868-Hack is 868-Back with new sequel currently crowdfunding for release

Author : Harper Feb 21,2025

The cult-classic mobile game, 868-Hack, is poised for a comeback with a crowdfunding campaign for its sequel, 868-Back. This roguelike digital dungeon crawler promises to deliver the thrilling experience of hacking cyberpunk mainframes.

While cyber warfare often falls short of its cinematic portrayals, 868-Hack successfully captures the essence of hacking. Similar to the acclaimed PC game Uplink, it masterfully balances simplicity and challenge in its programming and information warfare mechanics. The original game effectively delivered on its premise, and 868-Back aims to build upon that success.

868-Back retains the core gameplay of its predecessor, allowing players to chain together "Progs" to execute complex actions, mirroring real-world programming. However, the sequel introduces an expanded world, revamped Progs, enhanced graphics, improved sound design, and new rewards.

A Cyberpunk Hacking Adventure

868-Hack's gritty art style and cyberpunk aesthetic are undeniably appealing. Supporting its crowdfunding campaign feels like a worthwhile endeavor, although inherent risks are always present in such projects. While setbacks are possible, we wholeheartedly wish developer Michael Brough the best of luck in bringing 868-Back to fruition. We eagerly anticipate the return of this unique and engaging hacking experience.
