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.
One of the best FPS I've played in recent years.
Do you remember when 3D realms did their funky shooters who parodies something ?
Blood ? (yeah they made it before selling it to monolith) Duke ?
And Shadow Warrior ?
The later is what this game is the closest to. sure it's brown like Quake, but it's way closer to Shadow Warrior.
You have interactivity like this game, you have parody like this game (minus the one liners, the character is silent) but other than that you can see it makes fun of communism and a certain catastrophy in an other soviet country.
Also this game doesn't copy stuff and puts parody, even if most of the weapons are more or less seen in an other FPS or mod (yeah i've seen chain lighning guns and BFG that shoots lightning) the game is great and the weapon rooster is fine.
Enemies also tend to shoot projectiles instead of hitscan, so you can dodge stuff.
Some enemies ranges from the classical dude with a gun to something more original like wheelchair mens and horses with a gas mask.
The game offers a few unique interactive elements while also getting stuff already featured in other FPS with interactivity.
But that's fun, you can always kill stuff and mess around the stuff in the levels, like pool tables, pianos, animals, books, and many more.
Fight your way in this crazy world, and defeat those bastards because they deserve it.
HROT is an excellent and unique quake-inspired FPS.
It's brown, funny, have a very good level design (maybe too many sewers) with a dark OSTs.
