Stop tiktokking your amazed reaction and I will explain how. Now, as I’m sure I’ve said before, I’m tragically decrepit enough to remember that period in the 90s when we called every first person shooter a “Doom clone.” And Jupiter Hell made me very nostalgic because it’s a Doom clone, but here’s the twist, you procrastinating twat: it’s not a first person shooter. But let’s see out another droughty summer with one last indie double bill, focusing on that one special genre that is to indie games what intestinal parasites are to inexpensive Mexican food. Hooray! Drought season’s almost over! Woo! We got through another one without self-harming or playing too much weeb shit, but I repeat myself – yay! Now there’s only disease, poverty, climate disaster and political disenfranchisement to sort out and we can start focussing on the real issues, like developing a controller for a Nintendo console that doesn’t give me old man wrist. Not for those who don’t like: Any of the above.We have a merch store as well! Visit the store for brand new ZP merch. Overall: Jupiter Hell is a fun game, that is definitely worth checking out, especially if you can catch it on sale.įor those who like: Roguelikes, DOOM, 80’s Shooters, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Music: The music is quite a bit of fun, and if for some reason you get offended easily by vulgar or even somewhat silly language you can even clean up the dialogue, or have it be voiced in a serious manner, or both.
You can see what everything is, and more importantly, where the monsters are, what kinds you are fighting and where you need to go to get the best tactical advantage.

If you play like that, then the difficulty ramps up just about perfectly, rewarding careful players.Īnd being based off DOOM and other 80’s shooters the game is full of corny lines spewing from my character’s mouth while I move through various levels and blast enemies.Īrt: The art isn’t super great or detailed, but given that it’s pretty much a callback to much older games like Fallout and DOOM that isn’t a huge problem.
Jupiter Hell doesn’t run into that problem thankfully, as it’s completely turn based, I can set my controller down and if I make a single mistake I don’t tend to suffer a death for it immediately if I’ve been playing intelligently and constantly upgrading my gear over the course of my playthrough. Roguelikes aren’t usually my favorite games, I find that I’ll mistake a jump due to my physical disabilities causing me to twitch and that will mean I have to start over from the very beginning, which is more than a bit annoying to me. This means that for the most part, every single time you approach the game, you are going to be presented with a different set of tactical maps to conquer.įrankly, I enjoyed this much more than most Roguelikes, simply because the difficulty wasn’t overbearingly hard even at the beginning. Unless you continue to use a specific World Seed of course. Which is a highly suggested move I encourage all players to do, just running through the various levels will make your character just run straight into a death trap of some sort eventually.Īnd since this game is a rogue-like with procedurally generated maps, death means starting over completely. It’s turn based, but it never really feels that way unless you start waiting in a spot to allow for patrolling enemies to come close to blast away at.

Gameplay: This plays with an Isometric point of view ala many PC games like Starcraft, Command and Conquer and the original Fallout games. The plot really is just there to back up the gameplay. I wasn’t ever able to get the full story myself. Then the people behind the experiments tried to cover it up, or something along those lines. From what I can tell, without going into spoilers, is that there were some experiments that went horribly wrong and opened a way to a demonic realm full of creatures wanting to eat humans. Honestly the plot isn’t super detailed unless you go digging in the various scattered Com Stations throughout the game. Plot: You play as a soldier who crash lands on Cassini, a space station orbiting Jupiter.
Hey all! I’m back with another Rogue-like game that originally started out as a fan-made DOOM spin-off.
