Bentley's Hackpack

Game Overview

Bentley's Hackpack transforms the hacking sub-games of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time into a standalone arcade experience on the PlayStation Vita. Built around a vibrant neon arcade hub, the title invites players to master three main arcade cabinets, each presenting unique retro gameplay mechanics.

The compilation features three core game modes:

• Sparkrunner: A fast-paced puzzle game where players guide an electric spark along circuitry tracks using the PS Vita motion sensors, collecting energy items while avoiding fatal node hazards.

• Alter Ego: A retro side-scrolling shoot 'em up where players control pixelated avatars, firing lasers, morphing into alternate shapes, and gathering pixel upgrades to clear systemic computer glitches.

• System Cracker: A top-down dual-stick tank shooter where players steer a heavy combat tank through maze-like firewalls, destroying security turrets and blasting open network barriers.

Every level includes unique challenge objectives, such as completing stages within time limits or achieving high-score multipliers. Accumulating tickets allows players to unlock collectible masks, figurine prizes, and special arcade decorations in Bentley's prize booth. Featuring Cross-Buy and Cross-Save support with the PS3 version, Bentley's Hackpack offers an engaging arcade experience for fans of the franchise.
