A fun game with a silly premise. It's fun to use the different weapons to find all the spiders and take them out, but the overall experience still feels pretty hollow. I got tired of the game pretty quickly and by the time the game ended I just never wanted to play it again. It's more of an "eh" time than a good time tbh.
Initially I played on the Steam Deck. Unfortunately, it would absolutely destroy the battery. The fan was loud trying to keep up. It's not a graphically rough game. It's fairly cartoonish to match the silly tone of the gameplay. I was only able to play for 35 minutes until I received a warning that the system was dying. I switched to PC after three sessions.
The entire premise of the game is to kill spiders. There are different levels with their own locations, power ups, collectibles, and objectives. The more challenges you beat, the more silly devices you earn to hunt spiders. Molotovs, lasers, guns, and C4 explosives are only a few of the many tools you can find. It's a great time waster to sit back and turn off your brain. There's plenty of content to enjoy.
There are certain menus that could be explained or shown better. I struggled to figure out how I was missing collectibles when the level said I was 100% until the internet helped.

The trailers and screenshots of this game are appealing. Also, it has overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam.
But I was very disappointed to find out that this game is fun for like 10 minutes. it becomes very boring & repetitive very quickly. Also, when I play this game, I feel motion sickness for some reason.

No es la quinta maravilla. El gameplay se siente lento y repetitivo, y para obtener todos los logros es necesario darle rejugadas que no se sienten gratificantes. Aun asi, es un juego entretenido, en su mayoria, y lo suficientemente corto como para que esta traba no suponga una traba. Es a lo que apuntaria cuando quiero jugar algo sin pensar demasiado, para pasar el tiempo.
Kill it with Fire is an absurd and over the top game about killing spiders. It starts off nice and simple, before descending into complete madness.
One interesting thing about Kill it with Fire is that the spiders are just spiders – there are some different types such as ones that jump, or queen ones that release young when killed and some that shoot webs, but there’s no venomous spiders, they can’t hurt you at all. I personally love this about the game, as it delves into one key aspect of arachnophobia, which is an illogical fear as spiders can’t hurt you (fearing venomous spiders isn’t a phobia, as there’s a valid reason to fear them).
Each level will have a list of objectives such as killing certain kinds of spiders, killing them in specific ways, destroying or moving specific objects. You have to discover these objectives by finding them through the level, but if you happen to complete the objective before finding it, then it will be revealed and marked as completed.
Weapons start from a clipboard, hairspray (with lighter) and a pistol, and throughout the levels you will find assault rifles, C4, hedge trimmers, frying pans and more. There are a few non-aggressive items such as cheese puffs (which serves as a lure but can also change spider type), energy drinks and flashbangs.
The game is short, which works for a game like this as it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It doesn’t do anything mind blowing, but is simply entertaining and amusing.

What seems like a simple concept devolves into abject chaos. The brilliant design philosophy gives you a set of tools and lets you loose in a selection of varied locations in which you are incentivized to decimate every living and non-living thing in the immediate area in the purest definition of the word: overkill.
