The difficulty ranges from "unchallenging, but still fun" to "mercilessly difficult, but still fun" with the bullet-hell gameplay always maintaining an intense, hectic feel.

88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is definitely one of the best local co-op games I know of, and is still fun to play solo.
Gameplay

Jamestown offers a number of additional gameplay options beyond the main story mode.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has very nice-looking graphics, an amazing soundtrack, and a story that is compelling, but stays out of the way of the gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The downloadable add-on offered for this game features a small subset of extra weaponry but i would argue that it is purely optional as most players will find progression through the game using the stock offerings is more than sufficient, the games soundtrack is also enjoyable with epic boss battle music.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are pixel sprites and add a charming feel to the game.
