What the Press Says
“Playing it brings nothing but joy, even when you're dying time and time again. It's fast-paced, frantic and fun, just how a shooter should be. And it's got the brilliant sense of humour that runs though all Serious Sam games. While it's enjoyable when played alone, it's best enjoyed in co-op. So, grab a friend, get them sat on the couch next to you, and run backwards like a maniac. You'll both have a blast.”
“Bright, chaotic in all the best ways, and always surprising.”
“I Hate Running Backwards is a much needed and refreshing tribute to the classic arcade shoot 'em up, that, in spite of a few odd difficulty spikes, is highly addictive and absolutely worth the time spent—and at times lost—to it.”
