New ones include the Khnum and Scrapjack (resembling the Hell Knight and Mancubus from Doom, respectively), as well as the cloned soldiers reminiscent of the Strogg from the Quake series. There are no puzzles, however the player must find keys, pull levers and find environmental anomalies to progress.Ĭlassic enemies such as the Beheaded Kamikaze, Beheaded Rocketeer and Kleer Skeleton return in the game. Some weapons such as the Lasergun and the Sniper Rifle and their respective ammunition pickups are in fact secret-only, and otherwise are not found in the levels normally. Additionally, the levels are full of secret areas, where health, armor, ammo and in some cases, weapons from later levels can be found, following the tradition of the previous games. There is no regenerating health, instead there are health and armor power-ups scattered throughout the levels that the player must pick up. The signature close-combat weapons from the first game, the knife and chainsaw, have been replaced with a sledgehammer with three modes of attack (vertical strike, 180 turn and full 360 turn). There are 13 weapons in total, five of which have a manual reload. The player can carry an unlimited number of weapons, including a minigun, rocket launcher, assault rifle and a cannon. There are also a larger number of enemies that can attack the player from a distance. However Serious Sam 3 has more closed environments than its predecessors, particularly in the early levels. Like previous titles in the series, Serious Sam 3: BFE involves fighting against many hordes of enemies in wide-open environments. The game itself, however, was released one day after Valve opened the beta branch for "Steam for Linux", namely 20 December 2012. The Linux version of the game started being worked on after a high number of requests, where the first Linux-related update was the porting of the game's dedicated server. The OS X support for the game followed shortly after and was released on 23 April 2012. The game was first released for Microsoft Windows on 22 November 2011. The game features a 16-player online, as well as 4-player splitscreen co-op campaign mode. The game takes place in 22nd-century Egypt, during Mental's invasion on Earth, as implied in The First Encounter. It is part of the Serious Sam series and the prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter. In the end, though, the unique look, generous free content, easy installation, and multiplayer gameplay push the scales in favor of Sam Stone.Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person shooter video game developed by Croatia-based indie development studio Croteam and published by Devolver Digital. The goofy platform-hopping mid-mission nearly cost this demo a top rating. Colorful graphics and bright areas are a welcome change from conventional shooters, but a few invisible landscape barriers detract from the wide-open feel of the Seriousopolis Uptown level. Although there's a bit more of a mission-based feel than in the original, the missions are mostly blasting enemies until they're all gone, then moving on to the next checkpoint. However, the environments are impressive, the interface is easy to navigate, and gameplay is smooth even at the highest video settings. The Serious Sam II engine isn't as sophisticated as shooters like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 (which retail for twice as much), so you won't get fancy extras such as rag-doll physics. You just blow away the bizarre foes until you wear yourself out. If you like first-person shooters, but camping in a dark corner for hours waiting for the perfect opportunity to fire a sniper shot through your enemy's skull is your idea of video-game hell, this sequel might be right up your alley.
