Serious Sam's Bogus Detour

Serious Sam's Bogus Detour turns the series into a pixel-art, top-down action shooter. As Sam, fight through Mediterranean locations, biological weapons labs, and moon bases.

Battle large groups of enemies with a varied arsenal, dodge incoming attacks, and explore levels for keys, secrets, and upgrade points.

Earn experience and use upgrades to improve Sam's abilities and weapons. Play the campaign solo or cooperatively, take on Survival and Versus modes, or use the editor and mod support to make custom content.

Players who enjoyed the game often praised its pixel-art presentation, lively top-down shooting, and co-op play. Some also liked the weapon selection and soundtrack. Common frustrations included large levels with key hunts and no map, plus difficulty and limited lives or checkpoints that could make a failed run mean replaying long sections.
