Poor Gamedesign

The problem is that the success of a running process ist always dependend of rng. This makes upgrading the apps nearly useless. Another thing is the small playerbase which makes it in the late game way to hard to earn crypto because you get robbed around 2 times in 10 Minutes. The idea of the game is cool but the execution is poor

Devs delete reviews, Game is easily hacked

Every single day theres someone thats exploited the game. Apparently anyone can hack this game for real and the devs praise it over the people who actually try and play the game. They banned 1400 people at once and changed their terms of service to basically screw people out of refunds.

Response from developer

Hi. Apple does not give us the ability to delete reviews. They keep/remove reviews based off their own voting/algos. We have not banned nowhere near close to the number you mentioned and we absolutely do not praise players who have hacked the game. We've worked hard to fix issues and exploits and reduced those issue greatly over the weeks. Many players have reached out and been very helpful in finding bugs while others just falsely accuse. We try to listen to those willing to be helpful.

Honest

Honestly it’s a good game and I enjoy it. Only thing I dislike is the times it takes to install things on devices like spam etc. community is awesome and one of the best communities i have ever been in.
If it wasn’t for the wait times I would give this game a 5 star no questions asked.

Its amazing!

Wow, I'm thrilled , a really successful second
part. You can really see how much time, work and love have flowed into the game. Keep up the good work, that's perfect.

Fun game but risky if you spend money

I really enjoyed Hack Ex 2. The hacking concept is unique and addictive, and I spent a lot of time grinding for XP and trying to climb the leaderboards. I even spent around $100 on in-app purchases over the past month because I was having fun with it.
Unfortunately, my account was permanently banned. I was initially told it was related to receiving exploited crypto from another player (along with about 20 other players who interacted with the same accounts). After appealing, support later said their logs showed automated activity and made the ban final. I don’t use bots or scripts — I played manually for long sessions (often 4+ hours straight into the night) because my goal was to reach the top of the all-time leaderboards.
The most frustrating part was the mixed communication. I received an offer during the review process that was later walked back. Once the ban was final, there wasn’t much room for further discussion.
If you enjoy the gameplay, it’s genuinely fun. Just be aware that spending real money comes with risk if your account ever gets flagged, even if you believe it was a mistake. I lost access to everything I purchased.

Such an upgrade

The sequel to one of the best mobile games. I loved the first one, and somehow they managed to make it even better!! New items, new systems, new everything, but somehow manages to keep it super familiar. I started playing a little late, but had no issues catching up. It is a grind, but that’s my type of game.

Email switching

I created my account through "sign in with google" option. Now I use a different email and I can't change the email that I made the account with. So all of my progress is locked behind an email when the game says I can "change" it, but you can't. Please fix this and add a switch email option for users who created their account with "sign in with google". Please.

The only mobile game I play anymore

This game started as a fun hobby, but it’s become so much more. I play it every day, and login every 12 minutes to steal from everyone else’s wallets at maximum efficiency. I hang up phone calls from my dad because I’m in the middle of refreshing my spam botnet. My roommate disappeared a week ago, and someone is banging on my door yelling at me about rent but I’ve managed to tune it out and barricade the door. I will not be interrupted while playing this game. I turned Do Not Disturb when my phone started blowing up after my mom died. Even from the grave she tries to pull me away from this heavenly experience. Funerals are for plebs. Download this game so I can put level 20 spam on your device.

Eh

It's okay, not as good as the first one.

want to call it good so bad

the pvp is already way past the point that anyone new could start and not get absolutely destroyed. the app has been up for what, a month? maybe two? this game is unplayable if anyone with a higher level decides to target you. there need to be protections for lower level accounts.

it’s fun, it’s just not worth how seriously the user base seems to take it.

Exceptional Sequel

Better than the first, for sure. Solves all of the obnoxious details which made it difficult to want to continue too long. Also, having a sequel means fresh players and fresh loot. So far no issues.

Disappointed

I’ve played the original game for years! Now I go to play the sequel and I can’t get past the tutorial! Whenever I hack an enemy I get the tutorial pop up and I can’t interact with it at all, so I’m hard locked! I want to play so bad but can’t!

Response from developer

Hi we apologize for this we've released a fix in v1.4.1 currently waiting to be approved in the app store. Until then, a workaround so you can proceed with a hack, is to close out the app completely, reopen and go to My Device in the game, scroll down to Guide/Help and click the Reset Tooltips button. Then when you see the first tip again on the home screen, click to skip it and that will disable the tips.

Perfect V2!!

I played the first game and enjoyed it pretty much! The new one is waaaay better with a fresh design and nice functions but still remembers of the old one! Keep up the work!

Exceeded expectations

I’ve been playing this since the original game came out and my excitement for the new one was insurmountable. I love all the new additions (like new software and more hardware progression), the cleaner and more intuitive UI, and the crew feature!
Such an amazing game that is so underhyped <3

Dynamic Game!

This game has a learning curve, but is very rewarding. A long term strategy game. The rules are the same, but the feel changes as you progress and as more people join the game. Super cool to be a part of this from the beginning.

Exceptional Sequel

Better than the first, for sure. Solves all of the obnoxious details which made it difficult to want to continue too long. Also, having a sequel means fresh players and fresh loot. So far no issues.

Love it!

I love this second game! Just like the first one but better. Wish there was a clear log button instead of manually clearing out but still good! Thank You!!

Great sequel!

It's finally back so much fun!
