As a little bonus you get different classes that you can level up with a wide range of abilities, becoming a tech wizard or a space barbarian swinging their wrench. Just like in the original, so I can't really complain about that. It's 2D and tile-based, so the level design is restricted to empty squares and empty corridors, and there isn't a lot of furniture or decoration. It stays true to it's concept, which unfortunately also means that it doesn't add anything and therefore leaves the levels quite empty, naked and repetitive. It's easy to learn, but gives you quite a challenge and lots of ways to approach situations. That's exactly what it promises, and that's what it does, with several modes, a nice presentation (especially for a roguelike) and even some text-based storytelling that you can - but don't have to - read in the station's mail servers. It's easy to learn, but gives you quite a challenge and lots of ways "Jupiter Hell" turns the DOOM formula into a round-based roguelike, and that's it. "Jupiter Hell" turns the DOOM formula into a round-based roguelike, and that's it. With its newly-added chalenge modes it will provide veterans with all the pain they'll be able to enjoy. At its 'easy' tier this is a perfect entry-level roguelike. The fact all this was somehow translated into an approachable roguelike is nothing sort of magic (so, a very advanced technology beyond my comprehension :) ). The sheer ambition of making a roguelike that looks and FEELS like Doom and will satisfy the need of doomslayerish badassery is impressive. Jupiter Hell is - by far! - ChaosForge's magnum opus. Their ingenuity in translating action into turn-based gamplay as well as the finely-balanced difficulty and learning curve are the most enjoyable for me in all the roguelike world. The sheer ambition of making a roguelike that looks and FEELS like Doom In over 25 years of playing roguelike games I always come back to ChaosForge games. In over 25 years of playing roguelike games I always come back to ChaosForge games. In fact, I'm going to go and play my "one more run" right now. Hate yourself today? Nightmare! it is! So if you want a sci-fi, turn-based game that can play as fast or as slow as you'd like, consider giving Jupiter Hell a spin-I promise you, it won't disappoint. You want a steep/steeper hill to climb? Go for hard or ultra violent. You want it to behave like a shooter and unwind after work? Play on easy or medium. Third: This game is actually really fun, totally worth the money, and is perfect for 10 minute (trials), 2 hour (regular game), or 2+ hour (infinite, etc) style runs. Seriously, we could bet money on it, and I would win, because there just isn't anything else like this out there. Second: This is a *Doom* style roguelike.do you *really* have many of those? Really? Everyone loved Doom, even those who didn't, and the 90's shooters in general, hard not to love them-and this game captures that 90's shooter feel, but in roguelike form. First: This game has a tight community built around it, and a dev team that hangs out and listens to the players on discord on elsewhere-nowhere else have I found such a tight community with such a responsive dev. Try again." Alright, you say, but I already have a favourite roguelike, why should I try this one? Good question! Let me name the reasons why. "Just one more run, and then I'm going to bed"-I've been telling myself this most nights for the past two years, ever since this game came out in early access, and even though it's been two years, that feeling is still there-"Just one more run, I can do better than that." Jupiter Hell is a true roguelike, according to the Berlin convention, that just keeps on giving: permadeath, a "Just one more run, and then I'm going to bed"-I've been telling myself this most nights for the past two years, ever since this game came out in early access, and even though it's been two years, that feeling is still there-"Just one more run, I can do better than that." Jupiter Hell is a true roguelike, according to the Berlin convention, that just keeps on giving: permadeath, a deep, procedurally generated world, a plethora of weapons, three different classes offering significantly different play styles, and a steep-but-not-to-steep learning curve as the trailer's final tagline states: "Fight.
