The demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of a famous 1993 FPS shooter.
Read that again, let it sink in. The lore might be a bit confusing at first, but it all makes sense.First, there was that legendary hell-shooter from the '90s. Then, in 2002, came a turn-based fan project that reimagined that chaos as a roguelike - fast, brutal, and built for coffee breaks. And players saw that it was good. For 14 glorious years, it brought turn-based carnage to a devoted fanbase.Then, in 2016, came the un-making. The hell-hordes of lawyers descended on the game and all that was left was three lettersD R L. Was it still good, though? Hell yeah. And then, in 2019, came Jupiter Hell. The modern(ish) remake. Still with us? Remake of the unmake.The year is 2024, and it's sure as hell time for the story to go full-circle with another demake. Jupiter Hell Classic, the demake of the remake of the unmake of the 2002 legendary roguelike that proved fast-paced action belongs in a turn-based RPG.

English / Français Not recommanded if : _ You hate kittens and want to hurt them (puppy too). _ You don't eat meat. _ You hate turn-based game or using your Brain. _ You are an evil demon and don't want to friendly fire. I didn't played this game, just bought "Classic" to support the Devs because the first Jupiter Hell is a Masterpiece of turn-based traditional RogueLike (more focused on range but melee is possible and my fav) and deserve all the praise for the Doom-Sci fi-horror vibes + metal music (and the price is so low/worth it). BTW Devs added tons of content in original game, for FREE and AGAIN !!! (3rd massiv update adding content after release - last one 6 years later). ------------------------------------------------- NON Recommandé SI : _ Vous détestez les chattons et souhaitez leur faire du mal (aux pitis chiots aussi). _ Vous ne mangez pas de viande. _ Vous haïssez les jeux tour-par-tour, ou utiliser votre Cerveau. _ Vous êtes démon malfaisant et ne souhaitez pas exterminer vos congénères. Je n'ai pas joué à ce jeu, je l'ai acheté pour supporter les développeurs car Jupiter Hell original est un chef-d'œuvre du genre "RogueLike traditionnel tour-par-tour" (princ…4 found this helpful
Beautiful and great! super easy to get into if you are hesitant on pure-roguelike styles! Give it a try!2 found this helpful
I start this by saying I actually began with DC:SS, and then DRL, and then Jupiter Hell. I don't know why this was made, it feels like a downgrade to Jupiter Hell. It doesn't feel tactical the way JH does, just a lot more random nonsense like levers that just spill lava on the ground when you pull them.2 found this helpful
