About this game

The glorious high-definition (HD) chaos from The First Encounter continues now in Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, a remake of the classic arcade FPS Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, which originally scored an overall of 85% on Metacritic and was awarded Game of The Month on Gamespot!

Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter includes spectacularly enhanced visuals and more special effects like Hippy and Kid’s mode, with trademark frantic Single-play, newly developed Survival and Beast Hunt modes, along with all time favorite Cooperative play. Combine those with intense Versus and Team modes for up to 16 players and in over 18 multiplayer maps, Demo Recording option, Spectators and Dedicated Server support, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is a worthy successor to the original masterpiece.
