Indie Royale presents the Serious Sam lightning deal
Indie Royale is hosting a lightning deal over a span of 100 hours, serving up five indie titles from one niche franchise -- Serious Sam. The Indie Royale lightning deal includes Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Serious Sam Double D, Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack, The First and Second Encounter and the world premiere of Serious Sam: The Greek Encounter, an 8-bit top-down demake.These indie homages to Serious Sam launched alongside Serious Sam 3: BFE last year, each taking a different approach to revamping the franchise. The Indie Royale lightning deal marks Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack's premiere on PC, previously being a mobile title. As with all Indie Royale deals, the earlier you buy, the cheaper the minimum price -- although people paying more than the minimum can bring down the price for everyone. So don't put down those scissors or those bombs, and run like lightning!
Portabliss: Serious Sam Kamikaze Attack (iOS/Android)
Did you know that you can download handheld games now? That's amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy -- and that's where we come in, with our Portabliss column. In each installment, we'll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Today: Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack. I've never played any of the Serious Sam games, so I approached Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack without the benefit of context. So, to me, this iPhone game is about a heroic, headless man in boxing gloves who runs and kicks missiles until he can tackle a guy in a white t-shirt, at which point he explodes. I'm having a hard time believing that this makes sense to other people. Despite the total insanity of the premise ... OK, because of it ... I'm really enjoying this game. As a Headless Kamikaze enemy, you auto-run through short levels, jumping over and kicking obstacles like cacti, frogs, missiles, and bouncing bombs. As you progress through the level, you run with increasing speed, unless you pick up a slow-down item. The goal is to tackle and blow up Sam at the end of the level, who is running away from you. However, that goal isn't really the goal. Each stage has a "bonus objective" usually involving destroying a specified number of a certain obstacle -- "kick 15 frogs" -- before you reach Sam. In these cases, you may actually want to delay reaching the end of the stage. It's kind of neat to break what feels like a "run forever" Canabalt-style game into discrete, short levels. Well, it's either neat or entirely missing the point, but I happen to like the change of pace. I also like the cold shock of being dropped into this world. Are all the Serious Sam games this weird?%Gallery-134562% Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack is available from the iOS App Store as a universal app for $.99, and from the Android Market for the same price. We're always looking for new distractions. Want to submit your game for Portabliss consideration? You can reach us at portabliss aat joystiq dawt com.
Serious Sam Kamikaze Attack hurls a new trailer our way
It's not often in life that the downtrodden get to savor the sweet taste of justice, but in Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack that's the entire game. The only problem is the downtrodden die at the end!
Play as Serious Sam's worst enemy in Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack
In Serious Sam, there is perhaps no enemy more terrifying than the Headless Kamikaze. It's easy to hate the screaming, bomb-wielding villain, but it's important to remember that he's a person. A freaky, headless person, sure, but a person. This fact is illustrated by the new Android and iOS game Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack. Developed by Be-Rad Entertainment for the Serious Sam Indie Series, Kamikaze Attack tells its story from the perspective of a Headless Kamikaze, as he desperately attempts to explode the iron-jawed hero. Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack is scheduled to be released before the end of July.
