<br>
Space Hack is a sci-fi Action/RPG title with Diablo-inspired gameplay mechanics, presented in real-time 3D graphics.

80 hours of gameplay for $20 isn't a bad deal. I remember thinking the first demo that was released was better than I was expecting.

I agree. With an understanding that it's low budget all the way, it does have the same Diablo addiction. Something that other higher budget games couldn't do.

Stupid communists.

Oh, this is Maximus again? That old demo wasn't so bad. I quite enjoyed that.

Ugh, I thought it was awful. Sword snd xbows in a sci-fi game? Sorry, that just doesn't grab me. There's a reason swords and xbows aren't used today, and I don't think that reason will go away when we have laser/plama weapons.

Well I can understand if the game doesn't "grab you." And I'm not saying it the best game ever (because it's more simplistic then even diablo), but surely your quote can't be the reason. That's like not liking that new Bethsoft game because there are no crossbows. Sure that sucks, but you wouldn't make your decision to play it soley based on that, would you?

Especially when it comes to Crossbows.

What I quite enjoyed was the way the monsters went splat if I recall correctly.
