Well, quick Uplink review:
It's very fun so far. I was a big fan of the PC version, and it translates pretty well to iOS.
Obviously there's no mod support, so that hurts it a tiny bit, but the base game is pretty entertaining.
There's two downsides -
1- The keyboard is annoying. When you have to type stuff in, it becomes really cumbersome. The bank money transfer missions are going to be a complete pain using this, because time is always of the essence.
2- Tapping on the little arrows to increase CPU allocation to software *really* often turns into me tapping the mini-map, which means I lose time in a hack, which is annoying.
If you don't know what Uplink is, basically it's a "hacker simulation" that is pretty well-done. It feels like you're a "movie hacker" - to hack into a server, all you need to do is hit a software that does password hacking and bam, you're in.
The game plays as such: you're an unknown hacker starting in the business, becoming an Uplink Agent. To get started, you are initially given a gateway computer, stored safely within Uplink's facilities. Your goal is to slowly climb your way up the ladder, performing missions for various unknown corporations around the world.
To do so, you're given a set of tools: software, hardware and gateways. Using software, you'll hack into systems, delete crucial files, copy files for clients, modify criminal/school records, steal money, etc. There's lots of software with many different grades; there's 4 grades of the Log Deleter software, for example. The first one simply deletes a log while leaving a blank spot - this shows that something has happened, but the system's owner doesn't know what. The other grades make your modifications to logs harder and harder to detect, while the grade 4 one makes it fully impossible to detect, making your intrusions almost impossible to trace back.
When you're doing a hack, you first set up the connection: the server you're hacking will actively try to trace and find you, so you can set up bounces: additional servers you connect to before reaching your destination. The more bounces (and apparently the greater the physical distance between them) the longer it'll take for a trace to find you, so you'll have more time to do your dirty deed.
Then you get on the server. Usually, they have an logon screen, which you have to hack using your password breaker software, then you gain access to the server and do what you have to do (delete files, copy files, etc).
When your mission is over, you (hopefully) delete the logs to make yourself untraceable, then reply to your employer that the mission was completed, who then promptly pay you.
This goes on and on and on until the bigger storyline triggers - I won't spoil it for you guys but it's pretty fun.
. You can play ichi on everything. Maybe even your fridge.
congratz guys on Ichi!
