Serious Sam: The First Encounter

Serious Sam: The First Encounter is a first-person shooter built around fighting massive hordes of enemies in wide-open arenas. You're Sam, hunting down Mental—an alien overlord bent on wiping out humanity. The game drops you in ancient Egypt (with detours to other planets) where sci-fi tech collides with occult weirdness. Expect 15+ enemy types rushing you at once: charging Werebulls, shrieking Headless Kamikazes, and a multi-story boss called Ugh-Zan. Combat's all about backpedaling while unloading rockets and minigun rounds into swarms. No cover mechanics, no stealth—just you, open space, and hundreds of targets. The pace rarely lets up. If you want twitchy arena gunfights over tactical shooters, this delivers that specific thrill.
