True to its Roguelike roots, Jupiter Hell delivers a turn-based dungeon-crawling RPG experience with the ever-daunting challenge of permadeath. At first glance, this game seemed a bit shallow to me. But the more I gave it a chance, and the more I met my untimely demise, the more its strategic depth began to take precedence. Turning off the heavy metal soundtrack and reducing the frequency of the Player Character’s voice lines made a surprising difference. It allowed me to focus on the tactical gameplay, often demanding long pauses between turns to carefully weigh my options and decide on the best course of action. Also worth mentioning, there’s a strong emphasis on inventory management. Not only is this game retro themed, but information about this game is as obscure as the game itself, which evokes a pre-internet nostalgia where discovery was part of the journey. Unless you’re willing to scour an ASCII guide, you’ll likely stumble upon new secrets purely by accident, even after dozens of hours of gameplay... Wait, you can shoot doors?! In typical Roguelike fashion, Jupiter Hell ’s levels are procedurally generated, keeping each run fresh with plenty of new weapons and armor to find to make up for the badass set you lost in your previous run. Add to that 3 distinct character classes, multiple difficulty levels, and a variety of game modes & challenges, you can be assured there's plenty of replay value here warranting several returns to this gem of a game for years to come!

This is a phantastic modern incarnation of a traditional Roguelike. It plays so well with a controller, which is a refreshing way to play such a game from a comfortable position further away from the screen. The size of the HUD elements and the adjustable map zoom accomodate this well. The aesthetics of the interface hits all the the right tastebuds for me, as a kid from of the 80's and 90's. I remember curved CRT screens and that very font from old textfiles. If you like old-school Quake and Doom, you will appreciate some content referencing those games, such as keycards, armor and health orbs. The gameplay heavily emphasizes tactics and positioning. The mechanic of cover is most important. Bits of lore is fed to the player via e-mail messages exchanged between staff members of the bases on Jupiter's moons. However the content of these messages are so vague, that I mostly can't make out much sense about what they are trying to tell me. From what I understand, they hint at good loot that can be found in branches, which can enable advanced players to aim for a certain exploration path and character build. The turn based nature allows for relaxing and cautious play. The animation of the turns is so fluid, allowing for faster play in less dangerous situations. You can get into a real rush of killing sprees! Gibbing the enemies feels so satisfying, as well as all the weapon sounds of shooting and reloading. The game is brutally hard, but the typical audience expects that and I like a real challenge. It took me over 30 hours to get my first win on Easy difficulty, even though I have many years of experience with Roguelikes. The game has no metaprogression system unlike several modern Roguelikes, but this adheres more to a traditional Roguelike. The graphics and the lighting are pure eyecandy with highest quality settings on a 4K monitor. Tough I am a passionate Metalhead, I play with the music muted, because the metal soundtrack is too repetitive and generic for my taste. Instead I use quiet playback of some Dark Ambient from outside the game, as this enables me to better hear the enemy noises and I also find it more atmospheric like that. The official Discord community is very friendly and helpful.

Very good game, but not for me. I loved the music and the game play mechanics. But it made me realise I prefer rougelites over rougelikes. I want to actually UNLOCK stuff as I progress. New classes, new guns that may drop, SOMETHING. Higher difficulties and trying new builds is not enough incentive for me personally to replay this style of game because I'm just going to play the build I know works. Why waste my time with anything else? So, while I refunded it, it's not the game's fault whatsoever. It's very good. You absolutely should buy it. It's just not to my taste. I'm going to stick with rougelites, like Binding of Isaac, Our Darker Purpose, or Dead Cells.

One of the best and most balanced traditional roguelikes in existence. Systems are in depth enough to be interesting without being cumbersome. Challenging without being unbalanced. Particularly nice as it's the only traditional roguelike I've ever played with well made and easy to use controller controls. A+++ would buy again.

Jupiter Hell is great, thinky fun, yet still retains its brutal roots in DOOM theme. There's lots of great tactical decision making about what class, upgrades, and guns you choose depending on your playstyle and objectives for a run. I always keep coming back for more to experiment with and there's always something new to experience here. The graphics are amazing for a traditional roguelike and you can really tell the amount of optimization and coding effort that went into the game. JH sets the standard for other traditional roguelikes to follow from an artistic standpoint and it stands heads and shoulders above the rest in its part of the rogue-game genre.
