It's not a terribly long game, but neither should it be. Kill It With Fire's short gameplay matches its light tone, and keeps the premise from wearing out its welcome. Despite its low stakes, it is high spirited, and about as complicated and deep as it needs to be. If you've ever wanted to upend furniture and mow down a hedge maze just to get a spider, you'll feel personally targeted by this one. It's revenge fantasy chicken soup for the arachnophobic soul.

At the end of the day, Kill It with Fire knows exactly what it wants to be, and succeeds at it in the best way. It's an arachnophobic power fantasy that's just pure, unfiltered fun the whole way through, even if the ride isn't as long as I'd like it to be.

Kill it with Fire serves up a delightful arachnid squishing dish with a side of explosions and mayhem. At the time of the review, however, it was beset by less desirable bugs – not altogether game breaking, but frustrating nonetheless. Otherwise hampered by its lack of content, Kill it with Fire nevertheless entertains quite well.

Kill It With Fire is a great game to walk around and set spiders on fire, while still being challenged by the targets and the Arachno challenge. The spiders can't hurt you anyway, so the difficulty level has to be increased by something else. Although the story remains vague, the different levels and goals are still enough to keep the attention. Most of the upgrades don't add much to the game, mainly because it makes gameplay unnecessarily easier. Fortunately, you can choose whether to buy the upgrades or not and some weapons are easier than others, so you can adjust how hard you want to make the game. Kill It With Fire also lasts as long as you want it. You can go back to redo missions if you missed something or race to the end in one go. Because you can adjust all these options yourself to how you like to play the game, this game is perfect to play after a busy day or when you want to change your mind.

Kill it with fire has a few uniqe elements which make the game fun and entertaining in some aspects, but i can't deny the repetetive gameplay and shortage of mission variety .if you really love oldschool shooters like painkiller, this game can satisfy you.

Methodically wiping out as many spiders as possible in the most excessive ways imaginable is entertaining—how could it not be?—but that would mean little if the rest of the game didn’t hold its own weight. This is where things get interesting; by asking the player to complete challenges in order to reach the real ending, Kill It With Fire suddenly shifts into a puzzle game that requires exploiting its mechanics to overcome seemingly impossible hurdles.

Kill It With Fire is a solid and fun game, even if its premise is simple, and its only gripe is that it's a bit too short and lacking some challenge.

The short playtime and a little bit of Arachnophobia may stop some gamers to try this title but the level design and the amount of ridiculous power it gives players just to fight some spiders makes this a title well worth playing.

Best experienced in short bursts, if you only play one spider-murder sandbox this year, play Kill It With Fire.

A short and sweet distraction, Kill It With Fire is a quirky experiment in overreacting and pest control that will hold your attention for an hour or two.

It may be very short, but Kill It with Fire is creative and entertaining all the same. I'll never look at a frying pan the same way again.

I'm no therapist, but I'm pretty sure that next to the word "catharsis" in the dictionary, there's a just a screenshot from Kill it with Fire.

A powerful and hooligan premise cannot always sustain the total within a game. And Kill it with Fire is powerfully flashy, but with little baggage. Making the cenutrium killing spiders is fun, but the passage of time makes the proposal not so convincing, even opening its levels more and offering more possible, objectives and a system of improvements and obtaining more equipment and weapons. An attractive idea that is not carried out as it should by turning it into a complete and commercial game.
