SpiderHeck

Take control of a spider, grab a laser sword and duke it out with your friends in epic battles.

In “SpiderHeck”, eight-legged neon animals jump through futuristic arenas and fight each other with a variety of weapons. There is a survival mode where you try to last as long as possible with only three lives. In addition, there is a challenge mode that will confront you with some especially tricky arenas and a limited arsenal of weapons. Both modes can be played alone or in co-op mode.

However, the best thing about “SpiderHeck” is definitely the versus mode for up to 4 people (online or on the couch). Since the spiders in the game are rather fragile, you need to constantly move during the hectic battles. You have to swing elegantly through the dangerous arenas, dodge enemy projectiles, collect new weapons and finally knock out your opponents. It takes some time to get a hang on the controls, but they allow for a surprising amount of agility.

The game’s concept is rounded off by a nice arcade look with fitting music and a number of skins for personalization. Some weapons are a bit clumsy to handle, but overall “SpiderHeck” is a fantastic party game. It’s easy to learn, but offers enough depth and variety to become a staple in your collection.

Why you should play it:

• Spiders with laser swords.
• SPIDERS WITH LASER SWORDS.
