Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack is a game in the Serious Sam series and a part of the Serious Sam Indie Series. It was developed by Be-Rad Entertainment and released on the iOS and Android cell phone OSes on September 15th, 2011. A PC version was released on January 2012. It costs $1.99 USD.
Overview
Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack is a 2D game where the player is a Beheaded Kamikaze and must chase Serious Sam to blow him up. Sam has several weapons, such as a rocket launcher or tossing Serious Bombs, which he will use to destroy the Kamikaze. If they hit the Kamikaze, he will die. The Kamikaze can jump over projectiles, or kick them away if they're getting too close. However, the Kamikaze has a rage meter which will increase whenever he kicks. If the meter gets too high, he will explode, which will take away one of the Kamikaze's lives. If the Kamikaze runs out of lives, the player will lose and have to restart from the beginning. There is also a point system, which rewards the player for things like kicking back projectiles and killing Sam.
The levels take place in locations such as a desert and a forest. There are also challenge levels that test the player's skills, which are good for those that have completed the basic game and want more out of it.
The player can buy and wear heads for the Beheaded Kamikaze, which will change various attributes of him, such as changing the rage meter penalty for when the Kamikaze kicks a projectile away. These hats represent various characters in the Serious Sam series, such as the Sirian Werebull and the Kleer Skeleton.
Plot
You are a Beheaded Kamikaze used by Mental to kill Serious Sam. Your job is to run up to Sam and blow up, killing him. That is it.
Development History
Devolver Digital contacted Be-Rad Entertainment to see if they were interested in creating a game based on the Serious Sam series. They were, so they let them borrow the Serious Sam IP in order to create a game for it. Be-Rad decided to make a game based on being a Beheaded Kamikaze, as it is both an iconic Serious Sam enemy and it can be adapted to a style of game they were already familiar with.
In February 2011, a teaser for the game was shown on Devolver Digital's twitter account. A while later, the game was officially announced.
The game was shown at some game conventions throughout 2011, such as in PAX East 2011 and in the hotel area Devolver Digital rented during E3 2011.
On September 15th, 2011, the game was officially released on iOS and the Android phone operating systems.
Trivia
- One of the hats the player can obtain is a reference to Lame Knight, a game Be-Rad Entertainment has produced.
