  • Summary: The good news: The VR version of Kill It With fire means the ultimate freedom to hunt and destroy mankind's most ancient and deadly nemesis. You'll have more control than ever over how you take down the eight-legged menace.

    The bad news: It's SPIDERS. In VR. Don't say we didn't warn you.

    Look, we don't need to complicate things, here. There's somewhat of a "spider problem" in town, and as a licensed Kill It With Fire exterminator, YOU are the solution.

    But you're not going in alone. You've got a huge arsenal of weapons and technology to help you do a little bit of population control. And if there's a little collateral damage caused along the way? Well, it's best to be SURE they're dead.

    Representing some of the most fun I have had with my PlayStation VR2 headset since launch, though Kill It With Fire VR is a touch too short, what we have here is nonetheless a hugely entertaining morsel of VR gaming that deftly blends a real-life fear of arachnids with a corresponding range of increasingly deranged methods to deal with them. Easy to play and resoundingly suitable for VR newcomers, Kill It With Fire VR is a whole heap of welcome chaotic fun.

    Casey Donnellan Games has tailored a well balanced game to carry out its goal. Kill It With Fire hits the right mix of fun and length. If you are an arachnophobe, this may not be the game for you. If the idea of squashing spiders for fun appeals to your darker side, this is the game for you. Kill It With Fire is available on all platforms, be it flat or VR. And now it has come to the PSVR 2. Happy Hunting!

    Killing spiders is incredibly easy – Kill It With Fire VR makes it fun. Scratch that – it makes it dumb fun. Despite the jump scares and spiders, I kept myself fully entertained because of the sheer number of ridiculous things I could use to kill spiders. If a book from the shelf wasn’t enough, maybe a shotgun would do the trick. No dice? Shurikens. No? Fine. Flamethrower. That’ll work. Some of its controls lack explanation and its features could be better explained. Once you figure it out, Kill It With Fire VR lends itself for a fun afternoon VR experience or party game if you want to mess around with some friends.

    The VR game’s as short-lived as the PS4 version, while the optional objectives that pad out a level rarely have anything to do with killing spiders, though completing them does earn you upgrades to make mass arachnicide easier. If you’ve killed them with fire once already, however, the promise of doing it again in virtual reality isn’t quite so tantalising. [Issue#35, p.82]

    Even if you think that this should do well in VR and take advantage of all the possibilities of the format, it does not feel particularly fun.
