Jamestown + now out on Steam and Switch , 73% off if you own the original, 17% launch discount on PC

[Naga]

8 years in the making, features:
- remastered soundtrack
- new ships and weapon systems
- two new levels
- tons of various improvements (balancing, UI, art, etc)



For those that never played it (been in plenty of bundles and sales), it's a really beginner-friendly shmup from 1 to 4 players, in a unique setting (steampunk in space), and with really nice pixel art and music. Really recommend it!

This is a good game.

Interested in how different the main game is though. Not sure if I wanna rebuy it.

 

[AnimeJesus]

Looked it up:

What do we mean by "+"?:

• Two all-new, handcrafted levels set on Phobos & Deimos, the moons of Mars.
• New ships: Brave the horrors of Mars with several powerful new ships and their unique loadouts, including Treason's powerful fusillades of homing missiles, Ghost's mighty close-range Excalibur and shadow double, and The Armada, three new configurable characters allow for 36 possible weapon loadouts, allowing players to craft their own playstyle.
• Countless improvements large and small, including new background & enemy artwork, level layout adjustments, bullet pattern tweaks, and a completely scratch-built user interface.
• The original soundtrack and sound effects have been carefully remastered for 5.1 surround sound, powered by the all-new Gorilla Audio engine.

Seems fairly substantial

For some reason, I thought the enhanced version had come out a long time ago. I remember the original version being a solid game so I might double-dip.

How is this game structured? Is there persistent upgrade stuff or can it be played like an arcade game?

 

[Easy_D]

Jamestown fucking ROCKS. Fantastic art, great shmup in general and the soundtrack is fucking outstanding. Well worth your money I'd say.

Edit: Just listen to this fucking title screen theme

 

[Mobyduck]

I remember playing this when it released. Didn't know they were making an enhanced version. It was already great, so I imagine it's even better now.

 

[Hybrid Rainbow]

Holy shit I haven't played this game in years. Wish you got a discount on the Switch if you owned the PC version (yeah I know not feasible but still).

It did but it was only in the PS4.

I assume the discount is for previous steam owners only to buy the new steam version. I bought it from GamersGate 8 years ago; it would be cool if there was some way for me to prove that but I don't think there is.

Fun game, similar to DoDonPachi with the two different weapon types.

It's 17%off on Switch too btw, until the 18th

It's great for the little I've played. I also own the PS4 version and can't spot any difference between the two so far.

Brilliant shmup, don't sleep on it.

 

[Deleted member 36578]

Man I played this so long ago. Great shooter

 

[MrBob]

73 percent off discount for existing owners? Sure I'll bite

 

[Smash-It Stan]

whats the difference between this and the ps4 port in 2015?

 

[LakeEarth]

Any fan of shmups should play this.

It is the PS4 version as far as I know. The PC version was just stuck as the original the whole time.

 

[Cels]

oh...the discount only lasted a week.

 

[Allyougame]

Jamestown+ is on sale for 50% off ($8.99 USD) on the Nintendo Switch until March 26th, so not much more than a day left. Hopefully giving a heads up to anyone interested.

I picked it up yesterday and it's delivered on every lofty expectation I've long had for the game, finally playing it now. What a delight so far, great job with the Switch port.

 

[Portmanteau]

Fucking love this game.

 

[giallo]

I'd never heard of this game, but it looks fantastic. I'll download it today.

 

[giallo]

So, I've been playing Jamestown, and wow. How did I not know about this game? It's like my dream shooter.
