Evaluation

HRDINA is a compact, music-driven platformer from Bartoš Studio that launched on June 26, 2019. The game was built around a single, complete concept: levels generated from a specific Czech album by the band Zrní, with content explicitly tailored to that album's music and lyrics. The store description frames this as a self-contained narrative experience with a defined beginning and end ("Find out how does the heroes story ends"). Shortly after launch, the developer shipped a small patch on July 1, 2019 addressing bug fixes and minor quality-of-life improvements. That patch also listed a few minor outstanding items (key remapping, a headphone audio issue, dual-monitor stretching), but these were maintenance concerns rather than content promises. The OST DLC — a standalone music pack containing the full album in MP3 and FLAC formats along with booklet artwork — was announced on July 19, 2019 and released on July 22, 2019. This was the only DLC ever listed, and it shipped as announced. The developer has not posted any news or updates since July 2019. Given that the game was conceived as a finite, album-length experience with no live service elements, seasonal content, or expansion roadmap, the lack of further communication is consistent with a completed product rather than an abandoned one. All announced content has shipped, and the game's design leaves no obvious hooks for future additions.

About this game

The game HRDINA is about a hero that goes from a game to the real world.
Levels are generated by analyzing music which is provided by Czech band Zrní.
The whole music album "Hrdina počítačový hry jde do světa" (Hero of computer game goes to the world) is used to generate the level and set the mood of the game.
It is a simple platformer, however the perspective of the view is changing and in some levels and each one adds some new concept or obstacle type to the game.
While progressing thru the levels you witness the struggle of the hero using contextual queues, like "takable text", obstacles and sometimes heroes commentary.
Find out how does the heroes story ends and unlock music in the bonus menu using keys scatered in the level.
The content of the game is specificaly tailored to the content of the music and it's lyrics.
Even though the lyrics are Czech, the main character speaks using comics like bubbles to explain the plot.

Steam achievements are also present ! so get colleting ;)


The game is translated to Slovak, Czech and English languages.
