Gameplay

Serious Sam: Tormental is another spin-off of the Serious Sam franchise; It's a 3D roguelike with low-poly graphics that's quite fun with good mechanics.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
Discussing the positives, the game mechanics, like melee, are well implemented, being risky at the same time as rewarding, or like the spikes in the game, which can be used to bait enemies, creating a well-implemented environment.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
Anyways. all this fun loop stuff is accompanied with catchy music, cute graphics (and kinda stuttery optimization where there's a lot of things happening on the screen at once).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack was composed by Damjan Mravunac just like most other entries in the series, who once again knocks it out of the park.
