Description
Hack 'n' Slash is a game by programmers about programming, and if you're not interested or experienced with the subject it will eventually leave you behind. It looks and controls like Zelda, but unfolds more like a point-and-click adventure game, asking you to use a variety of items to solve puzzles. The twist is that you're able to hack various objects in the game and manipulate them in order to find a solution.
It starts with a simple door. Rather than pick the lock or find a key, I only needed to hit it with my USB sword and switch it to the 'open' state. Things ramp up quickly though, and soon I'm hacking a nest of turtle eggs, fiddling with their spawning speeds and reconfiguring their behavior routines to defeat a boss. Rather than attacking me, I reprogrammed them to turn, run right into the the giant evil turtle, and explode on impact.
Hack 'n' Slash's first half is a well-paced series of surprising discoveries.
