We've been looking forward to spending more time with Double Fine's upcoming Hack 'n' Slash, and the wait is nearly over. The company says it's coming soon to Steam Early Access, and they've released a retro-style trailer to mark the occasion.
Fans of the original Legend of Zelda ads might recognize the video's general tone, but the gameplay is decidedly more contemporary. We got to check it out recently, and it's a great concept: Players explore an adventure game while "hacking" into the code and manipulating the way it's played. For instance, in the screen above, our hero could be changing the behavior of an enemy to keep it rooted to the ground while being attacked. It's a clever idea, and we can't wait to see more of it in action.
The game will be available for $14.99 on PC, Mac, and Linux in the coming weeks.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
