![]() Even better, Jupiter Hell typically makes sure to reward the player for exploring each level, with life-saving goodies like upgraded weapons, health packs and armour dotted across each floor. While Doomfans will be most familiar with maps of fire and bubbling lava, plenty of levels reminisce the eerie, sterile station halls of Alien. The zones across Jupiter Hell are all engaging, with set designs taken straight from the sci-fi classics handbook. ![]() They’ll hit hard, and scarce healing supplies mean that one bad fight can keep you on the back foot for the rest of your run. That’s not to say that the enemies – from reanimated soldiers to fireball-spewing demons and combat drones – don’t have powerful weapons of their own. Further in, there are plenty of weapons (including classics like the chain gun) to snatch up and fire at will. Shotguns will annihilate entire crowds of close-up enemies, while pistols whittle down individual baddies and are fairly versatile for long and short ranges. ![]() Every weapon is powerfully satisfying to use, and each delivers gore in its own special way. Speaking of rampaging, Jupiter Hell hands you all the tools to do so gleefully. The strategic roguelike is quite similar to Into The Breach in the sense that you’ll want to give thought to every action before committing to them, however Jupiter Hell is much faster paced and lacks any way to rewind your rampage. This means that Jupiter Hell lets you examine every single choice you make in a way few games in the genre offer. Do you run for cover, or fire a shot at the combat drone and remain exposed?
