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.

- +you want gory sci-fi battles with guns and demons
Not for you if...
- −you dislike starting over when your character dies
