HROT is a single-player retro FPS set in a small socialist country neighboring Soviet Union (Czechoslovakia) after an unspecified disaster in 1986. Those times were dark and terrifying and so is the game.

You start in a civil defense shelter deep under a Prague Metro station. As a proud holder of the military readiness badge you know what your duty is: put on a non-functioning gas mask, load the vz. 52 pistol and protect the peace and your socialist homeland from the strange intruders*.

  • The classic gameplay and vibe of romeric shooters from 1990s including a fitting brown retro aesthetic.
  • You'll find a shotgun, a vz. 13 SMG, a rocket launcher and even some secret experimental Soviet battery-powered weapons (e.g. a ball lightning launcher). If you run out of ammo, you might find the hammer and sickle coming in handy.
  • Handcrafted levels inspired by real locations with an emphasis on historical details. Every level contains socialist paraphernalia which nowadays can only be found in museums or your grandma's attic (Eastern Bloc only).
  • Flushable toilets and destructible light bulbs.
  • A custom engine written in Pascal imitating 1990s software-style rendering with unfiltered textures and polygon jitter.

Drink, get drunk and burn them all...

You won't get lost on the maps because everything flows organically, like DOOM (1993) and even better. You can drink to increase your health and if you drink too much you will get drunk, hehe. XD Then use the same bottle to set the communist bums on fire. Some things remind us of Quake (classic): Color palette and some enemies, and finally, nothing else reminds us of Quake, as HROT follows its own path in many things. Honestly? It is a mistake to compare it with Dusk, as Dusk makes several mistakes when trying to copy Quake, and it is far from being an optimized game, due to the fact that it uses the Unity engine. HROT runs on any potato and uses an engine created by the developer himself in the Pascal language. Anyway, there are three chapters with lots of action and a great arsenal of weapons, there's even a dog to help you in one of the chapters. XD Buy HROT and avoid Dusk!

An Excellent Retro Shooter

This game is like Quake and STALKER put together. A very grim atmosphere, gritty textures that hearken back to simpler gaming times like half-life 1 & Soldier of Fortune 1. A dark ambient track that is creepy without being uncomfortable. A fast paced gameplay mechanic with kicking, shotguns and running everywhere blasting away. And in between the run&gun there are little nods to soviet politics, notes to find, collectables and grenades to throw. While the price seems a little steep, it's certainly worth playing.

What a ride

Quite Interesting Quake-esque trip to Czechoslovakia. You have to experience it for yourself.

good

it was just kinda worse version of Dusk (and yea, sure, quake). Still very enjoyable, I liked the setting and the atmosphere, some cool sceneries here and there. Level design was neat, nothing extraordinary, just solid. Cool game.

No idea what's going on

Climbed out of bunker, ended up throwing hands with a meme. 10/10 game.
