A massive map influences your running style like zig-zagging, circuit running or running backwards, and, you have to be very precise with your movements and timing to survive. A smaller level design encourages you to use the world objects like ruins for cover.

The progression from small to massive levels forces you to develop different strategies and techniques for each. The characters in the side objectives also give insights into the developing story and are refreshing to meet, and, more Sam banter is too good to forgo. If you choose not to complete the side objectives you can leave weapon upgrades behind which can make the game much harder so, it’s worth your time. The design in the smaller levels encourages you to explore to find secrets, ammunition, armour and rewarding side objectives.

Croteam implement there Legion System later in the game to process large-scale battles with thousands of enemies on the map. Serious Sam 4 increases the size of maps to open-world scale – although you don’t explore them too much – and the number of enemies. The lifeblood of Serious Sam is the impressive fast-pace with vast amounts of enemies and massive levels. The game doesn’t delve too deep into these bonds but gives it enough attention to draw your interest. Sam’s relationships with the team differ from potential love interests to developing friendships. Each team member has unique personalities and provides comic relief. When Sam and the team temporarily disbanded, Sam is also joined by a French resistance team that help out to kill off crowds of enemies.

The fourth instalment of the franchise goes between Italy, France and Russia. If you don’t want to invest a lot of thought into the story, you can supplement it with a slaughter fest of well-designed enemies. Within the game, it’s a simple plot although, for those of you who’ve followed the franchise or want to dive deeper into the story, it provides ties to Serious Sam 3 and brings back some weapons, characters and enemies not seen since Serious Sam 1. Sam leads the Earth Defence Force and gives what resistance they can to Mental’s siege of Earth. Serious Sam 4 is a prequel to Serious Sam 3 – a nine-year wait, outdoing Doom’s seven-year hiatus before Doom 2 – and dives into the narrative of the Mental War where hordes of Mental’s army are taking over city landscapes and beating the crap out of what’s left of humanity.
SERIOUS SAM 4 MELEE LARGE ENEMIES PC
Serious Sam 4, available on PC and Google Stadia, follows the formula and improves on the Serious Sam engine as well as introducing new systems to improve the aesthetics and increase the scale of battles using the Legion System. Sam’s approach leaves no stone unturned, and, his softer side opens his character arc to relationships and deep thinking. These traits are all enveloped in the main character of the game, Sam Herbert Stone, or commonly known as Serious Sam. They also want you to have a lot of fun and reward you by facing you with challenges that at first may seem way too hard but through practice can be overcome. Tough times demand discipline and innovation and Croteam has used a formula throughout each FPS title that forces players to learn and respect the habits of the AI and “dance with enemies and projectiles”. The Serious Sam franchise – spanning over 20 years – and the team behind it at Croteam has faced many challenges from the war in Croatia, gaining publisher support – thanks, Devolver Digital – and hard financial times.
