NITE Team 4 Demo

Cyber security is a pretty big issue nowadays, especially since computers are becoming more and more important in our lives. In fact, many other devices are already smart enough to be classified as computers, which means that they can be accessed by hackers remotely. The trend we are following calls for an even more symbiotic relationship with technology in the future, which is why it’s important that our systems are secure.

NITE Team 4 is a hacking game with role-playing elements that enables you to experience the thrill of being a hacker without breaking any laws and without hurting anyone in the process. There are barely any graphical elements to talk about, which means that most of your time is spent typing commands in a terminal console, which is as close to real hacking as possible.

The whole thing takes place in an alternate reality, which means that although the world is very similar to our own, it differs in key aspects that make the adventure more intriguing. In fact, the action revolves around The Black Watchmen universe, so it’s definitely a plus if you are already familiar with it. On the other hand, you don’t need to know it in order to enjoy the game.

When it comes to gameplay, most of your time is spent typing commands in order infiltrate, infect or locate computers. It’s mandatory that you use proxies to hide yourself, but the game is more lenient than others in the genre, because it doesn’t allow you to do anything that would expose you in a silly way. Things might be different in the full version, but it’s worth mentioning that you are not as free as you might think.

However, there are some mini-games that spice up the experience, and you can enjoy them when you decide to penetrate firewalls or perform various other similar actions. The games themselves are not complex at all, but they can be pretty demanding. They also get more challenging later on, depending on how strong the firewalls you tackle are.

All things considered, NITE Team 4 is definitely on the right track, especially when it comes to gameplay. It may need a better tutorial to avoid confusing people from the first few minutes, but everything else appears to be quite refined and polished.
