A nostalgic trip for Serious Sam fans, Shatterverse's action-packed gameplay takes center stage. Yet, it's a mixed bag, with technical issues and content variety concerns emerging.

What it's about: Serious Sam: Shatterverse est un FPS roguelite coop pour 1 à 5 joueurs. Dévastez des univers changeants, cumulez des bonus absurdes, changez les règles avec des modificateurs de run et traquez les forces de Mental. Quand on meurt, on rempile.

« Overhated. It’s a simple multiplayer boomer shooter. Can anyone name another game that does something similar? For $17, it’s fun and mindless. Sometimes that’s all I want from a game. »

« It's a little rough around the edges in some spots but overall it's a pretty fun game. Could use more SS2 stuff but what it has is good. There are a lot of variations of biomes and the music is pretty good. »
