    Personally I greatly enjoyed the game. It has puzzles that will provide a reasonable enough challenge for anyone remotely familiar with code vulnerability exploitation or who is reasonably competent at coding. It's excellent at teaching the things required in it's own unique way. Learning these skills could be very difficult for someone who either has trouble thinking in a critical wayPersonally I greatly enjoyed the game. It has puzzles that will provide a reasonable enough challenge for anyone remotely familiar with code vulnerability exploitation or who is reasonably competent at coding. It's excellent at teaching the things required in it's own unique way. Learning these skills could be very difficult for someone who either has trouble thinking in a critical way about circumventing the rules or for people who have no experience with computer languages.

    Basically if the knowledge gap, either the one in act 4 or the one in act 5 are not too severe it will likely be one of the more fun games you've played. If it's too severe it will be a nightmare and more like homework or copying other's solutions to the problems.

    This game has hack and slash gameplay, that hack, player can change variable or anything, that slash is the sword with inject to object. This game is non-mainstream RPG adventure game.

    Hack'n Slash is a true homage to classic RPG, but in a very special way, letting us to play with the game not with the sword, but with our hacking skills. An original idea hampered by a poor technical side.

    Hack ‘n’ Slash is not an introduction to programming; if you’re a dummy, you’d better off playing the old classic Roboforge. But, if you do code, this game will make you ecstatic. Unlike Scribblenauts, where you being god removed all the challenge from the game, in Hack ‘n’ Slash you don’t have to invent your own adventures – the developers will keep you occupied.

    Hack 'n' Slash teaches everybody with the marvelous art of coding, with funny mechanics and a cute setting. We only wish that Double Fine had some more time to polish it a bit more.
