It feels like this game was built purely because of the memes and to attract the streaming and YouTube crowds, just like Hello Neighbor and other tinyBuild games released in the past.

Kill It With Fire is extremely limited and short. It is not very varied and the original idea, interesting as it may be, is hampered by the few stages, negligible difficulty and very low variation of the weapons. We know that not every production needs to be big, but it is clear that there is a lot of room for improvement here.

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.

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.

Kill It With Fire is a simple concept by design, but that doesn’t make it bad. In fact, when you have 30 minutes spare it’s a perfect time killer. It really is as simple as it sounds, offering sadistic fun as you take out revenge on all those creepy crawlies you’ve screamed at over the years. The joy is in getting the upgrades and finding the different weapons you can use, then going back through the levels and getting those damn red jumping spiders back. If you’re after a pretty easy 100% and have some hatred towards spiders, this is unmissable. Otherwise, I’m not sure there’s enough here to make it a game that needs to be played.

Kill It With Fire offers an inventive proposal that is lost by not evolving the concept of the absurd that the game itself presents. It is a fun game, but it could be much more if it dared to go beyond a repeated idea over the few hours of the campaign.

One area in which the game is severely lacking is its options. There are the obvious audio settings in which you can alter music and sound levels, but there's no sign of crucial gameplay options. What this means is there is no way of altering the often excruciatingly slow aiming speed, and (rather sinfully) no option to invert the Y-axis. For a first-person experience, these should be in there as standard, and will be a deal-breaker for many. With this aside, however, Kill It With Fire is a fun little distraction that, while only a few hours in length, will keep you entertained with its myriad array of gameplay opportunities and selection of weapons.

A game with major technical problems, but which bring us what it promises: annihilating spiders in a variety of ways and without worrying about the destruction of the place.

If you jump onto this thinking that you’ll get a massively deep experience with lots of lore, and a rich story presented on a glorious tapestry, you will be sorely disappointed. It’s a casual, silly and fun first-person fighting game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. You have the freedom to explore, destroy and kill anything in sight, so make the most of it. Do I recommend it? Yes, if you want to have a light-hearted game in your library, then buy it here! Spiders are running wild, grab your weapon of choice, find where they are hiding, and take their lives.

Kill It With Fire is fun. While it's just about as bare bones as you can get and totally lacks the variety you'd want from a more long-term experience, there's just something about repeatedly murdering spiders in various ways that puts a smile on your face. For those looking for something simple to mess around with on occasion (or as a way to vent stress) you'd do well looking into this one, while those looking for something more full-fledged should probably keep moving down the line.

If spiders really, really piss you off, Kill it with Fire provides you with some cool and nasty ways to kill them and get yourself some satisfaction. If you don't mind them, don't mind this game either.

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.

Kill It With Fire is an idea that hits really hard and leaves the player wondering what madness has hit him, but it doesn't take much and the storm passes away. The longevity of a work like this is obviously decided by the user, and with Kill It With Fire the desire to go on killing spiders will arise spontaneously in each of us. It isn’t a question of being afraid of spiders or feeling disgusted: we have an entire city as an arsenal at our disposal, and destroying our enemy in the most fun way possible is a moral duty.

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.

As addictive as Kill It With Fire is, the game is unfortunately quite short. The side quests and unlockables add to the game's length, but it can be completed in an evening. This however doesn't denounce the fact that Kill It With Fire is a good time. Though some hit detection issues can get in the way, when combining organic humour, tense stand offs, and ridiculous moments, the game serves as an excellent distraction that could be picked up and played by anyone.

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

The biggest problem with the game is its length. If you storm through the eight main levels, you can breeze through in about five hours. With that said, there’s a selection of unlockables, mini-quests, and even a secret final level. It also offers the ability to replay past levels with new equipment. It’s a fleeting experience that stands out from the web with its humour, excellent sound design, and genuine laughs, frights, and thrills.
