Evaluation

HAAK launched its full 1.0 version on August 24, 2022, after a two-year Early Access period. Following launch, the developer Blingame released two free DLC expansions: "Echo of Chains" on April 12, 2023, and "Black & White" on November 30, 2023. The Black & White DLC was explicitly described as the final DLC for HAAK, featuring a new explorable area, new gameplay and parkour mechanics, and a new story ending. A bugfix patch followed in December 2023 to address issues introduced by Black & White, and the DLC was also brought to Nintendo Switch in January 2024. No further content has been announced or released since then. The developer has clearly communicated that Black & White represents the conclusion of HAAK's post-launch content, making November 30, 2023 the date the game's content became complete.

Story

The game takes place in a world ravaged by disaster. The once glorious city has been reduced to ruins, and the survivors struggle for survival. In the south, a land called Sanho has mostly remained unaffected by the calamity due to its unique geographical environment and has grown into something of a sanctuary. The protagonist, Haak, is a traveler from a small northern town. He chose to leave his home and ventured south to survive.

Haak is an explorative game combining action-platformer gameplay with Metroidvania. Traverse the land with your hook, dash, and charged slash.

Fully hand-drawn graphics with unique and interesting characters. A retro & futuristic pixel world for a comic-esque feel.

Find the multitude of secrets and hidden rooms scattered across the land. Use any tool at your disposal to master mechanics and solve the multitude of puzzles.

Creative difficulty changes so that even those who are all thumbs can beat the hardest of bosses. Choose your own path and decide the fates of the game's characters with several possible endings.
