A look at Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony the must-play indie game of the week.
Nineoverten.com writes: "I wish I found out about this sooner but Jamestown is an awesome indie shmup and an excellent lunch-time gameplay experience. I actually bought the game some time ago during one of the Humble Bundle events, but left it idle in my Steam account until recently."
Taking place on the planet Mars, Jamestown is a steampunk-infused colonial history. There are parallels to actual people and events, such as Spanish conquistadors and the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke colony. At the same time, there are laser beams, robots and other fanciful features. All of this is wrapped in beautiful faux-retro dressings.
