HROT

Hrot is a classic FPS that is not afraid of being classic. No nonsense, no unecessary mechanics, no bells and whistles. It's pure unadulterated coomer shooter fun. The level design is good, the enemies are varied and present a challenge. the gunplay is truly satisfying and the secrets are secret (and reward you for finding them). It is a perfectly good shooter and I enjoy playing it.

This game seriously needs more recognition.

this game is amazing. great flow and gun play .

Fun retro shooter taking inspiration in its aesthetics from Eastern Europe's past under communism and from Quake alike, apparently taking place after some sort of nuclear catastrophe. The game is fast, controls well and is quite unforgiving and merciless on the harder difficulties. Resources seem to be more scarce than they are in other shooters of its kind and enemies deal serious damage on the higher difficulties, so I found myself with relatively low health and sometimes low ammo more frequently than I'm used to. Still, it's a pleasant challenge for the most part. I am a bit disappointed in a few aspects of the game, however. The biggest issue to me is that most of the weapons don't really feel great. They're not bad, but the weapons available are pretty much what you'd expect given the genre and style, yet it feels like I've used a better, more satisfying implementation of each gun in a different game and at the same time HROT doesn't really do anything unique or innovative with its arsenal. Some enemies don't seem to really provide enough feedback to know what they're about to do either and in certain larger fights, I also felt like the game overuses enemy teleportation with them simply popping in randomly in the arena. Overall the combat isn't quite the well-oiled machine it is in other similar shooters. Still, despite the issues I'd say HROT is easily worth 4/5 stars and it's easily worth recommending. If this is a shooter sub-genre you enjoy, definitely give this game a shot.

From the creative choices in engine, art style and gameplay, HROT looks to truly stand out and stand the test of time.
