Jupiter Hell

Macht Spaß, aber ich kann die extrem guten Bewertungen so nicht nachvollziehen. Mein Hauptkritikpunkt ist, dass man wenig taktische Möglichkeiten hat. Medikits gibts kaum und die Gegner tauchen recht plözlich auf, weglaufen geht nicht, so kann man nichts machen ausser schießen und hoffen dass der Gegner nicht trifft.

This is an awesome addition to the pantheon of modern, polished, traditional roguelikes. It has all the strategic and tactical appeal of games like DoomRL with quality of life and visuals to match any game in 2021.

Great implementation of classic roguelike game style in modern way. Addicting game with smooth gameplay loop that keep you hooked. Player moves one square and (usually) all enemies move one square or attack etc. One more run definetily affects me since I'll never stop playing after I get killed. Only played on Hard difficulty (until I will unlock ultraviolence or nightmare). From this I've noticed that if not play with care you can get killed in the first level. This is true roguelike and I've played these kind of games from early 90's. It's great to see a new game that follows traditional roguelike elements with modern look and feel. Additional note: UI and effects have nice touch of old times :)

The big PRO's are the following: -Easy to understand Gameplay mechanics (and clear Tutorial) -Good Controller Setup -Really Fast-Paced Gameplay with tactical "Doom-Feeling" -Absolute Classical RL-Feeling combined with atmospheric 3D-Graphics In my Opinion perfect in Combination with Podcasts

My first impression of Jupiter Hell is similar to what most reviewers describe. The presentation is, for a roguelike, rock solid. Music is metal. Oneliners thrown at every corner, and guns with impact. “Take That!” A few runs in, every game start to feel the same: Same floor, same layout, same gun, same enemy. Mechanics don’t offer you options. Yes, a soldier can reduce pain; a technician can throw a smoke screen, but typically only once every level. You find grenades, one or two in a level. Sometimes you hit the jackpot with 5 grenades, only to realize you can take only 1 or have to drop a stimpack. J. Hell does not surprise. You can spend a few perks to sprint. This gets you out of the nasty situation, like a Kerberos dog biting your leg. Unfortunately, you cannot use it till next level. Btw. there is hardly any use of sprint other than run away from dogs and on occasion get you into safe cover. Perhaps JH is meant to be played differently? Perhaps, I should use the one special my character has only when really needed? Between those instances, it does not matter what character I play: I move carefully, stay behind cover, and spam the fire button when sighting enemies. They walk up to me anyway (totally ignorant of cover) and they drop. The only criterion to get further is to not forget the 12ga jackhammer and find enough healing packs to survive the next wave of fire fiends. Damn, “Something’s gone wrong… really fucking wrong”. Well it only takes roughly an hour to be back on the same level, with the same gear and skills, but this time I promise myself to not rush mindlessly into the next room. My brain is on electric stim: “Blood for the Blood God!”
