Jupiter Hell

RL goodness is back with this title. From the developer of DoomRL, which brings us a new look with clasic RL gameplay. Much fun and with that "one last run" feeling. Really enjoying the game, music and overall feel of the game so far. I have a feeling this a going to be a great RL, which it already feels as it is, but with the added bonus that there´s more to come! Be advised that the game, at least when launched via GOG Galaxy ask you if you want to use Vulkan (api), a similar API to OpenGL, or one would say the next step from OpenGL and/or equal to DX12 which some video cards might not support. In my case Iam using a Nvidia GTX 1060 (6GB) with no issues, although when I selected not to use Vulkan the game did not launch. Giving the game 5 stars because it´s from a veteran developer of RL´s, otherwise as it is, I would still give it a 4 star rating. Nice to see this on GOG so thanks GOG!

If Jupiter Hell is a love letter to DOOM. Not so much gently scented with memory but soaked in fluids better not described. I have never played DOOM RL, although I have read great things about it. I adore this game. Somehow this turn based, top down game manages to capture the energy of running down the corridors shooting baddies in the face. Or, even better, 'sploding the liberally placed barrels. The cover system is zen simple and the movement has an extremely fluid quality in between gun fights that I find extremely pleasing. Weapon Variety - the weapon variety expands as you progress through the game, and any individual game is stingey with the interesting weapons. The game is by no means complete, and the developers are frequently replying to people in the community. The core gameplay loop is firmly in place and is extremely satisfying. It has that Soulslite quality where even low level enemies can ruin your day if you don't pay attention. My biggest negative criticism is that the camera doesn't give the player enough space when headed into a south-west direction. My much smaller niggling criticisms are the key bindings. They came from Hell along with the demons. The music isn't very good, which is a bit of a let down. It's just generic metal that lacks forward momentum.

I love it. I'm generally more of an action game guy, so I love how this game is turned based with a single unit. I've beat it up to hard difficulty and I'm working on UV now. It's just easy to sit down and do a round. A winning run only takes about an hour or so. To me it has that Civ one more turn kind of feel. Even if I die (more often than not), it's still fun. On easy through hard if I die it's because I got caught up in the action and moved too fast without thinking. Frequent updates change up things enough to keep things interesting. Looking forward to see how this game evolves.

I loved DOOMRL and still have a copy of it ony my pc. When I heard that they were going to make Jupiter Hell I was really excited. I am still blown away on how well the creator's vision holds up in this game. Being able to create a real roguelike game with fantastic feeling gun play is still a marvel to behold. The graphics are average but you can tell they are doing their best with the small team. The audio and music could be better, but are by no means offensive. Heck you can mute it and turn on your own blood pumping mix in the background. But the simple yet tactical and enjoyable game play is where this game shines. What do you get with Jupiter Hell? A demon blasting roguelike with tight mechanics thats easy to pick up and enjoy the hell out of. na zdrowie Kornel!
