Space Hack manages to semi-successfully bring the increasingly tired hack-'˜n'-slash genre into the future, and while it makes good use of its sci-fi setting, it sticks far too faithfully to the basics to really stand out from the crowd. Even if you're willing to slog through the initial 5-10 hours until the flawed economic system is no longer an issue, the lack of any real RPG complexity and generally simplistic approach highlights the game's inherent repetition. This isn't to say the game isn't any fun, of course. Once you accept the game for what it is and what it isn't there's some enjoyment to be had from mowing down literally thousands of foes. Space Hack sports an incredibly low price point at many online retailers, and $20 nets you nearly 100 hours of gameplay, though most of those hours will be spent repeating the same actions over and over. Space Hack might be a cost-effective way of getting your fix, but if you haven't already, you're far better off snagging copies of Diablo 2 and Dungeon Siege 2 out of the used games bin.
