Description: Step into a dark dank medieval dungeon where giant Spiders lay in wait to attack you. You have to quickly grab your sword and hit back before they bite you with their vicious fangs. You will have to kill all the spiders to complete the level and move on. Spider Fear is a game of attacking spiders in Virtual Reality. It is a fun action game intended to help with fear of spiders by creating an immersive environment where you fend of spiders attacking. The game is very immersive, it may induce fright. Your VR controllers allow you to use your hands and grab a sword to defend against the spider attacks.
Review: If you were expecting a sophisticated game with ‘Spider Fear’ that looks amazing and highly action-packed you need to reassess all the free VR games you have ever played. I always say a free game is OK as long as it is fun to play, but ‘Spider Fear’ isn’t fun to play at all, in fact, I would rather have a real spider crawl all over me than play this game again. Its like the worst dungeon crawler game you will ever come across, only at least retro dungeon crawlers had some gameplay about them. Maybe give it a go if you like the look of it, but personally, I really wouldn’t bother.
