Oct. 2024

This review is positive only because I'm evaluating the remaster itself. It's a very good remaster of a very mediocre game. Mediocre at best: [*]Low weapon variety. 3 infinite ammo weapons, out of which you will logically use only the strongest one. Several different types of rocket launchers, which are fun, but only one can be carried at a time and all have very limited ammo pools. [*]Low enemy variety. Nearly all of them are hitscanners who look similar to each other: dudes in military uniforms. They're also fairly tanky for no reason, especially Monks and Enforcers. [*]Combine the above and you are forced to use the infinite MP40 to slowly grind down enemies with inflated HP pools. Imagine that some people play on higher difficulties with even more foes whom are even tankier. I guess hearing the Enforcer pain sound for 30 seconds each time you kill one is entertaining for them. [*]The traps are the other half of the opposition. Annoying, slowing the game down even further. [*]Powerdowns, i.e. powerups with negative effects, which you should wait out. Guess what this does? [*]Mazes all around. [*]For Extreme Rise of the Triad multiply all of the above by around 100. Just watch videos on YouTube about how it was deliberately designed to be absolutely bullsh*t. There is a reason why there's an achievement to finish only ONE, ANY EROTT level. There is some good in RoTT: [*]When it's allowed, it can be really fast. With a Firewall weapon to instantly kill enemies and few traps it can be as fast as lightning. [*]Dog Mode and God Mode powerups are very fun to use. [*]Soundtrack is absolutely fire. Some of the best of that era. It was constantly reused in user content (most prominently Doom and DN3D) from the '90s and early '00s. The remaster has multiple quality of life changes, e.g. less self damage on explosive firearms, and an option to halve Monk health. Why not Enforcers as well? No idea. To be sufficiently entertained, play on Medium at most. Do not even attempt finding all secrets and killing all enemies. You will lose your mind in most levels, they are that maze-like. Just focus on finishing them. Also, play an hour a day tops.

April 2024

easily the best way to play classic rott and the new levels are pretty great

March 2024

As classic as it gets for old school cool DOS shooters. The remaster includes all the updates you'd expect from Night Dive Studios in one solid package. Progressing through levels can be very maze like and downright impossible if specific hidden switches can't be found. It's worth a playthrough if you like boomer shooters but keep a guide handy because on your first playthrough you will get stuck.

March 2024

Its a Rise Of The Triad remaster but Nightdive put 200% effort into it like undummied out enemy sprites, a whole new expansion pack episode for free, a free level editor, workshop support, 4 different versions of the soundtrack including Andrew Hulshult's 2013 remake thrash metal OST. Its got the shareware demo episode and the Extreme ROTT expansion for those can't live without a dick in their eye and the dick has "Kaizo" written on it. Extreme ROTT was a Kaizo hack before Kaizo Mario was ever a thing. It is still ROTT at its core with all the flaws of the old but the fact this much effort was put into it is very telling. And you're not really buying this for the gameplay or the story, you're buying this because ROTT's soundtrack is fucking fantastic.

Jan. 2024

Now this is how you do a remaster! Everything ROTT packed into one game with tons of customization on top. The alternate character sprites are nice and add variety and you can even determine how common they are supposed to be (from never to 100% of the time). Some game balance changes also go a long way, so you can truly play this game the way you wish to. I used to have issues playing this game on modern monitors in the past as the low resolution got me motion sick real fast. Now in 1080p that's gone away! If you are like me and you remember having enjoyed this game as a kid, then this is the perfect comeback. Just make sure to bring lots of lead and toast for your lunchbox... and turkey now, apparently.
