Beta Access on itch.io!

First of all, we've been working on pre-Early Access Beta availability, and we're happy to offer it via itch.io - Jupiter Hell BETA at itch.io! Buying BETA access through itch.io will still provide you a Steam key at Early Access! We're not sure if we will still be distributing/updating via itch.io after Steam Early Access launches. If you're a backer of Jupiter Hell at the player level below BETA access and want to upgrade to BETA, e-mail us at ( support at chaosforge org ) with your Kickstarted data (backer number and e-mail used) for a 75%-off coupon for the BETA - (you will still be entitled to only one Steam key though!). At this moment the BETA costs more than the game at Early Access release (to be fair to Kickstarter Backers). The game will have a lower price at Early Access launch - tentatively scheduled for June.

0.5.0 released!

Time to wrap up the 0.4.x line and release 0.5.0! Vulkan is still WIP, but to offset that we bring you some juicy gameplay additions! There's a whopping total of 6 new traits this release, all of them fairly interesting. For the defence we have Die Hard and Second Wind, Scavenger for ammo management, Reload Dance, Run'n'Gun and Field Medic to round things off. We also present a basic version of the player data screen - you can check your deaths, wins and kills - medals and badges will follow at some point in the future! Apart from that, the usual round of minor balancing, tweaks and fixes has also been done. Check out below for the full changelog! We await for your feedback (especially on the new traits)!

Jupiter Hell is a classic, turn-based roguelike set in a 90's flavored sci-fi universe. Set on the moons of Jupiter, the game pits a lone space marine against overwhelming demonic forces. Rip and tear zombies, demons and unmentionable monstrosities, using classic weaponry such as shotguns, chainguns, railguns and the trusty chainsaw. All to the shine of CRT monitors and the tune of heavy metal!

Dive deep into a true form of the 30 year old roguelike game genre that has resurged in popularity. Experience tactical permadeath challenges in glorious 3D visuals.
