Double Fine To Release Hack n Slash

Hack n Slash started as one of 23 prototype games released in the latest of Double Fine’s famous Amnesia Fortnights, where team members get to pitch new game ideas. It was one of 5 prototypes sold as part of a humble bundle. The public reaction was so great it is now in development and slated for an early to mid 2014 release.

Hack n' Slash is an action adventure game focused on exploration and discovery, not just of its charming fantasy world, but also its internal workings. Based on my childhood experiences hacking on games in emulators to discover new things (and break others), Hack 'n' Slash is a world of puzzle dungeons based on progressively more sophisticated cheating, hacking, and reverse engineering techniques. Instead of a sword, you get a laptop, searching for and building software to help you dismantle and rebuild the world around you.
