Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony for PlayStation 4

Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony - A Modern Twist on Classic Top-Down Shooter

Jamestown is a four-player top-down shooter developed by Final Form Games. The game takes place in the 17th century, where the British Empire has colonized Mars. The game features a modern approach to the classic top-down shooter genre, as developers abandoned the traditional number of lives mechanic. Until at least one player is alive, they can revive the rest of the party.

The game includes an intense gameplay experience, with handcrafted visuals reminiscent of classic arcade games. Additionally, the game features an insanely flickering screen like in Japanese bullet hell games. The developers used the real Roanoke Colony and its inhabitants as a reference and animated films of Hayao Miyazaki as an inspiration. There are four types of ships, each with two attacks, and 20 additional steampunk levels available for players to complete. The soundtrack and careful work on visual styles put gamers into a trance and create an illusion of full immersion in the world of the game.
