It's the fourth installment in the Serious Sam series.The game is a prequel set during Earth's final days attempting to repel Mental's invading hordes. Humanity doesn't yet know how to activate the Time-Lock, and Sam has been sent in with a team of EDF redshirts to find a scientist who might know. Things go rather sour from there.The game has a more realistic look than the other games, with Sam returning to mow down hordes after hordes of monsters with an array of different weapons. It also takes hints from modern shooters with additions such as melee kills, iron sights and sprinting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In order to promote the game, Croteam picked up three indie companies who created SS games: Mommy's Best Games created Serious Sam Double D, a side-scrolling shooter, Be-Rad Entertainment created Serious Sam Kamikaze Attack, a Perspective Flip where players control a Beheaded Kamikaze hellbent on killing Sam, and Vlambeer created Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, which is basically SS reimagined as a Role-Playing Game.In 2017 the game received the VR treatment; this version was released as Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE.Followed by Serious Sam 4, another prequel.

Cherry Tapping: Ripped out hearts or skulls can be thrown at enemies for a minor amount of damage. In addition to small damage, the attack is delayed and rather inaccurate. Killing an enemy that way yields an achievement.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Compared to the rest of the series. A more somber tone, more gore and violence (though that was to be expected), a more serious story and retcon of the Sirians to be serious. On the other hand, Sam and the in-game jokes help keep the mood surprisingly light for the most part.

comment
In the Back: While in-game Sam getting attacked from the back would spawn enough entrances to guarantee an own page, there are some more notable cases: Hellfire meets her end after being attacked from behind by a Gnaar who then proceeds to taunt Sam. This is the modus operandi of the Cave Demons, who will wait strapped either to the back of a column or a wall until Sam has their back turned in order to leap-attack him.

Non-Mammal Mammaries: The game provides a plausible explanation for the Scythian Witch-Harpies having breasts despite being a bird-like species. The Harpy's datafile indicates the breasts are non-functional, and are merely an evolved form of predatory mimicry for attracting primate prey (i.e. horny men).

Anachronism Stew: Sam flies around in Blackhawk helicopters between missions despite said helicopter design, by the time the game takes place, being more than a century old. Egypt looks pretty much like how it looks today (but more blown up), and the ruined cars that dot the levels appear to be early 1990s Peugots, which would be equivalent to a modern city being full of Ford Model Ts.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Melee attacks. When in sufficient range of most enemies, pressing the melee button will cause Sam to pull off an awesome One-Hit Kill, like breaking a Cloned Soldier's neck, pulling the head off a Kleer, stomping a Hatchling Spider, tearing a Gnaar's eye out, ripping a Beheaded Rocketeer's heart right out of its chest or decapitating a Scrapjack. These moves, while awesomely gory, take a second or two to pull off; this doesn't sound like much, but being immobilized for any amount of time in a game built around circle-strafing is bad news, leaving you vulnerable to the non-stop Zerg Rush of all the other enemy classes attacking you at the same time. Plus, all of the enemies that can be killed with melee can also be killed in one hit with the sledgehammer, which doesn't leave you vulnerable while using it. The only enemy against which it's actually useful is the Hatchling Arachnoid Spider, since it has quite some range against them and very low execution time.

Boring, but Practical: The assault rifle is a bog standard FPS assault rifle (complete with aim-down-sights), but it deals surprisingly decent damage, with 10 or so rounds doing roughly as much damage as 1 rocket hit. Ammo for it is also extremely common, making it a decent all-rounder weapon for most of the game.

