Hyperstrange have released a cinematic trailer for Early Access sci-fi dungeon crawling roguelike Jupiter Hell.
As previously reported, the game is billed as a spiritual successor to popular freeware game DoomRL. Set across the moons of Jupiter, you must take down demons, zombies, and more; armed with a huge arsenal of guns and a chainsaw. The game uses procedurally-generated levels, so every run will be different, including how you choose to build your character.
The new animated cinematic trailer focuses on how Jupiter goes to hell, and how players are thrust into the 90s sci-fi action. The very end also features a little gameplay, so players will know what to expect.
You can find the cinematic trailer below.

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!
