You’ll explore many increasingly dangerous levels of the game’s setting-a facility stationed on Jupiter-and each run is procedurally generated so that the arrangement of hallways, rooms, enemies, weapons, and loot will be randomized. No drops stay behind to help you out on the next try-but luckily, you can save your game mid-run if things get too intense. That means that when a run ends, you lose everything. While many recent games try to soft-pedal your experience, Jupiter Hell is an old-school, full-on roguelike. The Marine can gain Fury, which in turn can be converted into the ability to heal up the Scout is a stealth specialist who likes sneaking around and lastly, the Technician can override each level’s technology or do things like redirect sentries (my fav). Each of these classes places relatively differently. The choice of available classes is rather sparse-you can be a Marine, Scout, or Technician.
One difference is the choice of a backdrop, however, as you’re not fighting enemies on the moon. Originally conceived of with the title, DoomRL, Jupiter Hell has still derived much of its influence from Doom. But instead of being a first-person shooter, it is played from an isometric perspective. Jupiter Hell is a new spin on the Doom franchise. The now-classic shooter that is Doom has had such a far-reaching effect on the gaming industry as a whole that it’s hard to find a shooter that hasn’t been influenced by it. Then Doom came along and became my next obsession.
If I could have crawled into a Street Fighter arcade cabinet and lived there, I would have. Back in the day, I used to play a lot of fighting games.
