Double D got me very surprised, initially I though that the side games of serious sam would be very unpleasant
storywise/gameplay but doubting again made me realize how good it is.
Gameplay
A platform shooter with unique abilities and variety of levels in 3 acts of the game, I'm reviewing the remaster version of double d and to be honest I was very surprised that this game got a remaster from the same devs that made the original in 2011. A very unique mechanic is how you can upgrade your weapons and combining everything in a gun shack seems amazing to me, and also so many new enemies were added to change the classic ones to provide variety and the jump pad must be the most useful thing in the whole game, alongside with the CO-OP mode.
Story
The gameplay is fine as heck, so what about the story?
Sam is being sent back in the ancient egypt being informed about mental's reinforcements operated by General Maxilla.
Netricsa was a bit in clouds thinking that sam already killed mental but that was a lie told by sam, in the first map your boss is a huge chimputee, after killing the boss sam finds a crystal that needs to be investigated by netricsa but it had to be destroyed by sam.
Sam was teleported to somewhere in canada (lol) but in a ancient time, after destroying the first crystal sam encounters with a huge female biomecha but upon destorying the crystal it does not teleport sam, weird enough another boss approaches that being a huge hamster known to be mental's one and again sam wins and gets teleported to pompeii, where a huge vulcano is about to start erupting and he finds out immediately that mental's force are there so there must be a plan there. While the vulcano is erupting huge fireballs are dropping from the air but sam is being saved from a large fly while being chased by lava golems. After that Netricsa tolds sam that mental's evil plan is about the vulcano and sam had to escape. After escaping and going to the surface he meets general maxilla the leader of mental's army. While he's being challanged by the general to fight him for the last time while the general sent his army to kill him, funny enough the general sucked in battle but he summoned double diva, a giant female with a big knife a large boots. Upon killing her sam gets the last crystal and the game ends.
Conclusion
Underrated, if you love platform shooters you gotta try this.
Currently as of writing this I'm trying to play all the non-canon SS games on steam so yeah this was a good discovery.
