    Kill It With Fire manages to make us feel like it's much more than just a mindless game. It doesn't want to change the world neither wants to be more than an excuse to have a good time. If you like this type of hilarious and destructive sandbox, this game is another good candidate to add to your collection.

    It still lacks tension, something that I suspect could be fixed by patching in a hardcore “damage” mode, and spider-hunting is, at its core, repetitive. But Kill It With Fire gives you the resources to turn a mundane activity into glorious, cartoony, house-torching mayhem. Best experienced in short bursts, if you only play one spider-murder sandbox this year, play Kill It With Fire.

    It is what it is – an effective and stupidly addictive spider-killing and house-smashing game. There is, quite honestly, nothing more to say other than… kill it with fire.

    If you’ve got a rainy afternoon and not much to do, Kill It With Fire will slot in nicely for a few hours of entertainment, although there may not be a high degree of replayability if the combat system doesn’t suit your tastes.

    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 is one of those “so dumb it’s kinda fun” experiences. The game is very simple, intentionally ugly, and unpretentious, which makes killing house spiders with over-the-top weapons (explosives, flame thrower, shotgun, etc.) pretty enjoyable for around two hours. [11/2020, p.76]

    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 can best be summed up as a competent game wrapped around a much stronger premise. Mindless fun can be had, and it should probably be put in front of actual arachnophobes for the most entertaining results (provided, of course, they're up to the effort - the payoff of victory is quite sweet). These spiders need more bite to keep players coming back after squashing them.

    Average silly stupid game.

    It is short, and in every aspect hit's right in the middle, not too good not bad either. Physics are really weak and hitbox is all awkward. This game feels like made for VR, if it ever get's ported then maybe it is worth the try, otherwise only worth it if heavily discounted.

    Some gamers that get annoyed that some games don't have ultra realistic graphics think that the graphics in this game are bad because the graphics are simplistic, cartoony, and polygonal, but that's not true! The graphics are great even if it's not realistic! The gameplay is also great! The weapons are pretty funny! The ending is logical when you consider the weapons that you use in the game, the omega files are interesting and the secret ending has a nice reference to tinyBuild's first game.    … Full Review »
