DataJack

DataJack is a 2D isometric stealth action shooter set in a not-too-distant future where governments have dissolved and powerful mega-corporations wage covert wars over territory and information. You play a freelance mercenary who carries out sabotage, assassinations, espionage and ambushes for three factions, earning credits and building a reputation across more than 30 nonlinear missions.

Plan and execute missions

Before using weapons, you can scout locations for cameras, gun turrets, guard patrols and computers of interest. Hack locked doors and networks to steal data or disable cameras, sneak up on guards, sabotage alarms, or use remote charges to destroy generators and cut the lights. Smoke grenades can help cover your tracks. Missions reward careful planning and improvisation when plans go wrong, though you can also take a loud approach and overwhelm enemies with firepower.

Your work can take you from attacking fast food restaurants as a hired goon to infiltrating high-security laboratories and office buildings as a highly paid corporate assassin.

Weapons and equipment

The game includes more than 29 weapons, from submachine guns and shotguns to sniper rifles and rocket launchers. You choose primary and secondary weapons and can buy unique modifications to tune their stats for stealth, accuracy or stopping power. Your equipment can also include EMP grenades, field health kits, IR sensing goggles, ninja equipment and other military surplus.

Destructible environments

Walls and obstacles can be destroyed if you bring heavy ordnance. Blasting through them can create new entrances or emergency exits, but pursuing enemies may also carry weapons such as rocket launchers.

Cybernetic upgrades

Spend credits to upgrade your arms, legs, eyes and torso for bonuses to combat, speed and stealth. Between missions, you can pay a street doctor to treat your wounds. Augmented eyes reveal laser tripwires before you set them off, while augmented legs may help you get the drop on an unsuspecting enemy.
