Serious Sam Double D upgrades to hex-wielding

Way back in March, quad-wielding seemed like it was the hot new thing. Four guns stapled together was surely a sufficient arsenal to mow down even the nastiest of biomechanical monstrosities, right? Boy, how naive were we? Mommy’s Best Games has added an additional 50% slaying power to the already formidable Gunstacker found in its upcoming alien bloodbath, Serious Sam Double D.

The new contraption will allow you to stack up to six guns into an outreagous tower of destruction, including multiple iterations of the same weapon. The Gunstacker is now comprised of individual connectors and guns that are found throughout the game, and a new inventory system allows you to configure numerous deadly combinations of weapons for the game’s pugnacious, titular hero.

“We wanted it to be excessive–more than any other game (like more than a quad-barreled shotgun in some games) but we’ve already tried out 8 and 12, and more in a stack and it’s … a little too much (believe it or not). We may have temporary powerup or cheat for that though!” developer Nathan Fouts told Armless Octopus.

With 8 to 10 weapons planned for the game and 4 copies of each weapon scattered throughout the levels, there are sure to be some outrageous contrivances. Anyone else looking forward to wielding 4 shotguns and a chainsaw?
