If you thought the first game was excessive, KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 is here to redefine the word “overkill.” Developer Casey Donnellan Games has taken the simple, primal joy of hunting spiders with household objects and expanded it into a multiverse-spanning, co-op chaos engine. Now out of Early Access, the 1.0 release proves that the only thing better than setting a spider on fire is doing it with three friends and a laser sword in zero gravity.
The premise remains gloriously simple: there are spiders, and they must die. But the scope has exploded. You are no longer just cleaning a house; you are an Exterminator traversing seven dimensions—from the Wild West to Cyber-Space and even Spider Hell itself.
“A sequel so great had to replay a fresh campaign each big release from EA to the 1.0 release… This game is one of the best I’ve ever played.”
It’s bigger, dumber (in the best way), and infinitely more polished than the original.
Weapons of Mass Destruction (and Comedy)
The arsenal has been upgraded from “excessive” to “absurd.” With 45 weapons and gadgets, you aren’t just squishing bugs; you’re waging war. You can use a minigun, a rocket launcher, a laser sword, or—if you’re feeling traditional—a good old-fashioned newspaper.
The game encourages creativity and collateral damage. “I got Dynamite and a flamethrower, and I can definitely cause millions in property damage,” one player notes. The physics-based destruction is a huge part of the fun. Need to find a spider behind a bookshelf? Burn the bookshelf. Burn the room. Burn the whole dimension.
Co-op Chaos and Spider PvP
The biggest addition is 4-player online co-op. Hunting spiders is fun solo, but it’s “absolutely hilarious” with friends. The chaos of four people tearing apart a level in search of one tiny spider is unmatched.
For those who want to turn the tables, there’s the new “Spider Hunt” PvP mode. This 8-player mode lets you play as the spider, hiding from exterminators in a prop-hunt style game. It’s a brilliant twist that adds a whole new layer of replayability.
A Polished Experience
Despite the chaos, this is a polished game. It runs well, looks great, and is packed with content. There are over 60 challenges, potion brewing, drone racing, and even a kaiju mode where you destroy a city. For arachnophobes, the game includes accessibility options to make the spiders less terrifying, ensuring everyone can enjoy the destruction.

KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2: This is the perfect sequel. It takes everything that made the first game a cult hit and expands it in every direction. It’s funny, satisfying, and deeply therapeutic for anyone who has ever been startled by a spider in real life. Whether you're playing solo or with a squad of exterminators, this is a stress-relieving blast. It's absolutely peak. Grab a flamethrower and get to work. – Flare
