Holding it back
Reviews67% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$1.72/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds5 of 131 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

About the game

Hacktag is a fast-paced two-player co-op stealth-game with unique asymmetric gameplay. Play as the stealth Agent in the field or as the virtually-infiltrated Hacker and work together to carry out espionage missions where nothing goes as expected!

The value story

76 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 73 percent. Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine ($14.99, scores 83) outscores it, and so does Streets of Rogue ($19.99, scores 90). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

A friend and I decided to try out the game, after playing a game of somewhat similar make: Clandestine. Now to not waste time, would I recommend it? No. The movement felt off, the hacker was sometimes locked into moving forwards, unable to reverse (but at times fully able to turn 180). The protected door was sometimes a click, sometimes a hold which made it easy to "fail a hack" if you just tapped it. Moving while...

Great idea but unfortunately gets repetitive really fast. Nothing really changes after few hours and story is bland. For the spy controls work great but hacker has hard time now and then when navigating through nodes.

Fun co-op game. If you have a reliable partner to play this with, you will have a ton of fun. Game looks convincing with a cartoony / cell shaded estetic. Runs easy on weaker machines, all in all, recommended.
