And there are some new ones thrown into the mix such as the pesky Vampire. Pretty much all of Sam’s iconic adversaries make a return, from screaming Beheaded Kamikazes to the four-armed Aludran Reptiloid. But Serious Sam 4 ramps the action up to eleven. You make your way through environments, hordes of Mental’s monsters materialise and attack you, and you use whatever you’ve got to put them down.
Though as usual, the real star of Serious Sam 4 isn’t Sam or his new friends it’s the insane action that unfolds over its 15 or so levels.įundamentally, this is the Serious Sam we all know and love. They primarily seem to be there to facilitate more of the series’ typical toilet-bowl humour and one-liners, and they achieve it with a aplomb.
It feels weird, a Serious Sam game actually having a story with cutscenes, and while the animations of its primary cast of characters aren’t particularly impressive, by the end of the game you have warmed to them. Although he does have some backup this time around. Mental’s hordes have spread across the world, and it’s up to Sam to stop them. That’s right: it’s a prequel – though one that finds Sam “Serious” Stone in a predicament we all know too well by now. It may have a 4 at the end, but Serious Sam 4 takes things back to the start. Seriously, I’m surprised it’s not called Serious Sam Zero.
