Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony is a top-down bullet hell, with a very authentic 16-bit style.
The story of Jamestown is kind of crazy. You are a prisoner who escapes earth, in order to clear his name. You go to Jamestown - a 17th century British colony, set on mars. The colony is currently being attacked, by the Spanish of course, and so you must defend it.
The gameplay is simple, but well polished. You have a primary and a secondary attack, which are ship specific. And every ship has what is called "Vaunt Mode", this makes you immune for a short time.
Of course, bullet hells are all about difficulty, and Jamestown is no exception. One hit, and you die, simple as that. Therefore, you must stay very focused and use your Vaunt Mode very carefully.
The game can be controlled with the mouse, keyboard, or xbox controller. Its usually played best with the mouse, but it all comes down to personal preference and ship choice.
Jamestown also features local (on the same PC), four player co-op, which can be quite fun, if you can get two, or three of your friends to play with.
The best, or worst part for some people is the 16-bit style. If you love that that SNES feel, Jamestown probably has what you are looking for. If you hate the 16-bit style, then you will hate this game.
I personally love it, and so i love how they used it in Jamestown.
The only problem i can think of, is the lack of LAN, or online multiplayer. But still, this is the first game from "Final Form Games", so i can't criticise them all that much for that one.
To top it all of, Jamestown: Legend of The Lost Colony is a great, top down bullet hell, with a nice 16-bit style.
I hope you liked my review of Jamestown: Legend of The Lost Colony.
