A tactical RPG pulling players into its depths for dozens of hours, with 65 reviewers spending over 25 hours already and finding no reason to stop. Its strategic weight and roguelike layers make mastery the talk of the town, overshadowing every other aspect.

What it's about: 868-BACK is a computer-hacking strategy roguelike game where your mission is to dismantle capitalism one server at a time! Use hacking powers to fight enemies, steal the servers' data, and face increasingly nasty situations before being disconnected (again!) by the richest corporations on earth.
