About This Game

Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person action shooter, a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom.

Serving as a prequel to the original indie and Game of the Year sensation, Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam 3 takes place during the Earth’s final struggle against Mental’s invading legions of beasts and mercenaries.

Key Features

  • Frantic Arcade-Style Action – Hold down the trigger and lay waste to a never-ending onslaught of attackers or face being overrun by Mental’s savage beasts. No cover systems, no camping – it’s just you against them. All of them!
  • Fearsome Enemy Creatures – A new battalion of unforgettable minions including the rumbling Scrapjack and towering Khnum join the legendary Headless Kamikaze, Gnaar and Sirian Werebull to create the fiercest opposition you’ve ever had the pleasure of mowing down!
  • Spectacular Environments – Battle across the expansive battlefields of near-future Egypt bursting at the seams with total chaos. The shattered cities of tomorrow lined with the crumbling temples of an ancient world become your destructible playground!
  • Destructive Arsenal – Unleash Serious Sam’s arsenal of weapons including a scoped assault rifle, the double-barreled shotgun, the explosive automatic shotgun, the punishing minigun, and the almighty barrage of flaming cannonballs! Carry all of Sam’s weapons at once and switch between each gun on the fly for maximum firepower!
  • Brutal Melee Attacks – When the going get’s tough, the tough take matters into their own hands! Rip out the eye of a closing Gnaar, twist off the face of the hideous Scrapjack or snap the neck of an Arachnoid Hatchling for an instant kill!
  • Co-Op Multiplayer – Go to war against Mental’s horde with up to 16 players online and annihilate everything that moves across 12 single-player levels of mayhem in Standard Co-Op, Classic Co-Op, Coin-Op Co-Op, Beast Hunt and Team Beast Hunt mode.
  • Survival Singleplayer & Multiplayer – Try to survive alone (offline) against wave after wave of enemies with specially created levels in Survival mode or have your online friends join two teams, fighting both each other and enemies, in the relentless Team Survival mode!
  • Versus Multiplayer – Fight against each other or other teams in various multiplayer versus modes like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, Last Team Standing, Instant Kill and My Burden, along with Team Beast Hunt and Team Survival!
  • Split Screen Modes – Play local (offline) split screen co-op and multiplayer versus modes with up to four players on one screen! It even includes the support for multiple keyboards and mice!
  • Level Editor* – Create your own levels, MODs, textures and other content with the inclusion of the fully featured Serious Editor 3.5!
  • Steam Workshop – Submit your content creation or download new player-created content and modifications for Serious Sam 3!
  • Misc Game Options – 5 difficulty levels, quick-save, auto-save, multiple save slots, 3rd person view, co-op gameplay tweaking options, game controller support, localized with subtitles, parental blood & gore control including hippie mode, various color schemes, tons of advanced graphics options to tweak, cheats, console, Steam trading cards, achievements, leaderboards and cloud and much, much more!

holy crap this game is way better than I thought it would be

so it isn't the most complicated game, you get weapons, you get enemies, you get A LOT of enemies, and you can figure out the rest.

this game reminds me of painkiller, if you ever played and enjoyed the painkiller games (if you didn't like painkiller you need to reevaluate your taste) then this is definitely a game you will like, it is just blind, senseless fun, with a bit of story and jokes sprinkled on top for good measure. also you can change the blood effects between, red, green, hippy, kids, none, halloween. and the melee attacks and animations are very well done

good game. I wish multiplayer was more alive though and there are low ping servers in my area(philippines).

Because of that I can't exactly recommend it unless you enjoy playing solo.

It's funny how this game which was inspired by Duke Nukem in the first place ends up being 100x better than Duke Nukem Forever. If anything, this game should have been the true sequel of Duke Nukem 3D.

Anyway this game is one of the best games in the modern fast paced style first person shooters, and I myself am a huge fan of old school shooters like Doom, Quake 3 Arena and Duke Nukem 3D. In a time when MOBA's, CoD clones and bland mixtures of both, I gotta congratulate CroTeam personally, they made a game that has that old school charm, that old school difficulty, that makes you rage but at the same time the game rewards you for a job well done, something that most modern games threw it away to appeal to a casual audience (well until Doom 2016 came out but that's another review). In other words, this game stands out from all the FPS garbage we have been fed upon ever since the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The replay value is certainly there, the secrets are well hidden. Once again, CroTeam, who were inspired by the fast paced old school shooters, they created a masterpiece.

I do recommend fully that you buy this game if you are into fast paced challenging first person shooters and at the same time tired of the bland modern CoD genre. Seriously, this game is worth every cent.

Serious Sam 3: BFE follows the tradition of its predecessors, First Encounter and Second Encounter, very well.

All the elements of this series are there: the waves of aliens, the weapons and more importantly, the laughs. No other game has given me so many laugh-out-loud moments as Serious Sam: The Franchise.

Considering when the game was released, the graphics still look great. It does look great on a 3840x2160 monitor and the level of detail is impressive. There are several ‘eye candy’ vistas to be had.

Thanks, Croteam!

Take a few hours of your life and play this game. The endless violance, harsh language and extreme action makes you never regret the day you were born. Further more if you have the option to play with your friends i can guarantee that you will be jerking off simultaneously for each and every second you are playing this game.

Seriously hard, even on Normal difficulty.
People, if your framerate is dog excrement, de-activate Multi-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) and set Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing to Ultra for the best framerate.

Uh oh, separate review for the workshop! Watch out, salty kid expressing his opinion!

The workshop of this game is full of anime and Undertale. Basically, Pyrocynical made a commentary with this game as footage and people got nuts over the game, and now cancerous addons are walking on the surface of the game's workshop and breaking it. Oh wait, the surface was already broke? Well, too late!

"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth" -George A Romero

So I suggest you to not touch the workshop and play the vanilla.

This game is like someone's memory of what it was like to play Duke Nukem 3D when they were 12 years old. They remember it being way more over the top, violent, profane, bizzare, and hilarious than it actually was. Like when your dad talks about a fish he caught and exagerates it's size by several magnitudes. When you see a half dozen men running at you across the desert, with their heads chopped off and bombs bolted to their hands, screaming at the top of their lungs as they prepare to kamikaze you, you will understand that this game is that fish, but it actually is just as big as your dad said it was.
