Hrot's final episode largely seals the deal on a great retro-style shooter—check out our full review.
The star of the show in Sovietcore boomer shooter Hrot is solo developer Spytihněv's levels, all of which are inspired by or directly correspond to real-life locations in and around Prague. The tenement blocks, metro stations, churches, and castles of this twisted version of the city all feel like cheeky de-makes of real world locations, aThe levels twist and fold in on each other in surprising ways, and Spytihněv likes to troll.
There's almost always some kind of trick to activating switches or picking up keys, with walls falling away to reveal enemies, trap doors dropping you into sticky situations, or even the game outright teleporting you to a completely different part of the map—Hrot is absolutely stuffed with little gags like these that never failed to get a chuckle out of me, and even when I got punked, I always appreciated it.One memorable bit is the game's riff on the classic Indiana Jones boulder trap.
One of my favorite levels, Granny's Valley, takes you to a farm out in the country with an unnerving statue of an elderly peasant woman at the center , and the farm makes for an interesting puzzle box of a level, scouring it for keys until its secrets finally reveal themselves to you. The thing is, the Granny statue stalks you through her farm and even ambushes you at points, making for some of my favorite moments in Hrot. Granny herselfof finding her where she didn't belong spooked me enough my first time through that I had to step away from the computer during a late night session and pick back up the next day.
Hrot's moment-to-moment shooting is a blast, with a great variety of hard-hitting enemies demanding improvisation and mastery of its arsenal, but I did find that arsenal to be rather limited. It's all FPS staples: pistol , single and double-barreled shotguns, SMG, sniper-style crossbow, and a"hussite hand cannon" . They all look, feel, and sound great, and they're well-balanced against each other.
