Serious Sam 3: BFE is Croteam's arcade first-person shooter and the prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter. As Sam "Serious" Stone you fight Mental's invading legions across near-future Egypt, from the streets of Cairo to the temples of Karnak and Luxor. No cover, no camping: carry every gun at once and hold the trigger down against Headless Kamikazes, Gnaars, Scrapjacks and the towering Khnum.

Co-op for 16.

Play the 12 campaign levels together, in Standard, Classic or Coin-Op Co-op.

Versus and Survival.

Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Last Man Standing, or waves of enemies in Team Survival.
