About This Game

Story

In Hacking for Hermann you are looking for your brother Hermann who has been working for the tech company Electrotainment Enterprises. Hermann has developed a new type of neural technology that was supposed to secure the company's supremacy in virtual space, but something went horribly wrong. Your brother vanished half a year ago and the corrupt security forces closed the case without finding anything.

It's up to you to find your brother. Enter the virtual world, hack into the highly secured corporate servers and get to the bottom of the dark conspiracy surrounding the Hodur Project. Hermann's fate is in your hands.

Features

Program your AIs
The Cyberspace is managed and defended by intelligent program units. Damage to this vulnerable ecosystem will be severely penalized. But only illegal hacks can lead you on a trail to your brother. Are your AIs programmed well enough to break through the enemy firewalls?
Beginner-Friendly Programming Language
Programming is fun! The graphical programming language in Hacking for Hermann was designed to let you experience just that. Even for novice programmers, this language is easy to understand. Use various blocks of code, loops and logical branching to realize your strategy for battle.
Varied Fights
Defeat enemy program units with your AIs. Various battle arenas, shields, barriers and types of attacks challenge you time and time again. Can you adapt your strategy to the situation and expand your code accordingly?
Campaign
Find and rescue your brother Hermann in the 3-4 hour campaign. Fight your way through perfectly coordinated levels and break into the file systems of the corporations. Put the pieces of the puzzle together to solve Hermann's disappearance and unravel a dystopian mystery.
Rogue-Like Challenge Mode
Put your skills to the test in randomly generated levels. Win medals in four different game modes and three different difficulty levels and unlock extra content. Plan strategically to collect as many points as possible before you run out of resources.

Hacking for Hermann is a fun turn-based puzzle game. The campaign can be finished within two hours but the main attraction is the endless mode. There you can unlock stronger coding blocks/items/AIs so I'd put this game into the rogue-lite subgenre. Overall I recommend this game for anyone interested in learning some programming basics or loving visual programming (like Scratch).

Really nice game that is much deeper than it looks. Very satisfying RPG element where you up your stats by gathering better components. Good strategy and balancing which makes you thing a bit and plan your attack. The start is a bit daunting, but you soon get into the swing of it. Active solo developer, happy to continue working on the game.

Unplayable. Couldn't even make it through the tutorial. The clincher was when the tutorial said "your AI should definitely be able to make it through the first firewall, it's just there to illustrate..." Many tries exhaustively exploring every possible way; never did make it through the first firewall. I decided to skip the tutorial and try the game itself and the same happened again. Unplayable game: avoid!
