Serious Sam BFE: Redux

Disclaimer: Please comment in English and report bugs in the dedicated thread, thank you!


Serious Sam BFE: Redux was born as a personal way to express the potential of the original BFE without changing key elements and the nature of the campaign itself. Added secrets, easter eggs and coop-only content also gave me a way to introduce some personal moments and ideas into the mix.

Main features

1. Reptiloids as well as Sniper and Laser in progression;
   
2. Slightly earlier weapons, enemies, and a Jetpack introduction before the boss;
   
3. Difficulty balance, reworked ammo economy and some revisited sections;
   
4. Clean starts: matching weapon/ammo are confined in the same levels' secrets;
   
5. Coop: +2 new wacky/powerful secrets, +200 extra enemies per level and regular supply drops;
   
6. QoL: new EST times, removed slowdowns, added searchlights, fixed floating items etc.

• Redux has over 1500 new enemies in total (+2600 coop exclusive enemies), with only level #8 and #12 having less than the original campaign counterparts;
  
• Combining all levels EST, Redux is 2 hours and a half shorter than the original campaign but it's really not: most BFE EST were way too generous in the first place;
  
• Entering a level from the previous one will cut down all the ammo over 50% of max capacity (20% for Devastator, Sniper and Cannon) to allow clean start balance and give all pickups more importance (special thanks to Neiser for the script!);
  
• While still being relatively easy, all bosses have specific resistance and at times increased health;
  
• Fusion BFE has 3 levels that won't spawn all enemies, but in Redux it's easier to do so and actually possible to get 100% kills.

1. Why not Firecrackers and Bombers? After testing, they felt too "modded" and they didn't make a difference in 90% of the battle, making them just more noisy;
   
2. Is Serious Sam 4: Redux next? I started working on SS4 before abandoning it for SS3; I could start again but I'm worried about the amount of work and similitaries with my friend's MattStarChief child: Serious Sam 4: Reworked.
