Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Serious Sam: The Random Encounter is a hybrid of a role-playing video game with turn-based elements and a bullet hell game. The gameplay is split into two parts, world exploration and battle sequences, in a style similar to Japanese role-playing games. In the former, the player sequentially traverses nine confined areas, distributed across three thematic worlds. Initially alone, protagonist Sam "Serious" Stone teams up with the mercenaries Bam and Bim over the course of the game. Every few steps made in these levels, a random encounter occurs, initiating a battle. In these, the player characters appear to the right of the screen, while a horde of enemies approaches from the left. The player chooses for each character to either fire their equipped weapon at the enemies, swap that weapon for another, or use an item. When firing a weapon, the player determines how it should be used. Revolvers aim automatically, while shotguns have an adjustable radius in which they automatically aim, doing more damage to enemies at close range. Several weapons can have their trajectory angled, most of which fire in a straight line; some fire continuously, while others only have limited shots per turn. Grenade launchers can shoot at a specific point on the screen. When a character switches weapons, they lose some time before firing the newly equipped weapon. Items include additional health or armour for the characters, revivals of dead party members, a "Serious Bomb" that defeats the majority of visible enemies, and a "Kamikaze Bait" that spawns 100 (or more) Beheaded Kamikaze enemies. In each turn, the player characters perform their selected actions, while enemies also attack. Turns last five seconds, after which the player can assign new actions. During a turn, the player may also move the entire party up or down to shift their weapons' aim or dodge enemies and their projectiles. Individual enemies have different attack styles. Characters take damage when hit by an enemy or projectile and die when their armour and health are depleted. Should all party members be dead at once, the battle ends, with the party losing a life and being reset to its position prior to the lost battle. Should the player lose all of their three lives, gameplay pauses and the active level is reset. Battles end normally once all enemies are defeated, although additional enemies may spawn during a battle. Battles become progressively more difficult by pitting the player against more enemies. The game includes five boss fights. Through victories, the player gains some experience points that can add up to unlocking a new weapon or item. Further items can be found in chests during world exploration. Levels further include some puzzle elements, such as collecting a key, activating a switch or defeating large amounts of enemies, that the player has to solve to progress. Upon completion of the main game, an endless mode is unlocked, in which the player can play for an undetermined time to achieve the highest possible score.
