    The game's story is minimal and largely conveyed through emails, with players noting a lack of depth and engagement.

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant graphical glitches and a minimalist aesthetic that detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the low system requirements and find the world map visually appealing, the simplistic 2D vector art and lack of substantial graphical options leave much to be desired for PC gamers accustomed to higher-quality visuals. Overall, the graphics are considered mediocre and fail to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Neat early game, I like the aesthetic and it also reminds me of Uplink.”
    • “There was no lagging in the game whatsoever, even with the amazing graphics.”
    • “This is a fairly short game with an interesting idea and great graphics.”
    • “Was glad to see low system requirements, but immediately disappointed upon loading by very obvious graphical glitches.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
  • gameplay13 mentions

    The gameplay is centered around attacking cities, hacking, and resource collection, which can be enjoyable for its low price but lacks replayability and depth. Players find the mechanics simplistic, often reduced to comparing numbers under time pressure, with minimal progression and no engaging story or immersive elements. Overall, while there is potential for varied gameplay, it ultimately feels shallow and unchallenging.

    • “Gameplay revolves around choosing a city to attack, hacking it, then collecting the resources, doing some upgrades, and rolling on to the next mission.”
    • “Cyber attack shows great potential with easy controls and varied gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay needs a story, in-depth interaction, and actually seeing a change in the world based on the actions made would really give the game some life.”
    • “The gameplay is literally to compare the numbers on blue dots and click on the biggest of them under time pressure.”
    • “No story, no real upgrades, no interesting gameplay, no tutorial, no immersive feeling, no pseudo hacking as in 'hack_me' or 'hacknet'.”
    • “There's very little actual gameplay and virtually no challenge.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    The game is considered fun and affordable, but it suffers from low replayability due to its repetitive gameplay and lack of additional content. Many users find that the experience does not change significantly with repeated playthroughs, limiting its long-term appeal.

    • “Very fun game for how cheap it is, but not very replayable since it's the same gameplay each time with not much else to do. For $7, it's pretty good.”
    • “Super basic mini game that has not much replay value and is way too repetitive.”
    • “Absolutely no replayability.”
  • music3 mentions

    The music in the game consists of only 3 or 4 tracks, which, while not terrible, quickly become repetitive and annoying over time.

    • “The music in the game is enjoyable, adding a nice touch to the overall experience.”
    • “While there are only a few tracks, they contribute positively to the game's atmosphere.”
    • “The soundtracks, though limited, have a certain charm that enhances the gameplay.”
    • “There are only 3 or 4 songs that play throughout the entire game, but they're not horrible.”
    • “I mentioned the music as a pro, but those 3 tracks became pretty annoying in the hour I played.”

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It's really lame, and I spent the latter half of the game mindlessly grinding these portions out just to wrap things up (and I only played an hour!).”
