    Hrot is absolutely oozing with eerie atmosphere and somber liminality. Combine that with the tight gameplay of a modern "quake era" FPS, and you are left with a remarkably unique shooter that simply must be experienced by fans of the genre!

    Inspired heavily by Chasm: The Rift, and throw in some You Are Empty with it. Then you pretty much have HROT. A fantastic retro shooter that delivers on all it promised to set out to do, and a commendable effort for a one-man team.

    Fun gameplay, beautifully depressing locations, unique enemies. This game turned out to be awesome even though it's pretty short and gets repetitive after a while. And my first playthrough was on lowest difficulty as this isn't exactly an easy game. Anyway, I can recommend this to anybody who loves fast action and retro graphics.

    Divertido y terrorífico. Repleto de referencias a otros shooters de su género -sin la cita obvia a lo Project Warlock-. Hrot es un paseo por la historia de los boomer shooters hasta los simuladores inmersivos que sin renegar de su pasado, sabe mirar para adelante ofreciendo mucho contenido y rejugabilidad que espero, cree una comunidad de mods a la altura de quake o doom

    Approximately five hours of action-packed humour and style make it almost impossible to turn the game off with a clear conscience. The high-quality level design is accompanied only by a minimalistic soundtrack highlighting the horror elements, and the enemies bring the player to their knees not only with their satirical concept, but also with their corresponding difficulty.

    HROT is another name to add to the ever-growing list of great boomer shooters, one that boasts some solid gameplay mechanics, a rich and satisfying level design, and a peculiar atmosphere that brings players in an alternative version of 1980s Czechoslovakia that is both fascinating and fully able to stand out from the usual locations that we see in these kind of games. Sure, the game can be a bit "janky" sometimes, but its heart is in the right place, and overall, it's a well-made and thoroughly fun experience that most FPS lovers are bound to enjoy.

    Hrot draws from Quake, Duke and Blood but does it half-heartedly and due to the setting resembles the forgotten You Are Empty more than the aforementioned classics. It holds its own in terms of level design, but you can feel it was developed by just one person.
