Mohrta Build 20359004

Mohrta is an atmospheric, off-kilter first-person shooter that blends surreal level design, old-school shooting with modern touches, and a brittle, otherworldly story. You play as a Hayward operative - a reanimated Generation VII husk equipped with arcane tech - sent into the expanding region known as the Great Strange to investigate the disappearance of an earlier operative. The game’s tone is tempered and strange: haunting locales, bizarre NPCs, and grotesque enemies give it a distinct personality that lingers after sessions end.

Gameplay is built around exploration and flexible progression. There are five large, thematically distinct dimensions you can tackle in any order, and each area contains dense, lovingly-crafted environments that emphasize atmosphere as much as combat. Encounters are varied: more than 50 enemy types and roughly 20 boss fights force you to adapt, using a wide roster of weapons (many with multiple functions) and upgradeable equipment to suit your playstyle. Bosses are a highlight - strange, deific opponents that demand pattern reading, movement, and the right tools.

The combat balances hitscan and projectile chaos with utility: weapons have multiple functions, and upgrades meaningfully change how you approach fights. Level design pushes the limits of the GZDoom engine, producing rich, detailed arenas and bizarre architectural flourishes. NPCs are unusually well-realized for a shooter of this type, with a cast of odd, sometimes lovable characters who give side quests and small story beats that broaden the world beyond the main mission.

Visually and aurally, Mohrta leans into the uncanny. Environments feel alien but lived-in, and enemy/character design - including work by artist Osiol - is a consistent highlight. The narrative is atmospheric rather than expository: you gradually uncover the truth behind the Great Strange and the missing Hayward Generation I, Avlan, through exploration and interaction instead of long cutscenes.

Technical notes: Mohrta runs on GZDoom and intentionally exploits its capabilities to deliver detailed, complex maps and effects. That gives the game a unique aesthetic compared with mainstream engines, but it also means the experience is rooted in mod-friendly, texture- and sprite-driven visuals rather than photorealism.

Verdict: If you like atmospheric, non-linear shooters with a strong sense of art direction, challenging boss encounters, and a penchant for the strange, Mohrta is worth a look. It’s not a run-and-gun arcade shooter - it’s paced around exploration, upgrades, and inventive encounters. The game’s weirdness and crafted design make it memorable.
