Gameplay

The game has similar aspects to that of I Hate Running Backwards and Serious Sam's Bogus Detour, with destructive environments and the ability to dash as well as jump. The player can also finish enemies off by ramming into them with the dash key.

In the first few levels of the game, it starts simple, where the player can learn the basics. Overtime, as the player unlocks more content, the game becomes more complex, with new enemies, bosses, dungeon modifiers, weapons, upgrades, and characters.[1] In each run, the player can gather & combine random gun parts to construct unique powerful weapons.

In the game, there are two main features: the vault and the mindmap. The vault is the final area that contains many secrets and links to revealing Mentalโ€™s true identity, giving the player more goals than just โ€œdefeat the final bossโ€. Here, they will need to beat many challenges in order to stop Mental. In the mindmap, the player can discover hidden ideas inside of Mental's mind, as well as the enemies, weapons, and items is he imagining to use in the real world.

The game includes various challenges for the player to beat. Completely these unlocks new worlds, characters, weapons, and upgrades. Over time, the player will discover new places hidden inside of Mental's mind.

Modes

There are two game modes to choose from in Serious Sam: Tormental; single-player and local co-op. In co-op, players can work together to fight stronger bosses, compete or share XP gained from defeating enemies, and revive each other with ankh pickups scattered throughout the levels.

Development

Serious Sam: Tormental has been in Steam's Early Access Program for around two to three months. This is to give Croteam enough time to add what it has planned, though this is likely to change in the future.[2]
