Jamestown+

Juego de naves estilo Arcade que destaca en lo cuidado que está en todos los aspectos, desde la presentación hasta la jugabilidad misma, que lo hacen perfectamente accesible para cualquiera. Esto es acompañado por un multijugador local con hasta cuatro jugadores bien incorporado y montones de naves para desbloquear. Eso sí: cae en la trampa de bloquear niveles según la dificultad en que se completen, así que si rejugar niveles no resulta atractivo, hay que prestar mucha atención a qué nivel de dificultad elegir.

BEST SHMUP EVER !

Took a little while to get the feel of it, but as a multiplayer experience, Jamestown is awesome. As far as shmups go, I'm a bit of a novice, but my only real gripe here is that visual clarity is not as good as quite a few other games I've played. I've seen worse, though. An the graphics themselves are great. Sound is good. Controls are tight. Level and enemy designs are good. Overall, very solid shooter. Jamestown has co-op in mind at the game's core. Plays fine solo, but really shines with a friend or three. At time of review (7+ hours) a friend and I just finished the last boss, but there's still several challenge missions and higher difficulties for us to work though. Well worth the $18, and even better if you catch a good sale.

Jamestown goes far beyond what you'd expect from shoot 'em up lore, offering a very creative interplanetary steampunk setting. Unfortunately, that was the only thing that impressed me. The game does feature charming pixel art, some unlockable content and a few modes to add variety, but stages are too short, sound design is quite weak and the ship mechanics didn’t really grab me.

It's a staple bullet hell and an admirable successor to classic arcade shooters of the genre

good for coop I guess, but its pretty mid solo

SOOO GUD

Excellent difficulty curve and really what modern shmups should aim to be for the most part. CRT mode looks nice too.

So I finally beat the game. What a pain in the ***. This game isnt bad. The graphics are great. The music is incredible. Boss music reminds me of Predator 1987 and the vibe and quality go back the the RPG hay day on the PS1. The two issues I have with this game. Enemy sprites overlapping enemy fire & all too weak playable ships. Charge shot is your best friend. Bomber is really strong but that requires up close and personal contact. For a game that boarder lines bullet hell, your fire from just about every ship option sucks. The game need more balancing. As I said before the game itself isnt bad, but the task is hella difficult. I wouldnt mind playing this game in a more relaxed pace. Once the game is beaten by the default standards, perhaps the player should be rewarded easy or difficult mode across all maps, so everyone could enjoy the bells and whistles of the game, rather than make it a chore. Not bad a game, but its rough do to weak weapons.

Great shmup, lots of replayability.
