What players say

Players are split on this Serious Sam spin-off. Many say it does not feel like a Serious Sam game, adopting a top-down twin-stick bullet hell format instead of the traditional FPS. The roguelike loop is praised for its early content variety but criticized for becoming repetitive, with a small enemy roster, same boss on every floor, and little permanent progression.
