Serious Sam 3: BFE

Set during Earth’s struggle against Mental’s invading forces, this prequel follows Sam Stone through near-future Egypt. Its story provides a backdrop for the battles, with a light, irreverent tone. Fight through city streets, ruins, and open arenas as waves of aliens attack from all sides. Keep moving to survive, switch between weapons you carry at once, and use close-range finishing attacks against vulnerable foes. The campaign spans 12 levels, with enemies and encounters growing more demanding as you progress. Play alone or team up in online or local split-screen co-op; additional modes include survival and competitive multiplayer.

As Earth falls to Mental’s alien forces, Sam fights across Egypt, dodging enemy hordes and switching weapons in fast-paced battles.
