"Jupiter Hell is fine for what it offers: a nostalgic 90s violent shooter with turn based design. Unfortunately, the limited amount of content and the generic overall experience, both in graphics and sounds, end up making it feel quite repetitive."

"I will hold my hand up and say I have not played many roguelike titles, as it is a genre I am not all that great at."