Degraded Boss
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_3babae20
comment
Degraded Boss: Most of the early bosses, with the exception of the first Khnum, are only bosses because you lack more powerful weapons, though they at least have three times as much health as the normal mook versions and you fight them in an area that is tailor-made to teach you how the boss's weapon works: The Adult Arachnoid is fought in an area with plenty of columns to take cover from its minigun cannons. Later on, not only he's quicker and easier to take down, but there are specific weapons such as the C4 Explosives that can bring it down in one hit. The Major Biomechanoid is fought in the Ibn Tulun Mosque, and in addition to its increased health, it has the unique ability to sprint. In this battle, the mosque's columns and the central structure are your only covers against the Mecha's rockets, but you'll also have a lot of room to maneuver. Later on, not only the class loses its health and sprinting but also some of its size. Also, like the Adult Arachnoids, certain weapons such as the aforementioned C4 Explosives can bring it down in one hit. The Technopolip Helicopter is fought across an area full of coverage areas, and during the initial phase of the attack is immune to your weapons' damage, as you don't have proper weapons against it. If you didn't find the secret Rocket Launcher, you need to travel to the end of the level and pick up that one so you can bring it down easily. Later fights against it rely on your explosive weapons and it takes less damage to be brought down. The Witch-Bride of Achriman is fought in an area full of coverage, which comes in handy when dealing with her annoying telekinetic attacks. She's also the squishiest of all the mook "bosses", in spite of its increased health. Even still, she takes quite the beating before falling down. The health bar on the first Khnum you fight serves to show you that they're Immune to Bullets. A crate of C4 at the opposite end of the area from when you first encounter the boss provides the best means of taking him down, unless you've really been saving up on rockets and devastator rounds.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: BFE introduces One-Hit Kill melee attacks to Sam's arsenal. Among other things, he can rip the eye out of a Gnaar, rip the heart out of a Beheaded Rocketeer or twist the face off a Scrapjack. Most of these come with ludicrous amounts of blood sprayed all over the camera. If that wasn't enough, he can then toss the newly obtained gib at another enemy - potentially killing it! This nets you the "Useful Trophy" achievement. This gib is also key for several secrets.

Copy Protection: Pirated copies of BFE will spawn a special Adult Arachnoid reserved only for pirates. It's invincible, fast as hell, and utterly annoys the player with its machineguns. When, or rather if, it was bypassed, the player would periodically start spinning wildly while looking upwards at level 5.

Drop the Hammer: Sam's melee weapon for most of the game is a Sledgehammer. It can One-Hit Kill any enemy short of a Kleer Skeleton, and the horizontal and spinning swings can wreck multiple enemies at one time. When going against up to mid-tier monsters, it's a reasonably effective Emergency Weapon.

Gun Accessories: The assault rifle features a vertical foregrip, a flashlight that Sam never uses, and an EOTech reflex sight that zooms in the view and negates bullet spread when used. The shotgun has an empty side saddle that's there just to doll up the weapon, as the gun is fed with detachable box mags. Getting the Deluxe edition adds a sniper scope to the Devastator.

The Cloned Soldiers have damaged skin by acid and temperature as a side effect of the process of their implants. Instead of a head, beheaded soldiers have a "Life Control Unit".

Disproportionate Retribution
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: Picking up a mere 1HP or 1 armor pickup might trigger an ambush with hordes of enemies, some of them being high-tier. The "secret Arc de Triumphe" in the first level requires Sam to walk on a nearby arc, after which a bunch of Beheaded Kamikazes appear and run towards him. The "secret nuthouse" in the fifth level. Pick up a single 1HP pickup, get ambushed by three Major Biomechanoids. Keep in mind, this is in an area too cramped to effectively dodge their rockets, the monster class was an end-level boss in the third level, and unless you've been grabbing secret weapons, you still don't have any decent weapons against them yet.

Disc-One Nuke
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d
comment
Disc-One Nuke: You can get the Single Shotgun about ten seconds into the first level of BFE. The second level offers a secret Laser Rifle if you know where to look, which effortlessly shreds the Major Biomechanoid boss from the third level. It's possible to find a C4 bunch as a secret in the fourth level. It's needed for another secret, but said secret area has an alternate entrance. For the record, C4 can tear down Adult Biomechanoids, Scrapjacks and Adult Arachnoids in one shot. In that same level (and same secret to boot!), Sam can find the Rocket Launcher before he's supposed to do. However, the Technopolip will still be invincible until Sam picks up the Rocket Launcher when and where he's supposed to do, so Sam must still reach the end of the level. The SBC Cannon can be found in the fifth level as a secret, with its proper introduction taking place way later in the game. The Serious Minigun and the Devastator can be found in secrets of the sixth level, "The Secret Riddler", before it's properly introduced several levels later. Their power will help you tear down small squads as well as big foes, though in these levels you'll be short on ammo. In this level you can also find the Sniper Rifle, which is even more rare and whose zoomed shots are capable of one-shooting anything from mid-to-lower tiers from huge distances.

Painfully Slow Projectile: The main reason rockets are not as effective at a range anymore is because most enemies have actually learned to move out of the way of them, which is easy since they're very slow. In addition, 90% of enemy projectiles count. Averted with the Khnums' fireballs, though – their rockets fly hundreds of meters in a fraction of a second.

