I smell an ambush!
While Sam "Serious" Stone is one of those classic wisecracking FPS protagonists, in the vein of Duke Nukem or Lo Wang, don't be fooled; Serious Sam TFE doesn't really play like the classic 90s shooters that may have inspired it. Movement is essential, as is prioritizing enemies, both of which are hallmarks of classic shooters, however most levels are constructed as a series of interconnected and quite literal arenas (some quite massive) where waves upon waves of enemies will spawn. Some levels give respite from this, introducing some more confined interior areas, but by and large the game heavily focuses on outdoors arenas. You will frequently find yourself running in circles and usually backwards, frantically trying to keep a safe distance from the hordes and dodging attacks from the many enemy types that will charge you. It is this level design and the associated gameplay loop that make SS TFE feel quite different from the likes of Quake, Blood or other classic shooters. The reason I'm saying all this is because I often hear SS being thrown into the same category as id software or Build engine shooters and I feel that's only partly justified. The game IS extremely fun, but it's worth mentioning what sets it apart. The roster of enemies is quite diverse and they will require various strategies to deal with. You will quickly learn which enemies need to be your priority. The weapons are also fun to use, they each feel adequately unique, and to the game's credit most of them remain useful to the end. On higher difficulty levels you will be tested and it may become increasingly useful to spend time hunting for secrets (extra health, ammo or armor). The ending, in particular, is quite frantic. All in all, SS TFE is a charming experience, there are more than a few humorous moments and the story doesn't take itself... seriously. As a final note, if you buy this game, do yourself a favour and look for the "Steamify patch" on ModDB.
