An amazing port of the classic Net Hack game with updated graphics and controls. Love this game, a must for any fan of dungeon crawlers or RPG games!

A faithful fork of the OG Net hack with updated graphics joining the hall of goated traditional rogue likes, like Pathos: Net hack Codex and Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup...
★★★★☆Matthew M· Nov 29, 2024
This is a fun net hack variant with some nice touches, like graphics, animations and voice acting. There's great potential here. Overall I still prefer the Pathos net hack variant because it has more user-friendly and efficient mechanics and interface and much, much more variety (It's less true to the original cuz of that but that's not a bad thing). If and when this game improves along those lines I will go 5 stars and donate money. Still, great job Devs, keep up the good work!

Always hungry. Even if you eat everything. You have to sell items to the right vendor, and they pay you pennies. I sold a gem for 50 gold and buy back is 6000! Everything is stupid expensive in the $1000s except books which teach you how to play. Samurai starts with a dog that abandoned me 3 floors down. Hired a merc for 60 gold and was only 1 floor. I coated my sword in poison. My honor is tainted?!? 90% of items are cursed and curse free scrolls are rare.can't catch a break.

Black Screen Simulator. Game never loads, goes from an icon screen to a black screen and does nothing. Galaxy S21 Plus

Only one thing makes this unplayable for me. I have to click menu, click the crystal ball, click monsters on map, navigate to the creature, select it, then select view more info about creature, in order to see what it does.... really got spoiled by pathos letting me know if eating a creature is bad or being able to hold click to see its info.

Too many unnecessary steps to take anything. I am busy navigating the control to actually play the game. Edit: Rollback seems to be slow paced at anything. If for instance comparing to Pathos, interacting with anything doesn't need to open separate window or page and simply interact with them and the options show what you want to do. Too many layer of options on Rollback for a simple commands. Shattered PD is even faster than both. I know Rollback is more complex, but
