  • Summary: Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony is a neo-classical top-down shooter for up to 4 players, set on 17th-century British Colonial Mars.

It features all the intensity, depth, and lovingly handcrafted pixels of a classic arcade shooter, with a modern twist: deeply-integrated cooperative gameplay.

    Unlike most top-down shooters, which give multiple players a shared pool of lives or continues, Jamestown does something different. So long as any player survives, the team can be brought back from death. By giving every player the power to rescue their team from the jaws of destruction, Jamestown creates an exhilarating cooperative experience where everyones contribution truly matters. Win or lose, your team will do it together.

    Key features:

    - Blast your way through historic Mars as a crack team of up to 4 friends in local co-op mode
    - Marvel and rejoice at vast expanses of lovingly handcrafted pixels
    - Escape into a fast-paced story of swashbuckling redemption
    - Epic orchestral scores composed by Francisco Cerda, unique to each level
    - Brave the hostile Martian frontier with your pick of 1619s finest steampunk weaponry
    - Master innovative co-op mechanics paired with classical top-down shooter gameplay
    - Test your skills against 20+ rule-bending bonus levels
    - Run the Gauntlet arcade mode, and play Jamestown like its 1996
    - Leverage the unique scoring system to claw your way up the online leaderboards
    - Unlock all 30+ Steam achievements... if you can!    … Expand

    Whether played alone or with friends through local co-op, it’s hard to resist the urge to take to the skies for one more jaunt through Mars’ danger-filled atmosphere.

    In all, it’s a must-buy if you have at least one other person to play it with on a consistent basis.

    This is a great looking game that will remind players of the genre's heyday in the 1990s. And with dozens of items to unlock and a wide variety of weapons to shoot, Jamestown+ will keep shoot-em-up fans happy for many hours to come.

    If anything, it’s a fun little distraction calling back to the classic games of yesteryear. Fans of bullet hell certainly won’t be disappointed.

    It is more than a well crafted homage though; it is a game that links the past to the present in grand fashion and is definitely something you should pick up to pass the time.

    Jamestown+ has a great foundation in that it's an extremely addictive and equally challenging shmup, whether you're playing alone or with friends.

I never played the original so I can't comment on how it improves upon it. There is also a $1.99 DLC pack that adds 4 more ships with unique weapons and 4 additional trophies (one for each ship). Day one DLC, but at least it's cheap and the game is inexpensive too.… Expand

    Jamestown+ is a solid update to the original, but not one that's likely to bring in many new fans.

Incredibly insensitive. Sure, mars is cool and so is alternate history, and we all love bullet hells. But let's not forget that the colonial english massacred countless natives in their "new world". Colonizers are NOT to be made into heroes, and no re-telling of their story should ever paint them in a positive light.… Expand
