Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony
Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony is a neo-classical, steampunk-themed top-down shooter that's set on 17th-century British Colonial Mars. The gameplay is as intense as any other bulletstorm-styled arcade games but the enjoyment is definitely ramped up with its 4-player co-op mode. Unlike other games where players in a team have a shared health pool, this game not only separates each player's health bars but also allow surviving players to resurrect dead players on the same team. So, this game gives meaning to sacrifices that other team members can make just so at least one member of the team can survive the round.Of course, aside from the unique gameplay, Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony also has tons of fun levels, and even a "Gauntlet" mode which features its 1996 graphics. There are many achievements for you to collect and over 20 challenging bonus levels that will truly put your skills to the test.
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person, action shooter that offers an explosive, bullet-hell-like gameplay on top of an already pretty frantic, arcade-styled shooting action. Kiting the enemies around is a skill you'll need in this game since it doesn't have the sophisticated systems that modern tactical shooters have, like cover or duck and roll. There are plenty of weapons, including a nice selection of melee weapons, for you to carry out your massacre with and you can easily switch between them whenever you like! Not to mention, the game has several new enemy types, including the massive Khnum as well as the massive AND hideous Scrapjack, in addition to the usual ones.Serious Sam 3 also has several game modes, including co-op multiplayer, versus multiplayer along with survival single and multiplayer. If you have your friends around your place, you can even play the game in split-screen mode and yell your heads off together when a monster caught both of you off guard. Best yet, creative players and modders are even given a level editor to play with. New mods or levels created can also be shared to the game community via Steam Workshop.
When it comes to crazy, almost non-stop action, Serious Sam is among the best game franchises to play. Serious Sam 3: BFE is their latest game and thus, it does look a lot better than any of their previous games, but you can still expect the same old (equally exciting) gameplay you've come to love.
