![]() It doesn’t even look like she has nipples. She’s this tiny creature, not even five feet tall, completely flat, no breasts. Her ears are inset like a whale’s, and she doesn’t have eyelids. Tinted rather, like she got a sunless tanner that didn’t work out. It just sounds like a disease that would turn you green. Gangrene, I think, not quite knowing what that is. And she’s got pale-green skin that looks sickly. This is my roommate.Īt first, I think she’s an inmate. She’s sitting at her desk already, reading the student handbook. I’m hoping to get there first to pick the best side of the room, the one with the most sunlight and the least damaged furniture. It’s the end of August and I’ve got all my stuff shoved in the family van, a bit too unorganized for my father’s taste, but we only live an hour away. The first time I met her I nearly peed my pants. But as it turns out, she was really well liked. I figured I’d have to protect her from riots and reporters. I just didn’t expect her to be so popular. And why shouldn’t she? She probably qualifies as fifteen different types of minority. She comes in like a Cuban refugee, minus the boat, sweeps up all the scholarships. ![]() And she gets a full ride, all the amenities paid for. I mean, here we have student-funding going down the toilet and everyone staging protests to show they’re pissed. You’d think there’d have been an uproar over the matter. Anything to be able to write on the brochures, “Our student body hails from thirty-three countries and the far reaches of the solar system.” Apparently, American school systems have gotten popular all over. I wasn’t thinking about a romp around the red eye of Jupiter, which is exactly what I’d have gotten had I followed my roommate home. When I marked on my roommate survey sheet that I’d be interested in living with an international student, I was thinking she’d take me to Switzerland for Christmas break or to Puerto Rico for a month in the summer.

In conclusion, Jupiter Hell is pleasant experience, a game which worth its price and deserves to be known and tried. Maybe it's the only moment of the game in which the pacing might slow down but for the good sake as it would often occur after the gunfight when the area is cleared and all the time required to explore, think and relax is available, to be ready until the next level.Īnd when the classic gameplay might feel too much, you can still enjoy the game with other original way of playing with the challenges or trials the game offers.Ĭherry on the top : if despite all the points mentionned, you are still not doubtful about the game or its content, you can still embrace the community which is active, fair, welcoming in addition to the dev team whose always listening at their players and modders.ĪND YES, I said modders : the game also provides a workshop with mods so you could add your own content in the game both in its gameplay and visual. The game also offers three classes which are well balanced with their own resource to manage, activable powers and passive abilities.Īlso, since we're playing a rpg, you'll have a system of leveling to unlock new traits to spice up the gameplay with new passive or activable abilities, combined with an important point of the gameplay : the gear. ![]() Though unlike most of roguelike, the choice of difficulty can offer you the choice to just have fun running around and shooting as in lowest difficulty, the game would allow you to make mistakes in your decisions and choices. Since like any traditional rogue-like, Jupiter Hell is not an easy game. ![]() Jupiter Hell offers the action and the bloody massacre someone would expect from a game like doom as its gameplay, visuals and also musics are immersive enough to get in action and take quick decisions.Īt first, you would obviously die, like a lot. These devs did it, and they did it well : The game might sound like something unbelievable : taking a universe like DOOM, nervous, aggressive, fast-paced, and applying to it a turn-based gameplay implying strategy to avoid an unforgiving permadeath. ** A letter of love for both DOOM and the true classic Roguelike genre ** ![]()
