It’s like they only want you on the game 10-15mins at a time unless you spend money to speed things up. Even then some programs take 300+ credits just to complete. I like the game but the time and money isn’t coo ### 4/5 — Love the game *2025-10-14, version 1.210* Everything about this I love, only thing I wish the developers would do is to update the app. New content/features and updated visuals would be nice! ### 2/5 — Outdated *2025-09-11, version 1.210* I’ve been playing this since it came out. Stopped for a while. Now I’m back. It’s still as good as it started. I just wished they updated it or at least show the developers are still active. Can’t sync it to Facebook and I know it’s been like that for a while. ### 3/5 — Slow learnin *2025-08-26, version 1.210* But fun slowly learning and upgrading ### 2/5 — The idea is okay I guess *2025-08-13, version 1.210* To start with, I’m an IT professional with over a decade of experience and I’m pivoting to Cybersecurity/Red Teaming and Ethical Hacking. The concept of having two gateways kind of bothers me but I understand why it’s implemented. For players like myself I wish there were an offline mode and more missions. This would allow a deeper understanding of the tools and better topology design. Lastly, if you guys were to implement an offline mode and, create NPCs that hack as well. ### 3/5 — An outdated by gone era *2025-06-11, version 1.210* The game is cool, unique, the sound effect is very good. But the gameplay is outdated, most featute/function no longer work. Can’t connect to facebook to save game. Can’t give email to earn 250 credit, the game reset when I press “sure”. There are no quality of life update like overflow army, so after each attack, you have to re-train your army. It’s quite tedious to do it every single time. There is no presave army either. ### 5/5 — Игра лучшая *2025-04-02, version 1.210* Игра топчик пушка. Особенно круто визуальное изменение узлов ### 5/5 — Cool Game *2025-02-10* Neat concept for a game, it features a lot of lingo and concepts centred around the theme of hacking. While it doesn’t delve very far into the real world space of hacking software, it’s a great bit of fun and quite easy to pick up by casual players. ### 5/5 — Most addicting game ever *2025-01-16, version 1.210* I used to play this game at every chance I got. I’m hoping the developers can have a remake so it can be relevant again. ### 5/5 — W *2024-12-24, version 1.210* aws :3 :} :] ### 3/5 — Bom *2024-11-22* Falta atualizações **Developer response:** Hi. Facebook connections are no longer supported as of January 2022! If your network was solely connected to Facebook and you didn't manage to connect your network to us via iOS (as detailed in our in-game news warning regarding this,) please contact our support team with your network details and we'll provide you with the necessary information to get you reconnected! ### 4/5 — Good *2024-11-14* Cuando jugué por primera ves pensé que iba a ser un juego normal pero lo gráficos me encantaron luego haré un comprar chau. A si como que de debo de poner mi email y no sirvio?? Intento lo de nuevo no sé si soy yo ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu, manque de mises a jour *2024-10-28* ce jeu est vraiment super, malheureusement il manque de mises à jour depuis des années, qui le rendrait encore meilleur malgré cela il reste quand même un certain nombre de joueurs, ce qui ne pose pas de problème pour jouer ### 5/5 — Honestly a good game *2024-10-11, version 1.210* The game honestly really fun and make sure to not skip the tutorial because it actually really important. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Tremendo juego *2024-10-01* Juego muy recomendable y entretenido, pero no para jugar a full-time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need update *2026-05-17* Please update this game with new features to make it still relevant in new era, otherwise we would lose this game forever ### 1/5 — Game with no edit or restructure button. *2025-05-28* How could people play such strategy game with no edit mode ?? ### 1/5 — NÃO CONECTA *2025-05-25* Joguei uma vez e o app não conecta mais na internet, só fica com o logo wi-fi e não sai disso. Horrível. ### 1/5 — Sigh *2025-03-05, version 1.210* Got locked out of my account and cannot log back in. Asked for help on Reddit and got no response. Can’t log back in through Facebook. Tried to make a new account and it wouldn’t let me bind either of my emails for the extra 250 credits. Put a random email in and it worked but… I can’t get the credits and there’s no way to re-do it. Guess I’ll just give up. Quite unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Keine Ahnung *2025-02-12* Habe das Spiel Jahre gespielt, war ziemlich weit, hatte die goldene Verbindung und alles - plötzlich kommt beim starten nur ein WLAN Symbol. Versuche es jetzt knapp 3 Monate - App gelöscht, neu installiert, alles mögliche - mein Spielspand ist weg + Spiel lässt sich nicht mal starten. Schade um das Geld ### 1/5 — Fake Game. Takes to long. Fake Reviews. *2024-08-11, version 