Serious Sam has a storyline? I know some of you might be surprised by this development, but if you’ve been following the franchise since its inception, you’d remember NETRICSA’s annoying message pop-ups. And guess what? There was a lot of story content there! Serious Sam 2 also has a pretty in-depth storyline, but we won’t talk about that, since Croteam seems to have forgotten about that title (and Serious Sam 4 is a prequel).
Oh well, I’m going off rails again. Where was I? Ah yes! There’s a new story trailer for Serious Sam 4, where you can see how truly effed up things are for humanity this time around. The game will be out this Thursday, and if you are anything like me, you’ll be hyped for the prospect of ten thousand AAAAAAAAH BOOOMs running your way on that date.
Humanity is under siege as the full force of Mental’s hordes spread across the world, ravaging what remains of a broken and beaten civilization. The last remaining resistance to the invasion is the Earth Defense Force led by Sam “Serious” Stone and his heavily-armed squad of misfit commandos.
Croteam returns with a high-powered prequel to the Serious Sam series that scales up chaos to unprecedented levels. The classic Serious Sam formula is revamped by putting an unstoppable arsenal up against an unimaginable number of enemies that requires players to circle-strafe and backpedal-blast their way out of impossible situations.
HORDES OF INVADERS
The iconic cast of alien invaders returns with some new reinforcements! Fight your way through unbelievable numbers of Mental’s minions including the iconic Headless Kamikaze, Beheaded Rocketeer, Kleer, Scrapjack, Werebull, and Khnum! Square off against brand new enemies and towering monsters like the frantic Processed, repulsive Belcher, the hard-hitting Zealot, and more.
EXPLOSIVE ARSENAL
Armed with a slew of devastating weapons, pick your tool for any situation. Lay waste to Mental’s Horde using the powerful double-barreled shotgun, the punishing minigun, the powerful chainsaw launcher, a brand new auto shotgun, and the iconic cannon. Upgrade your toys, and enjoy the violent beauty of the lock-on rocket launcher, and the mighty laser beam of death.
