❤ Gameplay Overview

The Fusion 2017 (beta) release brings together several existing Serious Sam games, including Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, and Serious Sam 3: BFE. Players must run, jump, and gun their way through large, open environments, mowing down hordes of outlandish enemies in fast-paced, first-person shooter combat.

❤ Intense Horde Combat

Levels often feature massive swarms of foes, from standard grunts to hulking beasts, charging at the player. To survive, players must employ quick reflexes, efficient weapon usage, and strategic movement to avoid being overwhelmed. Each enemy type has its own attacks and weaknesses that players must learn to exploit.

❤ Weapon Variety and Customization

The game provides an extensive arsenal of over-the-top firearms and explosives, from the iconic double-barreled shotgun to rocket launchers and miniguns. Players can now reload and switch weapons while sprinting, unlike in previous entries. Furthermore, the robust modding support enables players to customize the weapon selection and attributes.

❤ Exploration and Secrets

While the core gameplay loop revolves around intense firefights, the environments also encourage exploration. Hidden paths, optional objectives, and secret areas contain powerful weapons, health/armor pickups, and other valuable resources to aid in the ongoing battle.

❤ Cooperative and Competitive Multiplayer

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 (beta) supports cooperative play for up to 16 players, allowing friends to tackle the campaign missions together. It also features various competitive modes, such as Deathmatch and Capture the Flag, for frenetic, multiplayer showdowns. The Fusion version enables seamless transitions between the different Serious Sam games.

❤ Improved Performance and Features

Compared to the standalone versions, the Fusion 2017 release offers better performance, support for modern APIs like Vulkan, 64-bit executables, multithreaded rendering, and quality-of-life features like improved controller support and customizable sound outputs.
