Your character along with enemies doesn’t have to be front-facing to shoot. Not only does this hopefully provide the chance the enemy might move in range for a better shot but it also gives you a buff for a high hit chance. If you don’t have a shot, you can bypass a turn. Your character can also take cover behind various objects. You will see glowing boxes showing available move spots. Once you encounter an enemy, turn-based strategizing begins. You have a free-roaming ability in areas with no enemies. The movements are up, down, left, and right. The only real item that is scarce is med-kits which is to be expected. There are plenty of weapons such as shotguns, railguns and chainsaws, gear, and 2nd items such as grenades to be found in crates, supply boxes, and from dead enemies. These locations are all procedurally generated so don’t bother trying to memorize the area layout for your next play. What does remain is your character level and whatever achievements you’ve obtained during your run. Since this is a rogue-like, permadeath is in play so all weapons, gear, and other items are gone upon your death. For example, the Marine only has a small med-kit while the Scout has a revolver with. They are the following:īesides each having their own respective traits, they also only have one item equipped from the start. There are three choices all of which have distinct character traits and unique perks. Once you take control of the game, it’s time to select your playable character. Jupiter Hell is a strategical turn-based game with a rather intuitive RPG system. So one might think from this opening cut-scene that Jupiter Hell is a run & gun rogue-like however this is not the case. Once inside, an elevator door opens and a monstrous creature emerges. Your character has just returned from a routine patrol of the Callisto orbit when suddenly your craft is shot down by the automated defense system. Jupiter Hell‘s story is presented in the form of animated cutscenes. So when Jupiter Hell was announced, I was intrigued to see what new gameplay elements would be implemented and make this a standout title. Some have risen to the top of the genre’s must-have lists such as Hades and Enter the Gungeon while others have become permanent fixtures on the Nintendo eShop. The rogue-like genre has experienced an influx of games in recent years.
