The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.19, set in November 2014. It has been discounted 94 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
It is cheaper than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos ($12.99, scores 24) and Dungeons of Edera ($14.99, scores 19) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
63 on Metacritic, 44 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 145 reviews written there were positive, against 44 percent overall, and those are 60 percent of everything written about it.
What players say
Space Hack will always be my childhood game. Despite its flaws, I think the gameplay is still enjoyable and it's one of those games I keep coming back every few years to because of the nostalgia and its atmosphere. I originally started my playthrough on Normal difficulty, but around the middle of the game, once I had a better understanding of the mechanics, I switched to Hard (the highest difficulty) and finished...
I've a lot of memories with this game. My father used to play it non stop and I remember sitting there watching him. So, beating it is my goal. Just like my father did when I was young and this game first released, I feel it is only right that I do this. Its not a perfect game, but I admit it is surprisingly fun, even for how old it is. 10/10 for memories and nostalgia.
What could've been a mediocre but serviceable ARPG becomes completely unplayable once you find out the game has enemy auto-level. Every time you level up, the enemies also get stronger. Killing any sense of progression and turning the game into an unbearable slog.
