True Roguelike. Turn-based shooter. Permadeath. Tribute to the sci-fi classics of the Golden VHS era. Successor to DRL. Just you and your gun against hordes of horrors and monstrosities. Give them hell to the rhythm of heavy metal.

Jupiter Hell is a sci-fi roguelike shooter in which you battle demonic and alien enemies across bases on Jupiter’s moons. Runs use permadeath, so a character’s death means starting over.
Movement, attacks, and other actions advance the battlefield. Use cover, manage firing distances, and switch weapons to meet different threats while keeping track of ammunition, armor, and limited supplies.
Procedurally generated levels offer branching routes and optional challenges with different risks and rewards. Choose a class, gain skills as you level, and develop a build with the weapons and equipment you find; surviving runs can unlock further challenges.
Players often enjoy how the fast-feeling turn system makes tactical gunfights tense, with cover and careful positioning shaping each encounter. Reviews also highlight varied class and weapon builds, the heavy-metal soundtrack and sci-fi atmosphere, and the appeal of learning through challenging runs. Some players find that difficulty and repeated early sections can wear on them.
