On the subject of scifi roguelikes, I've sunk 700+ hours into Jupiter Hell. I've been playing roguelikes since the original Rogue in the 80s and I think JH is the GOAT: skill tree that rewards experimentation, learning curve that never feels unfair, and that "just one more level" itch propelling you forward. Add in a fresh take on ranged combat mechanics, a strip-it-to-essentials design (a winning run takes me ~3h on Ultraviolence), and a legitimately good custom 3D engine, and you have something that I think will be recognized as a classic for years.

- swayvil 2y agoYou are me. Will check JH. Thanks.
- HideousKojima 2y agoJupiter Hell is basically just the commercial release of Doom Roguelike, with better controls and graphics and the name changed because of copyright. So if you like Doom and you like roguelikes it's right up your alley.

- j_crick 2y agoQuite surprised to see JH mentioned here, it's a great game! Also in some way it reminds me of Heat Signature, which is not the same game at all, and yet somehow has the same kind of vibe for me.
- peteforde 2y agoIf you want another way to lose time, check out Rift Wizard.
- hypnotist 2y agolooks awesome. But I do not vibe too much with turn based games. Anything similar but "realtime" ?
