About the Game

In Nightfall Hacker, you’re a freelance “white hat” hacker - accepting jobs, winning hacking battles against rogue software, and using your earnings to buy upgraded programs to face even stronger enemies! Along the way, you discover that some companies are struggling against an adversary - AKA black hat hackers. On a 2D grid, you’ll need to plan your programs’ actions strategically. One wrong move and the malicious software wins.

Features

  • Hacking with simple, straightforward rules.
  • More than 100 levels to get through.
  • Nerve-wracking turn-based battles.
  • Includes a custom level editor.
  • Two single-player campaigns.
