Evaluation
Data Hacker: Corruption released on October 22, 2014 as a complete, narrative-driven RPG — the second entry in the Data Hacker series. Post-launch activity was brief and focused on polish: two feature patches in late 2014 and early 2015 added Steam achievements and adjusted starting difficulty. The only DLC ever released was the Corruption Soundtrack on May 25, 2015, which is the last content tied directly to this game. After that, the developer's news posts shifted entirely to promoting other titles in their catalog — Data Hacker: Reboot (April 2015), Atonement 2 (October 2016), and State of Anarchy: Master of Mayhem (March 2017). No further updates, patches, or content have been announced or released for Corruption since May 2015. The store description presents the game as a self-contained product with a defined feature set. The developer has made no statements about additional content, and there are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The game launched as a finished product and its content was complete by the time the soundtrack shipped in May 2015.

About this game
This second Data Hacker title allows those who have completed the prequel 'Initiation' to import their completed save files with ease; keeping decision data, team members and inventory intact!
Or, start a new game and make your choices on the fly!
Data Hacker: Corruption is a retro-inspired JPRG set within a virtual realm and a simulated Online Game. It is a narrative-driven game that questions the value and definition of life and its inherent value. The game features two completely separate storylines and partial voice-acting.
Our story shifts up a gear: everything is changing rapidly, with each side vying for a position that will secure their future. The SiliCAI army fends off both Virulea and Hunter attacks while trying to maintain equilibrium. They seek power untold; a way to vanquish those who would do them harm.
In the coming war, on which side do you stand? Do you defend the SilicAI and their digital world, or fight for the people of the real world?
