Serious Sam Fusion 2017 (beta)

My wife said if this review gets 50 likes and 5 awards, she will buy a case of beer, guys help me out.

I love the fact that it spawns multiple enemies and keeps you on your toes. Its also a beautifully rendered game

kleer.

Great if you're a Serious Sam fan but proceed with caution All the games are good if you're a fan of that genre but don't expect the polish of Doom or Wolfenstein. However they're all worth a go and this is the best way to experience them. BEWARE* SS3 absolutely has the worst final boss in the series and there is zero shame in checking a guide for that tedious monstrosity.

peak

shame its never getting finished

TFE, TSE & SS3 all seem to play better using Fusion than separate, so go for it!

Fun with friends

Serious fun

Wonderful Game! Too bad its so obscure I'll sound like a weirdo talking about it.
I hope one day this series will get a Seriously Insane budget and make one of the BEST boomer shooters out there.

Sam when he is Serious or something

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

serious sam fusion 2017 (beta) god 11/11

I really appreciate what the team had did for all the older games in the series. Everything from gameplay to graphics feels alot more refined, but its not to the point where it doesn't feel like the original or is like another game entirely. This is what a good remake should strive to be.

For me, there were literally no bugs other than with launching the game for the first. I forgot how exactly I solved it, but I think it had something to do with re-downloading some redist in the game folders and fully restarting steam.

Its a shame development already ended a while ago, I still really recommend getting at the bare minimum buy the HD first encounter to try out the fusion remake, by far the best version of the original in my opinion.

This is the way to play SS1 HD and SS3. The original versions don't run well, this does.

Wow does this game take me back. The coop is second to none when playing the computer. I have so much fun playing this game. My best description is that it is pure mayhem! There's times where I forget to blink and I have my eyes watering because I don't blink. I don't want to miss any of the action.
Ok now the bad news. A few people like to kick me from their(?) server. No reason that I no of. Today I was voted off and banned? I believe most are UFO servers. I asked those that were playing if they know they can make server private so I don't have to go through this bull shit every time. So don't get discouraged if you get kicked. Who can get mad at a bunch of punks that don't know how to operate their server?

Sam I am

Why so serious, Sam?

Great shooter but we couldn't play the mods together.

game so good it makes me wanna kms

I always ignored this game because I thought it was a prototype demo for a cancelled Serious Sam game or something. Turns out it's the First & Second Encounter HDs and BFE all in one game with updates. It's great! Works well on Linux too.

I saw online that most people recommend playing these games through here rather than their standalone versions. I would agree as best I know.

I wish it had the non-HD versions and SS2 as well, but no biggie.

Since the first release of Serious Sam, I've been playing the series. Even Serious Sam: The First Encounter finds its way off my shelf every few years for another run. You could safely say this game is an evergreen classic among dismemberment and mass-horde (co-op) shooters.

Recommendation: Play it in co-op!

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 - The Ultimate Compilation! 🎮💥
I’ve been a fan of the Serious Sam series since 2002, and I’ve played the earlier versions countless times! ❤️ My love for this franchise runs deep, and I was thrilled when Serious Sam Fusion 2017 was announced. This version combines all the classic titles into one platform, making it easier to enjoy the entire series in a modern format. 🚀
The Fusion project was launched by Croteam to unify all the Serious Sam games, providing a host of modern amenities and performance improvements. 🌟 With features like split-screen support, controller compatibility, and enhanced graphics, it’s a must-try for any Serious Sam fan! The game runs smoother and looks cleaner than ever before. 🖥️✨
One of the best aspects of Serious Sam Fusion 2017 is its centralized access to content and mods. You can easily jump into any game within the series without having to adjust your settings every time! 🎉 Plus, the workshop is filled with hundreds of mods and maps that add even more value to the experience. 🗺️🔧
However, I still need to find some time this year to dive into it with Pouria and see if we can complete everything together! 🤗 With my busy schedule lately, I feel like I'm drifting away from my beloved Sam. 😔
If you’re a fan of fast-paced action and chaotic gameplay, Serious Sam Fusion 2017 is definitely worth your time! It’s the ultimate way to experience this iconic series! 🎊
Current Date: Monday, February 03, 2025, 7 PM +0330
I’m looking forward to playing with Pouria and exploring all that Fusion has to offer! Let’s see if we can make it happen! 🌟👾

While the classic versions of TFE and TSE are better than the HD versions, this has workshop support, meaning easy access to levels and mods. Dead enemies have weird physics but that's not a big deal.

I especially enjoyed the mod "Serious Sam BFE: Redux" by SeriousAmaro. It has way better pacing than the original SS3, turning a mediocre experience into a great one.

i like my suitcase

The best fusion of all!

It's cool to have all the Serious Sam games in one place, and all of the old ones have been remastered and are excellent. Highly recommend for Serious Sam fans or the FPS old school genre fan in general.

relentless fun

* Play Serious Sam 3, Serious Sam HD TFE & TSE, and Duke Nukem through this game-hub with OpenAL sound option.

which one is this one again?

They changed everything, Ruined the physics, and made the final boss in SS SE way too easy, battle was over in 1 minute 30 seconds and I got my ass kicked on the previous level.

very good game

I'm surprised I never reviewed this sooner. Fusion is truly awesome, there are a ton of mods to play and use, and the engines better as well. I have forty hours on this game making it my second most played Serious Sam game. My first is Serious Sam 2.

Croteam rules

I won't make the usual detailed review this time since I didn't spend too much time with this version. I'm just at the end of my run of SS HD FE & SE, SS2, SS3 and all the DLCs. I had so much fun with those games and I wanted to take a look on Fusion. I only played the first level of each campaign, but it looks so good! It plays very smoothly, it was so hard to put it down and I'm really sure I'll come back and do a Completionist run on this game at some point. The Achievements look fair this time by including only a few Multiplayer ones. In terms of graphics, the lighting is vastly improved, including the shadows and even the textures are much more detailed. It is really great to play through all the campaigns in a single game and I was happy to see the intro of the Second Encounter again. It is missing from the HD edition, but was part of the original CD release which I still have on my shelf. I tried the Vulkan renderer which runs smoothly, but I had some strange and extreme mouse lag with it. I didn't try DX12, but DX11 runs really well. Stable 240 FPS in each campaign on Ultra settings, 1440p with a 3080. Okay.. I wasn't that brief this time either. I hope it will be useful for someone. Try this edition of Serious Sam!

Ozbiljan Sam.

Fun game with a ton of content and modding support

It's worth a try and better than Gorn!

this is getting serious

Quite fun in co-op. Too bad it's abandoned in beta stage. But I haven't seen any bugs yet.

This game is much like Serious Sam: Classics Revolution where it is meant to be a platform in which you can play any of the Serious Sam games that are in the Serious 3.5 engine, like Serious Sam 3 and the remakes of the classic Serious Sam games. It's even free just like Classics Revolution. You also don't need those games installed for this game to automatically mount them if you own them on you account, which is good for storage space. Do note that there is VR support but that's purely optional and, yes, this game is in a perpetual state of being in Beta but it is perfectly playable with little to no game breaking bugs present. That's about it, really.

Classic Serious Sam action and extensive mod support.

Ah not my type but I don’t want to ruin game’s and Croteam’s reputation

super igrica

it has so many bugs likely moving or clip inside tree or even monster clip inside them so im not recommend to play it and also lag spikes even i had gtx 1650 and around 100 fps+

Great game.
My favorite part was when he said: This is getting Serious Sam Fusion 2017 (beta) and Sammed all over the place.

yes :coolsam:

Sam is serious
