Jupiter Hell is a 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 turn-based, grid-based permadeath and fully procedural levels, all in glorious 3D visuals. Get ready for the spiritual successor to DoomRL, the parody roguelike that years ago streamlined the traditional format and popularized a new wave of accessible roguelikes. Distilled, hardcore gameplay, fast-paced challenge, and limitless death all await.

It's hidden in the middle of the description, but this is DoomRL after being told they had to stop using the Doom IP as a fangame. Same person behind it, and my understanding is that it's even built off the same codebase (just updated a hell of a lot over the years). So less a "spiritual successor" and more a rebranding.

Which is awesome if you like DoomRL.

Interestingly, I believe the same guy is making a "remake" of DoomRL that's not Jupiter Hell
