Sept. 2025

It runs smooth, the idea is great, and it does scratch a certain itch. But the game play is extremely simple and relatively boring. There's hardly any variation in level design. You get to the second world, and the first level is as small and simple as the tutorial level. All of which making it feel like very little is gained from playing. There are different paths to take, but those levels suffer from the same things as above. Only 3 classes and a pretty simple skill list to level up. I've heard people argue against these points, saying a melee build makes you use a lot more strategy. That's kind of true, but it doesn't change much. It just makes a simple game feel even more so but with extra steps. I really want to like the game, and will play it til I fully beat a run. I won't be playing it again after that though, no real reason or incentive given to do so. That and I can only take the game in small doses before its painstakingly boring. I'd give all this a pass if the price tag was much lower or if it was in early access. But all reasons given, are just me, what I'm looking for, and high expectations. The trailer and description paint what the game is pretty well. So if any of those things check some boxes for you, go for it, a lot of people hold the game in high praise

I started my gaming journey on a DOS-driven 486. The stakes were low, the graphics were terrible, and the biggest challenge was remembering the executable command just to launch the game. I’ve been an addict from the start, but it was the kind of addiction that felt like chugging a warm can of Jolt Cola—cheap, fizzy, and good for a 90-second sugar high before dying in a pixelated leisure suit or being eaten by a Grue. That was also when I stumbled into the roguelike rabbit hole. From a five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy loaded with Moria to the time-honored chaos of NetHack, roguelikes were a blast—even if they now feel like dusty relics from a time most modern gamers barely remember (if they were even alive). Fast forward to today, and roguelikes have mutated. While many are just pixel-polished rehashes of their ASCII ancestors, Jupiter Hell is a whole different beast. It’s not just a game—it’s a substance abuse problem wrapped in techno-industrial design, deep upgrade trees, and an unholy amount of blood and guts. It’s heroin in code form. You die. You restart. You die again. You tell yourself, “Just one more run,” and suddenly it’s 3 a.m., your eyes are dry, and you’re emotionally invested in a tiny character who talks shit every time you try to reload without ammo. All this while you’re grappling with the existential realization that there was once a time before controllers—when your survival depended entirely on a keyboard and blind faith. The point? Jupiter Hell is amazing. Buy it. Lose sleep. You’ll thank me later.

Nails my favorite thing about roguelikes: you can feel OP as f**k, even truly be OP as f**k, and you will die within two turns if you aren't treating every moment like it could be your last. If you have ever felt bump combat in a roguelike isn't interesting enough, you need to buy this game.

Spiritual successor to DoomRL. No unlocks to find here, no metaprogression. Only your knowledge, decisions and a bit of RNG luck in the run will let you improve from run to run.

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!
