Spiders

Spiders at a Glance

Spiders is a French studio founded in 2008 that has released eleven games as a developer since 2010. The company does not publish its own titles on PlayPile but focuses entirely on development work. Their catalog spans over fourteen years and shows a consistent shift toward specific genres. Every single one of their eleven listed games falls into the Role-playing genre, while nine also carry an Adventure tag. Two projects fit the Strategy category, and two are classified as Hack and slash or Beat 'em up titles. The studio has maintained a broad platform reach across multiple generations of hardware. All eleven games appear on PC, with five versions available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Four titles have a presence on PlayStation 4. This wide distribution suggests they aim for accessibility rather than exclusivity. Quality trends in their output are generally steady but rarely exceptional. The average rating across eight rated titles sits at 62.4 out of 100. Their breakdown shows no games with a great score above 80. Six titles fall into the good range between 60 and 79, one is mixed between 40 and 59, and one rates as poor below 40. The highest rated game is Of Orcs and Men from 2012 with a score of 73.2. Steelrising released in 2022 earned a 72.7, while GreedFall from 2019 scored 71.9. Other notable entries include The Technomancer at 63.5 and Mars: War Logs at 63.3. Output volume has decreased slightly over time. The studio released seven games during the 2010s and four in the 2020s so far. Recent activity includes GreedFall: The Dying World in September 2024 and Steelrising in September 2022. They also released a Gold Edition of GreedFall in 2021 which received a lower score of 55.1. Spiders develops its own engine called Silk Engine and provides outsourced support to other studios. While they specialize in action-RPGs, their ratings indicate a pattern of solid but not impressive releases.
