The concept behind RVL Hacker is to create a game that challenges the gamer's intelligence, attention and focus, creating a captivating mind game. Solve puzzles, examine code and bits of information, to help you achieve your objectives.
The puzzles themselves are very well designed. There are little clues scattered around each of the servers that can unlock new servers you don’t necessarily need to win, but they provide an alternate way of getting your required information. You need to find a good balance between the trace increases you’ll get from cracking these options servers, though, as accessing that new server might not be worth the amount of money you’ll need to spend to decrease your trace level back down to reasonable levels. You use the money you earn to upgrade your computer systems.
