Arachnophobia. The Game. The Sequel. Take on the arachnid menace alone or with friends in full campaign co-op. Wage the arachnid war across time and space and exterminate every last spider across the multiverse, or jump into Spider Hunt PvP and play as the eight-legged menace for the first time!
The game tasks players with completing various objectives within each level, such as killing a certain number of spiders, finding hidden items, or performing specific tasks. These objectives provide a clear sense of progression and encourage players to thoroughly explore the environments.
Players start with simple items like newspapers and clipboards, but gradually unlock increasingly powerful and creative options, such as laser guns, flamethrowers, and even remote-controlled vehicles. The game offers a comprehensive upgrade system, allowing players to further enhance these spider-slaying tools.
The game encourages players to use the physics-based systems to their advantage, enabling them to crush, explode, or otherwise creatively eliminate the arachnid menace in hilarious and satisfying ways, rather than just shooting or burning them.
The game introduces a new multiplayer component, offering a four-player co-op campaign and a PvP "Spider Hunt" mode. The co-op mode allows friends to work together to tackle the challenges, while the PvP mode pits players against each other in a game of hide-and-seek, with one player controlling the spiders and the others hunting them down.
As players progress, they unlock new areas, weapons, and upgrades, incentivizing them to revisit previous levels and explore them more thoroughly. The game's combination of objective-driven gameplay, environmental interactivity, and multiplayer options contribute to its overall replayability and longevity.
