About DataJack
30+ nonlinear stealth action missions
Do missions on behalf of three separate factions to earn credits. Your reputation will grow from being a simple goon for hire knocking off fast food restaurants, to a highly-paid corporate assassin infiltrating high-security laboratories and office buildings.
Open-ended gameplay
Before you go weapons hot, consider scouting the location for cameras, gun turrets, guard patrols, and computers of interest.
Plan your approach. Hack the locked doors. Hack the network and steal some valuable data and disable the cameras.
Sneak up behind the guard and take them out before they can alert the others. Sabotage the alarm system. Trigger your remote charge to explode the generator for an instant lights-out, or cover your tracks with smoke grenades.
A successful mission combines careful planning with skilled improvisation when things go wrong. Of course, it may be best to take a loud approach and dominate the enemy with overwhelming firepower before they have a chance to react.
Destructible terrain
All walls and obstacles are fully destructible, if you remembered to bring the heavy ordinance.
You can open new entrances, or set up emergency exits. Just watch out if the robot chasing you is armed with a rocket launcher!
29+ weapons
From submachine guns to shotguns, sniper rifles to rocket launchers, everything you need to conduct urban wetworks can be found at the local black market arms trade.
Choose from an array of primary and secondary weapons and then fine-tune their stats for stealth, accuracy, or stopping power by purchasing unique weapon modifications.
Round out your kit with EMP grenades, field health kits, IR sensing goggles, ninja equipment, and various other military surplus.
Cybernetic upgrade system
Use your credits to upgrade your arms, legs, eyes, and torso for bonuses to combat, speed, and stealth. Pay the street doc to heal your numerous wounds between missions. With augmented eyes, you can see laser tripwires before setting them off, while augmented legs may give you the drop on your unsuspecting enemy.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players are divided on this game, with some enjoying its retro charm and tight controls as a fun, bite-sized experience, while others struggle with significant technical issues including freezes, collision glitches, and unresponsive menus that make it difficult to play. The main criticisms focus on bugs and clunkiness that detract from what could be an interesting Syndicate-like game, though those who can look past the rough edges appreciate its simple, snappy gameplay.

Game seems like a cool Syndicate clone, and I would've loved to play further if it wasn't for all the bugs. Freezes, getting permanently stuck inside collision objects, and all commands besides movement (including menus) becoming non-functional were just a few of the issues I encountered in only 25 minutes of playtime. Had to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to quit out pretty much every time. I dunno, maybe the original was better, but the steam version is clearly broken beyond belief.1 found this helpful
a great concept, but combat is extremely annoying in all the wrong ways.
Fun game. Controls are very tight and snappy (probably because the game runs on the resolution of a postage stamp) and nothing ever overstays its welcome. Menus were jank at time (save screen rarely does not show up until I interact with other menus around the apartment). I'd kill to explore more of the city the apartment is in.