Arbitrary Gun Power
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_76a83c72
comment
Arbitrary Gun Power: Surprisingly enough for a genre that adheres to this trope, downplayed. The .45 ACP handgun deals slightly less damage per shot than the 5.56x45mm assault rifle, which deals half as much damage as the 7.62x51mm minigun, which deals less than 1/10 the damage of the 16mm Raptor anti-materiel rifle. These damage values are all fairly consistent with these weapons' real-world muzzle velocities (or their equivalents). As a result, several weapons are tremendously overpowered. Played straight by the rocket launcher, which only deals the same damage as the 40mm Devastator grenade launcher despite firing ridiculously huge rockets.note The rockets say "155mm Inferno" on them, and are described as armor-piercing (so likely HEAT); the large single-shot Javelin missile used by the U.S. Army is only 123mm for comparison. The dirt-common RPG-7's rocket, from 70mm to 93mm depending on the warhead.

Boss in Mook Clothing: The Khnum are huge, sturdy foes first fought as a boss. While your regular Adult Arachnoid, Scrapjack or Adult Biomechanoid can go down with just a C4 attached to it, a Khnum takes three of them at minimum, and he has a sprint attack to get near Sam so using C4 or rockets end up being a bit suicidal. Furthermore, his fireball arc is hard to avoid, and he's surrounded by other troops.

Too Awesome to Use: In addition to the Cannon, Snipet Rifle and the Serious Bombs, some of the weapons fall into this as well, due to their pickups giving generally less ammo, encouraging varying weapons more often. Goes double for the Laser gun, as ammo for it can only be acquired in secret areas.

The Alcor Class Warship has some weak points that open whenever the ship is deploying troops and must be shot down as soon as they open, for them are their only attackable points.

Psychic Powers: Witch-Brides have powerful telekinesis, in addition to the standard psychic powers of levitation, force fields, and enhanced durability. Notably, the first one you meet has a short cutscene where it picks up a piece of rubble the size of a small car and uses its telekinesis to crush it into pebbles. As soon as the gameplay begins, she tries the same thing on Sam, but it only does about ten points of damage to him.

Foreshadowing: One of the posters in the secret yard of fame of the first level is "Look behind you, a Three-Headed Gnaar!". Hellfire may not have been killed by a three-headed one, but she should have checked behind her during her last conversation with Sam. After Sam exits the temple in the level "The Last Man on Earth", a Gnaar taunts Sam by claiming that Tah-Um is coming to "moon" him. While Sam initially takes this literally, if you look into the sky you can see the moon clearly visible for the first time in the game.

It's possible to find a C4 bunch as a secret in the fourth level. It's needed for another secret, but said secret area has an alternate entrance. For the record, C4 can tear down Adult Biomechanoids, Scrapjacks and Adult Arachnoids in one shot. In that same level (and same secret to boot!), Sam can find the Rocket Launcher before he's supposed to do. However, the Technopolip will still be invincible until Sam picks up the Rocket Launcher when and where he's supposed to do, so Sam must still reach the end of the level.

Ancient Astronauts: The Sirians. Most evident here, where you find their hidden facilities beneath ancient landmarks, like the Great Pyramid and the ruined cities of Karnak and Luxor. The way their stuff looks would seem to imply that the Egyptians adopted their aesthetic.

Red Shirt: Sam's squadmates in BFE are given just enough dialogue in the opening cutscene to make you think they'll at least play a minor role in the story, then are promptly killed off in the first level. Other than Hellfire, all other human allies that appear later in the game suffer similar "killed-as-soon-as-they're-introduced" deaths.

Convection, Schmonvection: Oddly inverted with the destruction of the Earth. The shattered fragments of the mantle and core are still orange-hot after the Moon shatters the planet, but they visibly cool down within ninety seconds as the credits roll. With no atmosphere in space, there's nowhere the Earth's fragments could possibly vent that heat (the same reason the Earth's mantle is still hot in real life after 4.6 billion years).

 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: During one level, after defeating a wave of enemies, Sam uses one of Duke Nukem's phrases: "Damn, I'm good!". After defeating another wave, he follows up with "Damn, I'm better than good!". The BFE trailer ends with "No cover. All man.", one towards cover-based games. It reappears (in Arabic) as graffiti in the game proper. The Cloned Rifleman/Shotgunner enemies seem to be making fun of "modern military shooters". The "Serious Sam Help Line" series of trailers contain lots of these; at one point the operator tells someone who wants regenerating health to "stop being such a f*** p***".

Sentry Gun: EDF's Minigun turrets. They eschew friend-or-foe technology in favor of sheer durability, so they'll shoot Sam down just as readily as they will Mental's monster hordes; fortunately, their effective range is shown by a laser aiming array, and there's a small grace distance where the turret will aim at Sam in warning but not shoot.

