Occasionally an Alternate History with a non-monotheistic major religion will use this to demonstrate how different that world is. Another common variation used by future civilizations is to invoke science or scientists instead.
However, a writer can't invoke a god in a fantasy environment because monotheism is rare, so where we say "Oh My God", characters in the fantasy universe will say "Oh My Gods!"ĭepending on how developed the world is, it is also quite common to invoke actual gods by name, such as the Gauls in Asterix saying "By Toutatis!" (well, he was an actual Gaulish god). And the commandment in The Bible was originally about making false oaths anyway. note Technically, "God" isn't His name even the words it's translated from ("El", "Eloah", and "Elohim") are more like describing what He is rather than a name. But for players willing to put up with the quirks and the challenge, this is an entertaining space strategy game.Even though many churches really don't want us to use the Lord's name in vain, many people, especially in fiction, will end up saying "Goddammit" or "Oh my God" for one reason or another. Coupled with permanent death forcing players to lose all progress and restart on a regular basis, it can get frustrating for many non-hardcore gamers. That's not due to its over-the-top violence and gore, but rather its equally over-the-top difficulty. Finally, Jupiter Hell is not a game for the faint of heart. Because of the lack of true diagonal angles, there are also lots of instances of characters seeming to be behind the cover of walls or such, but still getting hit by fire. Since facing makes no difference, it's a bit odd to be facing away from foes and yet still unload a shotgun blast from behind like some Old West sharpshooter. Stats in the upper corner of the screen highlight enemy details, chance to hit, and more. Every time the player moves or takes an action, enemies simultaneously do the same. The game uses a grid-based system, restricting movement to up, down, left, and right directions. And yet somehow, defying all sense of logic, the end result winds up being a lot of fun (and more than a little frustrating) to play.Īfter choosing between three classes of soldiers, each with their own special abilities, players jump right into the action, descending into the infested bases. These two completely different styles of design and gameplay are seemingly tossed into an industrial blender, then mashed together with a quirky look and awkward controls.
Jupiter Hell borrows liberally from the Doom series' "hell in space" plot, over-the-top violence, and fast shooting action, and mixes it with the XCOM series' turn-based tactical gameplay, steep difficulty, and grueling permadeath. Sometimes you can look at the pieces of something and think there's no possible way it should be able to fit together, much less work. Because in the world of Jupiter Hell, death is permanent and escape is the only option. You've got to find cover, take aim, and most importantly, survive. Players will take the time to examine your surroundings and develop a strategic plan of attack. You'll choose your class, load your weapons, and face the apocalypse head-on as you navigate through a network of installations on Jupiter and its surrounding moons, blasting anything and everything standing in your way in turn-based combat. What chance does one sole battle-hardened Marine have to fend off a demonic invasion? You're about to find out. The gates of Hell have been opened and the evil within is pouring forth. Exiting your ship, and in a very foul mood, you find yourself in the middle of a slaughterhouse, filled with the corpses of the base personnel and graffiti painted in blood on the wall. You're a lone soldier on your way to the Jupiter base when your ship unexpectedly takes fire, forcing a crash landing. JUPITER HELL is a gun blazing, demon blasting fight for survival against the legions of Hell, set among the sci-fi backdrop of deep space.
