Spidersaurs

"Spidersaurs does a good job of providing run &s;n&s; gun fun but it&s;s still just a Contra clone that plays it a little too safe despite its silliness."

"All in all, Spidersaurs is a by the book run-and-gun game that’s sure to please fans who may feel that there haven’t been enough releases from their favorite franchises."

"Spidersaurs do not reinvent the wheel and do not aim to do so. Like a good B movie, the game builds on everything that has been made in the run and gun genre and seeks to reuse key elements using …"

"Still, if you can look past the faults here and don’t mind a bit of jank here and there, you’ll be able to enjoy this game well enough to get one playthrough of fun out of it at the very …"

"Spidersaurs doesn&s;t have the staying power of the great run-and-gun games, but it&s;s decent fun while it lasts."

"The frequent crashes I encountered on Xbox Series X, the increasingly bullet sponge nature of enemies, a fairly unsatisfying platforming and with simple level designs relying on cheap tricks such as traps every few steps and endlessly respawning enemies to …"

"Fans who miss an actual Contra game can find Spidersaurs to be a great substitute, from its controls to its unforgiving-yet-kinda-fair gameplay."

"Spidersaurs is a run-and-gun shooter where I faced off against hordes of enemies as one of two newly hired interns. Is this adventure a blast from the past? Or is it outdated? Find out in this Rapid Review."

"I very much enjoyed my time playing Spidersaurs. Fellow fans of Contra will find something to love here, while fans of WayForward’s brand of uplifting and chaotic fun should also have a good time. This is the best unofficial spiritual …"

"Going back to the glory days of the classic Contra, both at home and in the arcades, the run &s;n gun shooter has always provided for quite a lot of fun when done right..."

"Even if it’s unfair and beyond cheap at times (it’s a Contra clone, after all), I loved Spidersaurs. It’s not just because of its utterly bonkers premise; its gameplay is tight, its level and enemy designs are superb, and it’s …"

"Spidersaurs itself isn&s;t a bad game, but WayForward&s;s standard is much higher. The game is very short and not as much fun as we would like."

""90s cartoon monsters escape the lab.""

"For run ‘n’ gun fans, there’s a hell of a lot to like about Spidersaurs. Its enemies are varied and fun, its boss fights are challenging, and it’s excellently presented throughout. Only the odd difficulty spike that feels a little …"

"Spidersaurs is a beautiful homage to a bygone era of over-the-top &s;90s cartoons and challenging platformers. The game does enough to make it feel distinct from similar games, adding in special abilities and beautiful art and voice acting. The game …"

"Spidersaurs is a fun ride while it lasts, as well as a strong love letter to Contra, all delivered with WayForward&s;s signature style. While it is very short and suffers from some minor issues following its transfer from Apple Arcade …"

"Spidersaurs is loveable, looks fantastic, and nowhere near as hostile and hardcore as the games that inspired it."

"Spidersaurs may be short and lack content outside of story mode but its colorful cartoon stylings and solid run and gun gameplay make it a great twist on the classic genre."

"For the Contra diehards among you, Spidersaurs is a great game. The difficulty can be brutal at times, but I&s;m sure I&s;ll power through the higher tiers eventually."