Mook Debut Cutscene
 Serious Sam 3: BFE (Video Game) / int_ca3d2067
comment
Mook Debut Cutscene: The Gnaar, your first enemy, climbs the tower where Sam just landed. As Sam lacks weaponry at this early point in the game, he must execute the Gnaar by ripping his eye out. The Beheaded Kamikazes are introduced in a similar fashion as in Serious Sam: The First Encounter: first a lone kamikaze runs from what looks like a hill, Sam kills it, sprouts a one-liner and then several more appear. The Antaresian Spiders are introduced in an abandoned research facility/museum. Sam is whistling the Spider-Man theme while walking across a hall with suspicious organic structures, and after he finishes, these structures hatch and give place to the creatures they've been holding. The Major Arachnoid appears among some ruins in the second level as a boss. As usual, Sam sprouts a one-liner before and after the fight. The Major Biomechanoid appears in the arena portion of the Ibn Tulun Mosque as a boss, breaking part of the scenery after Sam disposed of many enemy waves. The Technopolip parasite is introduced in the same level, where Sam observes a chopper which was supposed to rescue him being shot down by the aforementioned Biomechanoid. However, after Sam reaches the chopper, it gets invaded by a parasite who Sam must pursue and take down. The Scrapjack appears in the "Unearthing the Sun" level, right at the beginning, exiting the temple Sam is supposed to infiltrate.

Lightning Bruiser: The Major Biomechanoids are a lot faster than you'd expect from their huge size. They can close the distance to you surprisingly quickly, especially in tighter areas. Ugh-Zan IV is much faster than Ugh-Zan III was, largely due to his much longer stride thanks to his mechanical spider legs. In fact even without his regeneration you probably wouldn't be able to beat him without the jetpack, as you simply can't run fast enough to prevent him from just walking over and stepping on you.

Enemies are more accurate, shoot their weapons faster, occasionally hide behind stuff, and can move out of the way of your projectiles - a few enemies (such as the Kleer Skeletons) will even occasionally try to flank the player.

Updated Re-release: So far the game was subjected to the VR (as a free-movement alternative to The Last Hope) and Fusion treatment (which shows the capabilities of the Serious Engine 4).

Call-Forward: Echoing a sequence in TFE, a lone Beheaded Kamikaze comes running over a hill. After taking him out, Sam utters a Bond One-Liner... only for a whole horde of them to come surging over that same hill. Sam's dual Shofield .45's in Serious Sam: The First Encounter are apparently named "Smith" and "Wesson", though they're never named as such in that game. In BFE, however, he calls his brand new SOP38 pistol "Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson"note Yes, that's two names for a single pistol.

comment
Expy: The Scrapjack and Khnum enemies bear a resemblance to Doom's Mancubi and Hell Knights, both in appearance and attacks. The Cloned Soldiers also bear a resemblance to the Zombiemen, being disposable and weak human enemies with hitscan weaponry. Considering that Croteam was approached by Id in order to work on what ended up being Doom (2016), this is hardly surprising. The Khnums can also be considered expies of the TFE enemy Alundran Reptiloid, Highlander, with a little bit of the the Fiendian Reptiloid Demons from Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. They look vaguely◊ similar,◊ are roughly the same height, are both enemies encountered first as a boss and then as a giant mook, and they both use fireballs as their main attack. However, the Khnums are stronger, faster, do more damage than the Highlanders and are Immune to Bullets. Khnums are also two-armed as opposed to the Highlanders' multiple arms, and their fireball attack has an arc pattern instead of being homing projectiles. Likewise, the Scrapjacks also bear a resemblance to the Bull Soldiers from Serious Sam 2, and to some extent, the Zumbuls from The Second Encounter.

Major Biomechanoids are an interesting variation: at close range, you can't dodge their rockets, and they have tons of Splash Damage to shred Sam with.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Although they are meant to be expies of the Mancubus enemies from Doom, the Scrapjacks also serve as this to the the Bull-Soldiers (themselves being substitutes to the Zumbul enemies), who also duel-wield rocket-launchers, from Serious Sam 2. The Cloned Soldiers, as well as being expies to the zombie soldiers from Doom, also serve as this to the Zorg enemies from The Second Encounter. The shotgun-carrying Cloned Soldiers also serve as this to the Zombie Stockbrokers, who also carry shotguns, from Serious Sam 2. The new Antaresian Spider enemies are also this to the Spider Mechanoid enemies from Serious Sam 2. The new Technopolip helicopter enemies are noticeably reminiscent to another helicopter enemy from Serious Sam 2.

It's up to Sam to find the Time-Lock and travel back in time, as current-day Earth is doomed.
