History VideoGame / JupiterHell

** Unlike ''DRL'', there are no "mystery" switches, much less ones that will flood the entire level with lava or acid.

* EliteMooks: Every single enemy can have an Exalted variant, which has boosted health, awards more XP, and can have one of a dozen additional buffs applied. These range from things like accuracy increases, boosted armor, double damage or HP regeneration to possessing elite weapons they were not normally meant to have. Oh, and they'll spawn in groups of three as well. They are also quite capable of ending your run if you are unprepared or careless.

** When you've cleared the last enemy on a level, any remaining items on the floor become permanently visible, even if they would normally be outside your line of sight. This helps you make sure that you didn't overlook any loot before moving on.

** This is an okay idea for the Marine class due to synergy with Focused Fire, which grants a 10% accuracy bonus on every consecutive turn of shooting at the same target. For Scout, however, this is far from great, as much of their skill tree is about retaining or increasing the dodge bonuses, which are added when the character is on the move, and rapidly diminish when staying still.

** PlayingWithFire: Fire fiends throw fireballs, which will set the marine on fire for 3 turns. They are also predictably immune to being set on fire themselves. Exalted Hellfire Reavers will also be able to throw fireballs.
** AnIcePerson: Cryoreavers and Ice Fiends throw large "snowballs", which slow the marine down. Cryoberos, a variety of late-game Kerberos, can do the same.

* MeaningfulName: [[Literature/TheDivineComedy Dante Station]], where the game's most hellish enemies await you.

** As with ''DRL'', ADV and unique weapons are often hit by this trope if your build doesn't specialize in their weapon type. Such weapons are excellent for a character that ''does'' have the relevant traits... but not you.
** Rocket (and other) launchers are awesome weapons... until an enemy closes to melee range and there isn't a wall in the right position to hit them ''without'' blasting yourself, too.

* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:After defeating [[FinalBoss the Summoner/the Harbinger]] and clearing Dante Station / Beyond... the marine doesn't get to go home. But he can (and does) vow to make the demons [[TakingYouWithMe sorry that they ever heard of him]].]]
-->[[spoiler:'''The Marine:''' I know I’m not going home...but at least I’ll take these demonic fuckers down with me.]]

* BringIt: The marine often says something to this effect when facing Exalted enemies... that is, when he's not saying something along the lines of "ThisIsGonnaSuck". Either way, the extra dialogue serves to warn players that they're facing an EliteMook.

* ChunkySalsaRule: The Nightmare update introduced this as an effect if the player [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill deals enough damage over an enemy's max health]] - and on the [[HarderThanHard Nightmare]] difficulty itself, is ''required'' to permanently kill organic enemies.

** PoisonousPerson: Toxic Fiends, Toxic Reavers and Toxiberi can throw corrosive projectiles that inflict the toxic status. Their poison lasts for multiple turns as well, often requiring the use of medkits to get it off unless you have a means of protecting against it like a gas mask, the Toxicologist trait, or a relic that protects against toxic effects.

* EvilVersusEvil: Several floors of Io and [[spoiler:Dante Station]] pit [[spoiler: unpossessed CRI Marines and their 'bots]] against the demons. Make no mistake, they'll still gladly drop everything [[GangUpOnTheHuman to ventilate you]].

* RocketTag: Per the tagline, ''Jupiter Hell'', while being turn-based, is ''much more faster-paced'' than a lot of roguelikes, in keeping with translating ''Doom'''s fast-paced nature to a turn-based RPG - enemies die quickly, there's less emphasis on status effects, overall game length (even on a winning run) is towards the "coffee break" end of the scale, and moving/taking turns are instantaneous.

** "You idiots are gonna pay for shooting up my -- !" was obviously meant as a reference to VideoGame/DukeNukem3D.

* TakeThat: The Early Access launch trailer at the end claims that the game is available exclusively on Epic Store... "HAHA, just kidding!"

* RareGuns: ADV weapons, which would be called "ego" weapons in more old-school roguelikes. They all have one (or more) random buffs compared to standard gear of their type, and can be modded even further. There are also exotic and unique weapons, which can all have properties beyond what mods and ADV buffs can grant.

* BoringButPractical: The 9mm auto-rifle. Its decent accuracy, reliable damage, and plentiful ammo will see you through a good chunk of the early game before it's replaced by more specialized or hard-hitting weapons.

* FreakinLaserBeams: Archmedusae, the Guardians and Sentinels of Dante Station, and [[spoiler:the final phase of the Harbinger]] can all bust out lasers on you. And all of them ''hurt''.
