![]() ![]() Every new run is a fresh start, with players only able to rely on the knowledge learned from mistakes as a way to progress further next time. Jupiter Hell is, at its core, a true roguelike, meaning that upon death, a player must restart the game without any progression remaining intact. Jupiter Hell also employs a cover system, with players able to peek around corners and deliver a safe shot that kills enemies without much risk. Players can swap out weapons and pick up much-needed ammunition for the ensuing battles to come. Defeat an enemy and it will explode into a drop of any combination of weapons, ammo, or other items, much like DOOM Eternal. Attacking takes a turn, and enemies can attack while players move as well.Įvery enemy encountered displays stats in the top right of the screen, and players must compare the protagonist's stats with the enemies to see the chance of winning each battle. As players navigate the environment, enemies will be encountered, and if they are in sight of the player, they can be shot. Players can only move in the four cardinal directions, and time freezes between moves. After beginning a run by choosing a class, players are immediately thrown into action. This choice immediately makes sense upon the first taste of the grid-based gameplay. The game even translates this old-school aesthetic into its controls, eschewing mouse support for keyboard or controller only. Environments are randomly generated and take players to space stations, military bases, and even dusty mining colonies on Jupiter's moon. Even the menus in the game are presented in CRT-like text boxes accompanying subtle screen curvature mimicking computers from the '90s era. The cramped hallways add to the dread of the otherworldly evil and make the game feel like a mixture of DOOM 3's claustrophobic levels mixed with the industrial aesthetic found in the classic Aliens film.

Master traits are written in capital letters, and only one can be taken on each character. Each trait has 3 levels.Įach class has 10 basic traits which have no prerequisites, 7 advanced traits which require 1 or 2 levels in a basic trait before they can be taken, and 5 Master traits, which have multiple prerequisites including a level requirement (8 for L1, 11 for L2, 14 for 元). The Trait list can be navigated to at other times by going right from the Character screen, in order to check your traits or to use a deferred trait selection. You can also defer this choice until later. Each time you level up, you will be taken to the Trait screen to choose a new trait, or increase your level in an existing trait. As you earn Experience, your character gains levels. There are no other effects from class choice, except for items which affect the use of a class skill or class resource not being able to drop for other classes.Ī new character starts at level 1. Your class determines your starting equipment, which of 3 active skills you start with (and what class resource is spent to activate it), and which traits can be learned. ![]() When starting a game of Jupiter Hell, you need to choose a class, a game mode, and a difficulty, as well as your character's name. ![]()
