It's a Qix type game which means that you have to fill in spaces to control the broad, and manage your enemies in a way that benefits you. As someone that is new to these types of games I absolutely had a blast, but that's only due to how little exposure I have to the Qix type genre. On reflection, I found that I just had more fun with something like Gal Panic, and it's mainly due to how this game was made.
Celebrities Hacked feels like a rather uninspired, somewhat AI generated game that doesn't do much to impress or balance itself to be fun. Often I had to restart levels or died due to randomized enemy placement, and little equipment to actually deal with it. It wasn't so much I was doing runs to get better, but rather I was doing runs to get a good run going. Across the whole 6 levels, and 2 girls this game offers without any DLC, I mostly had fun on the first girl due to easier level design. Once you hit the 3rd level, it becomes apparent that a lot of timed star requirements are just there to extend gameplay over actually being that do able. Add that together with some jarring music choices, no story what so ever, and some rather abysmal drawings of girls and really we don't get anything enjoyable aside from the Qix gameplay.
On a pure gameplay level, Celebrities Hacked does make some interesting choices with it's Qix board design, but it's the enemy placement and randomizing that makes it rather difficult with no sense of balance. Add random power ups that, while helpful, active on the spot and can sometimes mean death for picking it up really just adds to the problems rather than helping balance the gameplay. If you are really thirsting for Qix gameplay and find this game on sale or otherwise, it might be worth it? Otherwise I just suggest looking else.
