Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony Jamestown scrolling shooter developed and released by Final Form Games in 2011. The game takes place on Mars in an alternate history steampunk 17th century, where the planet is a British colony contested by the Spanish and the indigenous Martians.
Plot
Gameplay
Jamestown features mechanics similar to many other shooters. There are 4 types of ships available, each with a primary and secondary attack, and a "Vaunt Mode" which the player can trigger when enough gold from destroyed enemies has been collected. When this mode is engaged the ship gains a temporary shield, increased firepower and a score multiplier for a limited time, which can be prolonged and increased by collecting more gold.
The game is playable in both regular singleplayer mode and in a local multiplayer mode supporting up to 4 players.
Development
The game was developed in two years by the small indie developer Final Form Games, and financed by the three founders' own personal savings.[3] Cave shooter Progear Hayao Miyazaki , in particular Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Castle in the Sky [3] Roanoke Colony , and includes associated figures like Walter Raleigh , Virginia Dare , John Smith , and Joachim Gans as characters.
Reception
Jamestown and Jamestown+ received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic .[4] [5] IGN called the PC version "an accessible, punchy shooter with some clever mechanics at play and a surprising level of depth hiding beneath the 16-bit surface".[12] 1UP.com [6]
Jamestown was selected as one of the "PAX 10" (a selection of the years best indie games) for the PAX Prime 2011 convention.[17] Humble Indie Bundle 4 on December 13, 2011.
