To offer a brief introduction into the game at large, you can just assume that everything in Jupiter Hell is a variation on Doom.

Note that, as I said above, DoomRL is my only real experience with roguelikes, so I can’t tell you how Jupiter Hell fits in the genre at large, and most of the comparisons I’ll be making here will be with reference to its predecessor. Now the time has come to subject it to a critical examination.

This was very much to my liking, because frankly speaking, DoomRL might be the only roguelike that I ever really enjoyed, so having more of it in some new fashion was a very welcome perspective.Īfter spending some time stewing in early access, it was finally released for real in 2021. Its development followed a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016, which was started because the Polish fellow who made the original, freeware game, decided he would like to finally earn some potato from it.Īnyhow, everything seemed to point that Jupiter Hell would be little more than DoomRL with a new paint job. Jupiter Hell is the successor to the acclaimed Doom, the Roguelike (or, depending on whom you ask, DoomRL D**m, the Roguelike or DRL – trademark infringement is a hanging offence these days).
