Jamestown+

It just does its style of controlled chaos really well. And if you have a friend or three to play co-op with, so much the better… A Shop Empire Creator: LittleGiantWorld Platform: Browser Price: Free Shop Empire follows a model similar to Tiny Tower, except with instant gratification.

Even if you're lousy at shmups -- a category I definitely fall into -- Jamestown is very approachable, allowing you to slowly hone your skills before you tackle some of the trickier stages. And as Final Form Games' debut title, Jamestown can't be called anything but a fully realized labor of love.

It's really sad how this genre, puzzle games, and brawlers have been forgotten.

Overall, I can see why this game continues to receive updates and ports even eight years after its original release. Jamestown+ is an incredibly well-polished and engaging experience, offering up both a great entry point to the bullet hell genre and a satisfying challenge to veterans. I do wish the game would have explored its wild colonial-history-meets-sci-fi premise more.

If you are a fan of Shmups buying Jamestown+ is a no brainer. The game looks and plays like a dream. The soundtrack is one of the best you will find and having local multiplayer makes this a joy for folks that like to play games with their friends. I do wish this had online multiplayer since not all of us live close to friends we can easily snag up to play. I played this for around 5 hours and I was able to beat all of the stages the game had to offer, but I could’ve invested a lot more time if I wanted to unlock everything the game had to offer and complete all of the challenges, making it well worth the $17.99 price point. If you’ve been looking for a Shmup to test your skills or just a good game to play with some friends, you really couldn’t go wrong picking this up.

Jamestown+ sets out to be a well-made port on the Nintendo Switch, and it succeeds in every way. The game was great when it released eight years ago, and the same holds true today. It’s not often a game retains that kind of staying power, and this is one title that even casual players of action shmups should add to their collections. A Switch copy if Jamestown+ was provided to TheGamer for this review.

In all, it’s a must-buy if you have at least one other person to play it with on a consistent basis. The game changes based on how many players are in at once, and I found the most enjoyable times were when I was playing with four players.

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. * The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company.
