    I'm sure the gameplay is fine, but the premise? 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.

    Bin über Resogun auf das Spiel gestoßen. Ist wesentlich schwieriger, macht aber genau so süchtig. Man muss ein bisschen üben um weiterzukommen. Leider nur lokal koop.

    The only disappointment here is that the coop is local-only, but this is a really fun and approachable bullet-hell game with plenty of content. 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 isThe only disappointment here is that the coop is local-only, but this is a really fun and approachable bullet-hell game with plenty of content.

    I never played the original on PC so everything in Jamestown+ is a brand new experience. This game is well worth its price and I will be played for months to come.

    Jamestown+ is a solid update to the original, but not one that's likely to bring in many new fans. If you loved the original's solid mechanics and surprising depth or never tried it, it's worth a shot. If you weren't a superfan, though, there's not much reason to come back.

    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.

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

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