Jupiter Hell sci-fi horror turn based roguelike gets a full release date for Linux, Mac and Windows PC. Thanks to developer ChaosForge now inches closer to a full launch. Along with good news we have a discount available via Steam Early Access. But the regular price on Humble Store and GOG.
ChaosForge is the developer behind the Sci-Fi horror turn based roguelike Jupiter Hell. Who teams up with Hyperstrange (ELDERBORN, POSTAL: Brain Damaged) on the final stretch. Due to bring the game out of Early Access on August 5, 2021. Along with 5 more regular monthly updates to go. Jupiter Hell 1.0 is getting much closer.
So here’s the plan. Warsaw based publisher and developer Hyperstrange announced they’ve joined forces. This way they can help ChaosForge ensure a successful launch of Jupiter Hell. Working to bring the fan favorite Steam Early Access roguelike to the full release date this summer. This announcement is also backed up by the release of the game’s 0.9.7 version. One of the largest scaled content updates to date. Along with a special week long 20% discount promo on Steam for Linux, Mac and Windows PC.
0.9.7 Version Changes include:
- Expanded moons
Each of the three moons now sports 7 levels. While each moon has a midpoint level, with dedicated generators at level 4. Each moon has different new generators for its latter half. This also provides for a more varied and interesting experience when traveling the main route. Additionally, due to the moons being larger, each moon will connect to three branches. - New branches
A total of four branches have been added to Jupiter Hell. These are Callisto Rift, Europa Ruins, Shadow Halls and Noxious Mines. Each new branch has a new special level. Noxious Mines use the old Noxious Hollow. While Infernal Lock has been added to Io main route. So take note to both Europa Ruins and Shadow Halls which feature a brand new tileset. Including notably interesting special levels 😉 - Expanded traits
As if that were not enough there is a HUGE expansion of traits. Every trait has now 3 levels. And while some higher levels are just additional stats. Among the expanded traits, some have completely new (or significantly revamped) effects!
Monster generation
The game we all know is known for its huge fights. So Jupiter Hell can’t be any different! Monsters now more often get generated in larger packs, especially at higher difficulties. Leading to more exciting fights and a better challenge once you’re already rocking that Master Trait of choice. There is also a balance, allowing late game spawns to be better. Io and Beyond won’t be a cakewalk anymore.
Set on the moons of Jupiter, Jupiter Hell pits a lone space marine against overwhelming demonic forces. The player will rip and tear zombies, demons and unmentionable monstrosities. While using classic weaponry such as shotguns, chainguns, railguns and the trusty chainsaw.
Jupiter Hell is the spiritual successor to the 2002’s freeware. A roguelike phenomenon – Doom, the Roguelike, later renamed to DRL for obvious copyright reasons.
