Deadly Creatures

About

Play as a scorpion or tarantula in this action-platformer where you battle bugs, rats, and reptiles. The scorpion's levels are fast and aggressive while the tarantula focuses on stealth and exploration. Use the Wii Remote for movement and attacks with motion controls for special moves. The tarantula can shoot webs using the pointer and eating certain enemies restores health. Progression unlocks new skills for both characters. Boss fights against a Gila Monster, rattlesnake, and human deliver cinematic intensity. Combat feels like a scaled-down monster movie showdown. The two distinct playstyles and creative use of the Wii's features set it apart. Released in 2009 it remains a quirky entry in the platformer genre with a cult following.
