Pay to Win

Devs updated the way the Proxy works and now the games completely pay to win if you can afford shields

Good fun. 9/10

Hack times feel ok, incentivizes using oc. Good equipment progression. Gets repetitive… bun in a fun way. Only gripe, I wish I could have automations.

DONT PLAY GAME IS RUINED

Devs allowed actual hackers to keep hacking their game. Now its 1 person playing that immediately starts off with a score of 250,000 after each reset. They do NOTHING to stop this guy from breaking their Terms of Service which got 1400 others banned earlier this year which they wont admit to doing. Even with evidence, him and his entire guild was caught cheating, they let them back in and it got worse. Go check out their discord server youll see everything.

This game is so boring now, we waited 10+ years for the devs to just let some bums ruin it for what?

I bet yall are missing out on a lot of money because of that. I know for sure yall miss me

Eigentlich echt gut und gut durchdacht, aber…

… das Stealth Update ist eine Katastrophe und raubt jeden Spielspaß. Reihenweise gehen die Spieler und das Spiel verkommt zu einem Pay2Win Spiel.

Money hungry changes

Creators of this app must be desperate for money for some reason. They got more players and suddenly they’re pushing things that make the game far more p2w than it has to be. Why should I be pressured to spend money just to keep my fictional money safe for more than 4 hours at a time?? TERRIBLE response with this stealth update. I’ll be canceling my subscription and moving on.

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

Brilliant game but flawed

Great game, loved the first one and this one is also fun however, if you are hacked early game and given high level virus’s you cannot get rid of them until you level up enough, meaning almost half of everything I get is skimmed away and there is nothing I can do about it unless I’m gonna play this game for weeks and weeks to reach the required level to clear these.

Unfun

Especially versus its predecessor

Current updates to stealth

The current update to stealth had to be the dumbest solution to the stealth problem imaginable.

It incentivizes use of premium consumables, making p2w players able to sustain permanent stealth as before while f2p or low spend players simply can not, all while not solving the problem of seeing the same 10 people on scan every scan.

Rather than this solution, they should have implemented a new scanner with a percentage chance to find stealth players. The game otherwise is so great, but this update was not it. Please devs, revert stealth and find another solution, because this was nothing other than a p2w update.

Too many changes, money hungry

So first of all, the game was fun. WAS. You struggle at first but after weeks of putting in the work, I finally got one of the programs called a proxy and at level 20 proxy, it hides your ip from the scanner so no one can find you anymore. It’s really nice. After WEEKS of playing and struggling with people hacking me constantly, I FINALLY got the proxy level I need and now all the crypto I make is for myself and I’m having fun being in stealth mode. However, they just released an announcement that all my work is for absolutely nothing. I even bought the elite pass, which gives you extra stuff every month. They are now changing the proxy that after using 1 hour of proxy, it takes 2 hours to recharge with NO PROXY at all, which means I have to go back to being hacked all the time and all that work I did to stay hidden was for absolutely nothing. I will be removing my elite pass and deleting my account if this announcement goes through. If you’re reading this, the announcement did in fact go through. I will be removing this review if the announcement is cancelled. Honestly, the first hack ex was way better if you want to stay with this company…

Update: they just announced they’re going to continue to push this stupid update about stealth. I have cancelled my monthly subscription and will no longer be playing this game. I spent weeks upgrading everything to be able to have the level 20+ proxy to stay hidden from other players, just for it to be ruined by money hungry developers.

🎧Sound system‼️🔊

Hey dev and game developers🧑‍💻, it’s not needed but I highly recommend a sound system or sound effects🎧 and stuff but if you ever have a chance or ever are in a situation where you don’t know what to add this a a recommendation!😁👍

Fun Game, but hard to stick with

Really fun game, I loved the first one, but it’s really easy to hit a wall and get shut out of progressing. Because of the long wait time for processes to finish, the game can pretty easily become an ad watching simulator if you want to play for more than five minutes. Also, if your wallet keeps getting drained because a bunch of high leveled people hacked you and put viruses on your device that you can’t clear, you’re basically stuck unless you pay for special single use items that clears your device and gives you a new IP, and even then the cycle just starts again after the cool down. It’s a fun game and a great concept but it needs to add tools that lower level players can use to actually protect themselves from getting dogpiled.

So cool!!!

Need MORE OVERCLOCK and add free overclock

Boring!

Doesn’t have the same feel as v1. We should be able to automate things instead of manually doing every action…

Toxic people

There are two or three crews that are so toxic, in game and on discord. I have been targeted with harassment AND hateful “art” in my logs. Yes I have screenshots. I have sent emails, and feedback through the ingame feedback mechanic. I’m tired of being bullied. I have spent legitimate money on this game because I love it so much, have spent hours and hours over the past 76 days. Please do something about it.

Alright, but some issues

Original was better, but this isn’t too bad of a redevelopment.
However the main issue I find when watching ads to skip timer, the close button after the reward granted never works, so you have to force close the app and then when you re-open it, you don’t get the reward anyway.
Fix this please!

WIDGET

I gotta say, I’m glad I got the email that yall made a new version, I’m sooooo diggin it. However, i think I speak for all of us when I say if we could have a widget for the Home Screen it would take things to the next level!

V2, Next Level

When this game originally came out and was an amazing first of a kind app, now version 2 has that same feel taking the gameplay, new features and challenges to the next level! Many new tools and surprises. So much fun to be a pseudo hacker.

Could be a lot better

with some work you guys might actually improve the game i recommend listening to user input and engaging with your community

Not great

Sadly, the design, direction, charm and everything that made the original Hack Ex so good is no where to be found. Which wouldn’t be a big deal if the replacement was decent, but it’s not. It’s a boring, sloppy AI put together game with no soul at all. I got really excited when I got an email saying this game was out as I loved the original and always wondered if they’d make another. Sadly, I wish they didn’t. Real shame
