The demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of a famous 1993 FPS shooter. Read that again, let it sink in. The lore might be a bit confusing at first, but it all makes sense. First, there was that legendary hell-shooter from the '90s. Then, in 2002, came a turn-based fan project that reimagined that chaos as a roguelike - fast, brutal, and built for coffee breaks. And players saw that it was good. For 14 glorious years, it brought turn-based carnage to a devoted fanbase. Then, in 2016, came the un-making. The hell-hordes of lawyers descended on the game and all that was left was three letters D R L . Was it still good, though? Hell yeah. And then, in 2019, came Jupiter Hell . The modern(ish) remake. Still with us? Remake of the unmake. The year is 2024, and it's sure as hell time for the story to go full-circle with another demake. Jupiter Hell Classic , the demake of the remake of the unmake of the 2002 legendary roguelike that proved fast-paced action belongs in a turn-based RPG.
