HROT is a Feverish Slavic Shooter
If there's one thing I've learned from HROT, it's that Czechoslovakia was a weird place in the late 80s.

As simple as it looks on the surface, Loop Hero is the kind of experience that grows on you. It's a game that isn't so much about playing out the hero winning so much as you making it possible for them to win in the first place.
