Devolver Digital lifted the lid on a new Serious Sam game during today's Xbox showcase, and it's a little bit different from the ones that have come before. Serious Sam: Shatterverse is a run-based multiplayer FPS for up to five players, each of them a Sam from a different dimension, who travel through a multiverse torn to pieces by the villainous Mental and try to put things right.
Serious Sam games have a fairly distinct style: Huge, open battlefields, massive waves of enemies, and a large arsenal of weapons (many of them not particularly practical) with which to dispatch them. They support various co-op and versus multiplayer modes, which are fun if not especially memorable, but singleplayer is the real name of the game—even though the campaigns are really just paper-thin excuses to blast the bejeezus out of everything.
