animal character with more than 360 unlockable items
- Unique story for each player: Experience
