Jupiter Hell Classic

This is a great game. I really enjoy the NetHack like gameplay. The controller support is what made me want to buy it. I am glad I did.

Boring, ameteurish. Compared to other roguelikes it doesn't communicate the important information without requiring spoilers and wikis. Gigantic difficulty spike in dante that just has you raising your arms in confusion as to how the game expects you to deal with the incoming damage despite having 90 hp and insane armor and killing everything in 1-2 shots. (I am greater player in DCSS, a game that actually communicates how to deal with the challenges it has and rewards your build crafting by actually making you feel powerful). I was absolutely nuking everything that entered my screen before dante and then all the sudden I am taking 45 damage per hit with one guy on my screen. I look at him and his page shows nothing about what his attack does or how much damage it does or how to avoid it. Awful at show don't tell, the game requires you to play a tutorial to learn the rules of the game rather than teaching you them organically via gameplay. The monster and item screens are esoteric and unclear and don't give you enough information to be useful. There is little to no information in game that helps you understand what the various terms mean (Just absolutely lapped by DCSS here having a full lookup of every enemy and item in the game at a keystroke.) Probably won't play again. The first two third of the game is way too easy and boring with little decision making besides which guy to shoot first and which of the dumb masteries you are going to chain your character to for the rest of the game. And chaining the difficulty of your game to RNG ammo availability is just stupid. It ends up feeling like a slot machine half the time. Just a poorly made game. I honestly can't believe this has 20+ years of game dev put into it.

Chaosforge makes some damn amazing games man! Gameplay, sprits, sounds, and just damn everything is awesome. Another jewel for my traditional roguelike collection woot :)

It's a great roguelike, like if you modernized Castle of the Winds and gave it a theme similar to DOOM where you're shooting demons across 3 moons of Jupiter plus a last fourth area.

I loved playing DRL, and at one point i got bored because there were no updates, when Jupiter Hell was announced i thought oh great, but it wasnt why i needed. BUT Jupiter Hell Classic has everything i loved from DRL and more and a lot of QoL too, so yeah great game! Thanks for bringing it back

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.

DRL is probably my all time favorite roguelike so it feels good to be back.

It's good
