Description
Action-adventure game developed by Rainbow Studios and published by THQ in Europe in February 2009. Players alternately control a scorpion and a tarantula crossing an American desert infested with rattlesnakes and human predators. Ground-level melee combat, venom to inject, webs to spin and sensory perception of environments. Unique invertebrate creature perspective to explore a dark narrative adventure.
A singular action adventure from Rainbow Studios and THQ, Deadly Creatures has you play in turn a tarantula and a scorpion fighting to survive in a hostile desert, with a human plot in the background. The choice of playable arthropods, the combat gestures and the organic atmosphere make it a truly original proposition. The temperamental camera and a sometimes slow pace call for some leniency. An experience apart for players after originality and fans of bold concepts on Wii.
