Oct 14, 2014Hack 'n' Slash teaches everybody with the marvelous art of coding, with funny mechanics and a cute setting. We only wish that Double Fine had some more time to polish it a bit more.

Sep 16, 2014The team at Double Fine have succeeded in creating a truly unique game, and I can guarantee you haven’t played anything like this before, but it’s tempered by the ever-present sense that it could’ve done with just a little more time in the oven.

Oct 19, 2014Hack ‘n’ Slash is not an introduction to programming; if you’re a dummy, you’d better off playing the old classic Roboforge. But, if you do code, this game will make you ecstatic. Unlike Scribblenauts, where you being god removed all the challenge from the game, in Hack ‘n’ Slash you don’t have to invent your own adventures – the developers will keep you occupied.

Sep 15, 2014A brilliant concept resulting in a game that is only limited by the sheer demand it puts on the player. Lacking tutorials or guidance of any sort, Hack 'N' Slash will delight hacking enthusiasts and students of computer science to no end, whilst at the same time utterly terrifying and mystifying anyone looking for the trademark easy good times associated with the Double Fine logo. This is a unique gateway into the world of figuring out what makes video games tick and the presentation is absolutely wonderful but only the most dedicated, hardcore, ingenious players will manage to see it through to it's end. Easily one of the hardest games of the past five years, Hack 'N' Slash is blessed and cursed by it's own unique design concept.

Feb 10, 2015Hack'n Slash is a true homage to classic RPG, but in a very special way, letting us to play with the game not with the sword, but with our hacking skills. An original idea hampered by a poor technical side.

Sep 23, 2014Hack'n'Slash comes from a great idea, but in the end to re-program a game is not as entertaining as playing one.
-
Sep 29, 2014A wonderful idea, with lovely dialogue, a clever coding system, and some cute puzzles, but unfortunately it clearly couldn't be given as much time as the idea deserved.