1.210* First of all, look at the names of the reviews on this game, these are Apple accounts, why is almost every name a gamer tag. Again these are meant to be apple accounts leaving reviews not gamer accounts. I don't believe them as the only reviews that read as genuine are the only one getting a response from the developer. How funny. I rate this game 1 star as the game takes so long to upgrade components its basically not possible to 100% complete within 12-24months after the game is nearly a third complete it takes weeks per upgrade and there's 21 upgrades per component, that I lose interest altogether, feel frustrated as there's nothing to do in the down time. And I mean nothing. This game is basically a scam and some reviews ask for a PC version LMAO. You open the game and see you can't do anything so have to close the game and do something else. That's not a game. It's an addiction machine. In addition to the time abuse the game partakes in it is littered with micro pay pressure points to speed it up but not by much as you can spend £100 and it'll still take over a year to complete. most of that time you'll be doing nothing but waiting. I wouldn't recommend the download to anyone. This game is hacking you to pay up. I wish I didn't download this game. ### 1/5 — Update???? *2024-06-30* This game needs some refreshing!! 3 years and no updates or improvements of any kind🤨??? Why not give/award like 10 credits when a special mission is successfully completed. How about adding some new type of programs; you have long enough building wait times, for crying out loud freshen the game play; it’s getting a little boring .. This hasn’t been updated for more than 3 years?!?!?! Game is good, but the offline vulnerability is ridiculous! Getting to truly advanced stages and wins is near impossible unless you want to fork over money to buy the proper upgrades for that, and then what? Prob nothing. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-06-14, version 1.210* They leave cus messages ### 1/5 — Không thể chơi game *2024-05-13, version 1.210* Bị chặn không thể đăng nhập ### 1/5 — Facebook *2024-05-05, version 1.210* I can’t login with my Facebook account. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A slow burn... *2026-07-07* A very big fan of this game, the intro is fairly in depth but is well paced as it explains the basics of the game mechanics to you. It goes through a large number of different hacking tactics and leaves the player to design their own security network, which is fully customisable. As you progress through the game it gets significantly longer to upgrade your system but the slow burn and constant levelling increases make it well worth it. I’m now at the point where an upgrade takes five days and I couldn’t be happier! ### 5/5 — Great game creative hacking game *2026-06-29* The game ain’t based towards real hacking or information learning or based towards reality but is a fun hacking simulation with the base of the game built towards creating an empire and having fun but I think relating the game towards reality and involving scenarios where you learn or incorporate an activity or parts of your application to involve information learning or guessing maybe a question were you have to out guess or guess correctly to receive a reward or attack benefit maybe currency time deduction attacking other bases cause incorporating knowledge based on your games intentions allows the user to interact and fall into a emotional or cons attachment for the added experience gained cause taking experience from entertaining hobbies imprints and helps in ingraining repetitiveness to a hobbie or app tool ritual whatever is the provided experience is you will ingrained to do more I love this game and wold love to work with your company how could I contact you ### 5/5 — Please come back *2026-06-10, version 1.210* Love this game wish it had more updates ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-05-27, version 1.210* PXI-RFD-TJI-CS:Rakkia(rehab)-951//605//7636//call//me//for//mods ### 5/5 — Som *2026-04-18* Sem som app travando!!!! ### 5/5 — Just why? *2026-03-22* Very good game just please remove the time for making the hacking thingys ### 5/5 — Whoa *2025-10-18, version 1.210* This game is pretty fun especially because It’s has strategy but you have to wait for things but overall great. ### 5/5 — Личное мнение *2025-09-20, version 1.210* Игруха топ играю не первый день всем советую попробовать ### 5/5 — No sound! *2025-08-26, version 1.210* Three hours in, all the sound disappeared. It’s not other games because they were just fine. It’s not my other apps because YouTube and everything else works just fine. It’s just Hackers. And there’s nothing provided on the main screen or anywhere else to tell you how to fix it. ### 5/5 — TRUE GENIUS *2025-04-23, version 1.210* Man, I tell you the truth. I can’t stop playing. I’m a noob just got started with school in cybersecurity and found this game and another one. Man, I love it. It’s teaching me just like the mentor I need so badly. This will suffice for now.
