Kleers, Kamikazes) right on top of me as well as Arachnoids in areas with no cover. There is a lot of trial and error involved - the ambush in the western corner of the Ankh Pool courtyard comes to mind - and it can be really annoying at times. Still, it is not perfect, as the game has the nasty habit of spawning dangerous enemies (e.g. I guess I spoke too soon: Hard difficulty seems to be basically what I was looking for.
#SERIOUS SAM 4 SECRETS MOD#
I wonder if there is a mod out there that merely increases the monster population.Įh. making the Kleer shoot homing projectiles. It is worth noting that I was playing on Normal difficulty, but I am reluctant to increase the difficulty, as I read that in addition to increasing the number of enemies, it also makes them more annoying, e.g. Then again, I reckon that it is much harder to keep track of enemies in first-person than in a top-down shooter like Bogus Detour, which I guess reinforces my belief that Serious Sam gameplay is ultimately better suited for that genre of game than a first-person shooter and makes Bogus Detour's flop all the more heart-breaking. However, the large rooms still feel woefully underutilized: despite skipping the secrets, I was never low on ammunition and health and I kept bracing myself for large mobs that (almost) never came. taking places in corridors and small rooms), it is perfectly fine. When the game plays like Doom or Quake (i.e. I deliberately avoided searching for secrets and as such the game felt much less tedious. When you get dual wielding unlocked, you can dual wield your knife and 1 shot a werebull with 2 simultaneous knife slashes.Okay, so I replayed the Karnak demo in Serious Sam HD this morning. If you can't get heashots, 2 body shots with the coach gun, rocket launcher, or grenade launcher take down a werebull.


1 headshot with the rocket launcher also does the job. As for the werebulls, a close range headshot with the coach gun(the SSG looking gun) kills them in 1 shot. 3rd person is something you use occasionally to get a better idea of your surroundings, since it gives you a wider FOV. A gun that's good at dealing with the werebulls when there are only werebulls on the field may not be good when you have werebulls and kamikazes for example.ģrd person is not the way to go. Another thing you need to know is "right tool for the right job". You constantly run around, strafe, and dodge or shoot down projectiles. When it comes to Serious Sam, strafing is the name of the game. It's always been a big selling point for the series.ĭOOM and Serious Sam are completely different, so being able to beat DOOM Eternal on UV or Nightmare means nothing because the skills you learned are non-transferable. And you picked the perfect time to get into Serious Sam as an expansion pack for Serious Sam 4 is planned to be announced this week.Īlso yes there is co-op. Serious Sam 4, optimization issues aside, easily has the best sandbox in terms of weapons and enemies in the series. But once you do mowing down hordes of aliens is super fun. Serious Sam is a unique shooter these days and it can be tough for new players to get used to. They are by far the best ones.ĭon't worry if you're having a hard time as a noobie. When you start getting skill points to unlock skills go for dual wielding, reloading while sprinting, and killing enemies spawns items. Don't waste more powerful weapons on weak enemies or waste time trying to take down large enemies with weak weapons. Keep an eye on your ammo and what gun you're using. Especially for completing the optional side objectives off the beaten path. Look out for ammo, items, and health scattered around the levels. The game heavily uses audio to cue you in where enemies are and how close. Prioritize targets based on threat level and distance. Nor is cover useful that much as enemies will generally always be moving to your position or it's destructible. There is no stealth as once one enemy sees you in an area all do.

Don't be afraid to use sprint to get to a better position. Staying still for too long will get you killed.
