Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony - pretty sweet indie shmup

[Rooster752]

I just finished playing Jamestown, and it's a pretty awesome retro shmup for those into that kind of thing. Huge bosses, 4 player action and a wacky story set in the 17th century where the New World is actually on Mars. It doesn't bring a ton new to the table in terms of gameplay, but if you like old school shooters, definitely check this one out.

Looks nice.

Yeah, picked it up during the Steam Summer Sale, ended up being one of my favorite games I got during the sale. It's a really well done bullet-hell shooter, surprising from a western dev.

This is on sale for 5$ at.... greenmangaming i think. Either that or gamersgate.

I can vouch for the game as well. I've played it way more than I thought I would. Rather than tell you why I like it, I'll just point you to Giant Bomb: http://www.giantbomb.com/jamestown/61-35611/reviews/
