What is Jupiter Hell?

Jupiter Hell is a top-down, grid-based roguelike set in a sci-fi world where you face demons and aliens. You move through procedurally generated levels, fight with guns and a chainsaw, and choose perks for each run. Enemies act when you do, and death ends the run.

For you if...

  • +you like quick turns that still reward careful tactics
  • +you enjoy trying different perk builds across randomized runs
  • +you want gory sci-fi battles with guns and demons

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike starting over when your character dies
  • −you prefer fixed levels over procedurally generated ones
  • −you want a less punishing combat experience
