Jamestown is a bullet-hell, top-down shoot ‘em up set in an alternate 17th century on Mars. That ludicrous premise helped propel the game when it first launched on Steam in 2011. Now, almost four years after the initial release, Jamestown+ has hit the PlayStation 4 and it feels even better as a couch co-op game that you can play with four friends.
The Switch can always use more quality Shmups. Jamestown + is a great addition to the family. It has the craftsmanship of a classic shmup but with a steampunk twist. Join The Gamers Lounge as check out Jamestown+ and try to figure out why its so addicting.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "If you don’t mind its grindy nature and botched progression system, then I can totally recommend Jamestown+ for its unique setting and production values. It’s not as fast-paced as other shooters, but it knows how to please you by making every single blast you shoot feel powerful and destructive. It also has some great boss battles and a surprisingly decent story, something you don’t see in most bullet-hell shooters out there. Heck, you’re lucky if they even add a plot to begin with…"
Set sail for 17th-century British Colonial Mars in Jamestown+: a cooperative shoot-em-up for 1-4 brave souls, designed to be exciting for players of all skill levels.
