“Awesome spider gameplay and mechanics, great potential to go further with a larger player base.”
“I tried to enjoy this game, but generally I just can't. The game is totally not worth the price, and the gameplay itself is just horrible. I was so hyped when I saw a game where I can be a spider, but the hype was totally just hype.”

The graphics of the game evoke a late 90s aesthetic, but enabling ultra settings enhances the visuals to a more modern standard. While the lighting and overall performance are commendable, the character models, particularly the spider animations, are criticized for their lack of quality. Overall, the graphics offer a mixed experience, with some elements feeling outdated despite the potential for modern enhancements.
“The other map reminds me of air rivals... it looks like late 90s graphics, but if you enable ultra, the shaders and other features make it pass for something modern.”
“This lighting and graphics (I'm running this on an Alienware Area 51 with NVIDIA) and the game handles fine in my opinion.”
“The other map reminds me of Air Rivals... it looks like late 90s graphics, but if you enable ultra, the shaders and other features make it pass for something modern. However, there isn't anything to do in it until this spiky thing shows up, which then gives you a tour of a puzzle map. A really cool tower puzzle map... and then you get ported to what you think is another puzzle map, only to find it's actually a PvP arena that has no purpose in solo play.”
“The spider model aesthetics, from my experience, have been very lacking, particularly in terms of rigging and animation.”
“The lighting and graphics (I'm running this on an Alienware Area 51 with NVIDIA) are fine, in my opinion.”

The game's story features an engaging premise where players assume the role of a spider battling other spiders, complemented by five distinct classes and an expansive multiplayer map. Despite being in development and having some rough edges, the storyline elements contribute to an enjoyable experience that keeps players invested.
“A game that is still under development shouldn't be this fun. In this game, you get to play as a spider and take the fight to other spiders. There's five classes of spider butt-kickery to choose from, an expansive multiplayer map, and fun storyline elements. It's still under development, so it has a rough edge or two, but with that in mind, sales and reviews are the only things that will help finish this game.”
