Bad game

[Kino]

I hate the weapon sounds, graphics are objectively bad and low quality. Why do people play this game?

[Recker]

the guy named kino done his trolling nicely. Well done trollface.

OP did not understand the assignment that HROT set out to complete. Or as others have stated; is a troll.

This is the BEST RETRO boomer shooter in last decade for me. The gameplay and gunplay is excellent no technical issues, fun, atmospheric, lovely easter eggs, challenging achievements. I was born behind iron curtain in 1980 in Czechoslovakia and this game took me there for short trip (ok mobs I don’t remember 😊 at all)

If could say in one sentence. This game has SOUL and I feel the CARE and LOVE which author is making the game.

ps: even if mention that author has used turbo pascal to made this ? GJ

Better than boltgun? This game has also struck my attention cause of the chasm comparison.

Op you could of fleshed out your opinion a bit better than sound and graphic preferences.

I get the color scheme looks like something out of a brown and white video, and that may be a minor gripe; but the game overall is actually good. If you do not like the game, then maybe you need to find a game with more realistic graphics. Maybe play Unrecord when it comes out? Super realistic!

I only agree about the weapon sounds.
They are really weak sounding and quiet comapred to everything else.

It's not satisfying at all to kill stuff with these weapons.
Even PSX Medal of Honor had more oomph with the gun sounds..

I thought the guns sounded kinda funny I mean if I want loud guns there's always fear and brutal doom.

[Alucard †]

Well i prefer my fast paced brutal Quake-like shooters to have weapons that don't sound like percussion cap toys.

I'm weird like that.

I like loud guns too, why I always switch to full combat mode instead of silencers in goldeneye. I guess the devs had a reason for these sound effects there are some quiet guns out there.

[Alucard †]

No. Not just "loud" but "juicy" non pathetic sounding that's what i mean.
Silenced weapons are fine as long as the sound is decent they don't have to be super loud to sound satisfying.

EDIT:
The guns in HROT are both TOO QUIET and VERY UNDERHELMING.

You get it what i mean now? It's not just volume issue.
But combination of volume and the overall sound design.

They sound too weak. Like toy guns. Especially the shotgun.
Cranking up their volume alone wouldn't help. Redesign of these sounds would be needed for them to not sound so weak and unsatisfying.

Well you probably have a point here I still had fun with the demo, the grenades sounded pretty good tho.

Yes the game is fun it just has ♥♥♥♥ gun sounds that's all.

Yea I get ya that's kinda why I couldn't get into vanilla doom or wolf3d guns sound like toys.

[Alucard †]

Vanilla Doom sounds are fine imo. They are a bit stock sounding but still have a meaty punch to them.

[Unseen]

Maybe doom 64.

Not saying doom is bad was very impressed by the atmosphere for the time in ultimate doom. Just that the guns are very dull and sound unnatural. Its not just about how loud they are but how they sound. Soldier of Fortune, or Fear are good examples of a powerhouse shotgun.

Doom2 double barrel did sound very good for its time. I'm just more into the quake era. Fav one from the doom era is heretic but you're just throwing around magic so hard to mess up those sound effects.

At the start, the character does not move either with the wasd or with the arrows.
