This MIGHT be ROTT FOREVER!

Finally! I can play it on hardest difficulty! Original DOS version has some perfomans issues, due this I played the game only on normal difficulty. For Remaster I push pluses for: -2013 OST - alternate sounds for weapons - alternate map layout - fast perfomanse (on my outdated tincan). But - for that I can score some points? There is no scoreboard. But - I hope, developers add this feature.

Best Remaster I've Played

The remaster of this game is 10/10. The effort, additional features, jukebox, and more makes this the best remaster I've experienced. Well done.

It was a nostalgia buy

And after some time playing it I remembered why I played doom all the time instead of this game. The level design is very unimaginative, sometimes unfair (save often) and the rest of the game feels really bland in 2023. This game did not age as well as others. 19€ are also not enough for the differences to the free and available ROTT ports out there. System Shock revived the old game with the remake, This game carries the coffin for the series and makes you wish your money back. Sorry, just being honest.

A Great Remaster Of A Flawed-Mid Game

I prefer the 2013 Remake. There, I said it. While said remake isn't great either, its much more palatable than the frustrating original. Og ROTT did some innovative things for its time, but that doesn't translate to a good game. As such, Rise of the traid is more of a museum piece than a game I would Recommend to anyone that isn't already a fan of the original. The level design is an aggravating mess of switch and key hunting that's some of the worst I've seen in a long time. Not Redneck Rampage bad, but not far from it. Navigation is honestly the hardest part about the game. The levels are also loaded with death traps which makes the navigation even more tedious. As for the combat, its wolfenstein 3d on steriods. Which is fine, until you get to the enforcers and monks, which are tanky as all hell. And don't even get me started on the bosses. Rott as a whole is often more frustrating than it is fun. As for the quality of the remaster, well it's one of the best Nightdive has done so far. They added a fair amount of cut content, and a whole 20 level bonus episode thats about on par with the original. Oh, and the extreme ROTT expansion is also included but I would avoid that for the sake of your own sanity unless you are willing to play on low difficulty. There's quite a bit of options and QOL improvements that do help deal with some of the issues that stem from the games age. Visually, it looks far better than the original as well. And lastly, they did the soundtrack a great service by not only cleaning it up, but added 4 different versions of it. Which is good, considering the soundtrack is the one thing this game excelled at over wolf3d And Doom. They even added the 2013 soundtrack, which IMO is the best one. Fans of the original are definitely going to want to pick this up, but for everyone else, I would recommend the 2013 remake over it unless you want to experience al

Much better than DOSbox or source ports

I havent had the best experience with other source ports previously, and outside throwing it up on my VGA CRT (and even then, id rather have this) this is the best way to play. I loved the shareware as a kid (we never had brand new top of the line PCs so I was always a couple years behind, and mostly playing shareware lol) So this is perfect, similar to other modern remasters of DOS classics. Thanks GOG and Kex and Nigtdive and all the other re-release/remaster/remake wizards out there. Including source port guys cuz sometiems i use both (Build games come to mind, id games etc)
