For those that like playing DOOM and also enjoy rogue/nethack, Jupiter Hell is having a Free Demo Weekend!

Jupiter Hell, roguelike grid-based tactics game, where every step you take is a turn! A modern, yet classic sci-fi roguelike, spiritual successor to D**m, the Roguelike. The epic battle of a lone marine against the forces of hell, taking place on the moons of Jupiter.

A 90's flavored sci-fi universe. 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 popularised a new wave of accessible roguelikes. Distilled, hardcore gameplay, fast-paced challenge and limitless death all await.

I apparently missed this game, from the video on Steam, it looks like it plays a lot like Hairbrained Schemes Shadowrun games.

Added to my wishlist, I'll likely pick it up at some point.

i don't know... i lost a lot of my interest in games when trying to play online and was getting swamped by folks on college highspeed feeds... i wish i had thought weeks ago to push the free demo weekends in this medium... there's been three of them so far but since Early Access is coming up on Aug 1st, there'll be no more, AFAIK...

all i can say about the game play is that it is definitely turn-based... it and the enemies move as fast as you do... if you stop and sit for an hour, so does everything else...

it is also grid based like original rogue... every level is procedurally generated so the game is never the same twice... the fantastic 3D graphics easily mislead you into thinking it is a realtime game but it is not...

the voice work done by Mark Meer (male Shepard in Mass Effect; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Meer) is utterly fantastic... the fresh hard rock soundtracks by Roland La Goy are electrifying... this thing just rocks, man... hell, sometimes i'll start the game and drop to a level and leave it alone just to let the music play :P

Added to my wishlist, I'll likely pick it up at some point.

excellent! it is greatly appreciated :)

one might also take a look at their other games, too... D**mRL, DiabloRL, AliensRL... find links to them at https://chaosforge.org/

i don't remember if i have posted it here or not but there's a new Early Access Trailer out now, too...
