Hack, Slash & Backstab
Hack, Slash & Backstab is a 1 – 4 Player Couch Co-Op Dungeon crawler, that pits players against a dungeon teeming with evil creatures. Players collect powerful items, perform special attacks, and fight boss monsters in a quest to find the portal that will let them leave the dungeon. The catch is…only one of them can escape. Players will battle one another to be the one who survives, but making the mistake of betraying your “friends” too soon may cost you your life. Hack, Slash & Backstab – where the dungeon is dark, and your friends aren’t friendly.

Plays sort of like an indie Diablo. Liked all of the classes; you have to experiment and find one to suit your playstyle. I thought I'd like the Knight the most, but so far the Archer is my favorite. It's not as good close up, but if you can get some distance and find an area to bottleneck the enemies, it's good for crowd control. Generally, I go room to room, then try and find either a boss, treasure, or an area to keep them at bay so I can rack up health drops. Overall it's definitely fun, but I think it's more suited towards playing with your friends. It's very difficult to play by yourself, but still fun. The music really puts a punctuation on everything and is really great. I'd love to see a few more modes and levels eventually, maybe even a campaign like a Spyro-esque mode where you teleport to different worlds and fight their bosses, but I understand that's a lot more work for the future. Great game and definitely recommending.
