It’s also worth noting that Jupiter Hell’s animation system is a little odd at times. The environments you battle through look nice, though characters and items tend to be a little small and difficult to discern at first.

It’s the same idea but represented with actual graphics so you don’t have to read Matrix code to wrap your brain around on-screen events. Meanwhile, in Jupiter Hell, we’ve got what roguelike players would call a tiles-based system. Sure, it’s possible to get used to it after a while, but your first couple runs are going to consist in no small part of learning to read what’s going on. If you’ve ever tried to play an ASCII-based roguelike as a newcomer, you wouldn’t be faulted for getting lost in the jumble of letters, numbers and other characters flooding the screen. That’s the key here, really, and it’s more important than looking especially impressive. Jupiter Hell’s graphics are generally easy to understand.

You’re going to have to make your way through these obstacles with the power of diplomacy. What we are worried about is the army of the demonic, the robotic, and the undead that stands between you and safety – and, later, between you and saving humanity from the horde. You awaken on a space station near far-flung Jupiter. Thus, a Kickstarter was made, funds were raised and, eventually, we ended up with Jupiter Hell. Naturally, it wouldn’t be feasible to sell a DOOM-based roguelike if your name isn’t Bethesda, but it just might be possible to sell an off-brand DOOM-based roguelike. This was a turn-based, ASCII-styled take on DOOM that earned quite a bit of attention back in the 2000s. Jupiter Hell has its origins in DOOM RL – which is called DRL these days thanks to the litigation-heavy nature of ZeniMax media. The result is Jupiter Hell, a DOOM-based roguelike which recently emerged from the infernal pits of Steam Early Access. What do these two things have in common? Well, let’s mix them together and find out. Roguelikes have seen a renaissance these days as indie developers and AAA publishers alike noted the success of titles like The Binding of Isaac and decided to get their piece of the pie. Rogue itself, for instance, and its follow-ups Hack and Nethack helped to define the genre. Meanwhile, when we’re talking about roguelikes – turn-based procedurally-generated dungeon-crawlers with permadeath – there are a few different standout games we might want to discuss. Maybe DOOM wasn’t the first, but for many, it’s the FPS that mattered most. Today, thanks to DOOM’s ancestors Half-Life, Quake, Unreal, and so on, first-person shooters come in a variety of flavors for all your gun-wielding needs. The granddaddy of modern first-person shooters hit PCs in 1993, eventually changing the games industry as we know it. If you want to talk about enduring franchises, you’d be wise to consider DOOM.
