Sounds familiar? It should! Jupiter Hell is the spiritual successor to the 2002’s freeware roguelike phenomenon - Doom, the Roguelike, later renamed to DRL for obvious copyright reasons.Īll to the shine of CRT monitors and the tune of heavy metal! The player will rip and tear zombies, demons and unmentionable monstrosities, using classic weaponry such as shotguns, chainguns, railguns and the trusty chainsaw. We also balanced late game spawns better - Io and Beyond won't be a cakewalk anymore.Set on the moons of Jupiter, the game pits a lone space marine against overwhelming demonic forces.

They’re already around our Discord, so if you have any questions for them - don’t hesitate to ask! Their ELDERBORN is an Early Access success story, and we’re convinced that if an indie dev needs a publisher at all, they should bring some unique perspective and understanding to the table. Hyperstrange are good old friends and great fans and supporters of Jupiter Hell. To make the most of the full release, we’re teaming up with Hyperstrange, the developer of ELDERBORN and POSTAL: Brain Damaged, who will assume the role of the publisher. With 5 more regular monthly updates to go, we’re getting ready to release Jupiter Hell 1.0 on the 5th of August, 2021.
