This gives you adequate time to create your ideal build… and also plenty of time to dig yourself into a hole. Runs tend to be longer than average for the genre, with a winning run clocking in at around 3 – 4 hours typically. These difficulty levels should be approached with caution, as Jupiter Hell is by no means an easy game, even on the “Easy” difficulty setting. The only meta-progression unlocks come in the form of challenges and higher difficulty levels. There is no meta-progression designed to aid the player, although there are plenty of ways to make your life more miserable. Unlike some other modern roguelikes, however, Jupiter Hell does not necessarily reward the player for banging their head repeatedly against a wall. Jupiter Hell remains faithful to the core roguelike experience and provides a mountain of difficulty for the player to attempt to summit through grit, trickery, and determination. There is no quicksave in this world, here there are stakes. But there is something more there as well, an additional level of depth and strategy, as well as a desperate tension uncommon to the FPS genre. From the setting, to the tone, to the iconic chainsaw, Doom is an intrinsic part of Jupiter Hell’s DNA. With Jupiter Hell, ChaosForge has reigned in the direct inspirations from Doom (likely to avoid a repeat of the cease-and-desist order they received from trademark owner ZeniMax Media for DRL in 2016), yet there is no questioning the influence Doom has had on Jupiter Hell. Jupiter Hell is a spiritual successor to DRL, formerly known as Doom the Roguelike, a classic freeware game developed by ChaosForge back in 2002. If that sounds familiar, there are several good reasons for that. Jupiter Hell is a turn-based roguelike that puts you in the combat boots of a single marine, tasked with overcoming a demonic invasion of an off-world mining colony. I was committed to returning, maybe on my next run, in order to discover the mysteries of Love.
44 ammo besides, so after a few practice shots on dormant robots in the area, I had to leave the weapon behind. My curiosity was piqued, however, my character wasn’t any good with pistols, and wasn’t carrying any. This weapon would apparently heal me for each shot fired, and even more unusual, had an XP meter all its own. Within, I found a singular revolver, a unique weapon simply named “Love”. One turn, one pull of the trigger, and the AOE damage from my shotgun ensured nothing remained but torn chunks of demon flesh. I opened the door to a vault (a room with particularly good loot that needs to be unlocked prior to accessing it, typically guarded by stronger-than-average enemies), and my character took stock. The autoloader attached to my medi-fiber armor automatically loaded fresh shells into my shotgun with each step, keeping me topped up and ready for any unexpected surprises. Every time I pulled the trigger, demons exploded into pieces. My AV2 shotgun amp added a sizeable critical hit chance to each shot, and my Army of Darkness Master Trait ensured that each shot would tear through armor as if it weren’t there. Each time a demon crossed my path I pulled the trigger, unleashing a deafening cacophony of fully automatic shotgun fire. I was creeping through the second moon of Jupiter, Europa, packing a 12-gauge Jackhammer shotgun with an extended mag.
The moment it was clear that Jupiter Hell had well and truly hooked me was around my 5 th hour.
