Ever wished you could just suit up, swing across a massive open world cityscape, and absolutely wreck some street level criminals? That is exactly the kind of chaotic energy this rope hero game brings to the table. You aren’t just stuck walking around. You get to hijack cars, sprint up skyscrapers, and dive headfirst into massive, explosive street wars whenever you feel like it.

SWINGING THROUGH A CRIME RIDDEN CONCRETE JUNGLE

Stepping into the shoes of a super powered spider mutant is honestly an absolute blast. You get complete freedom to explore a massive city map that is completely overrun by nasty factions and gangsters.

The traversal mechanics are where the real fun kicks in. Firing off a web to swing seamlessly from one skyscraper to the next never really gets old. You can even mess with the city traffic. But you can’t just sightsee all day. The streets are constantly crawling with thugs, and violent ambushes trigger when you least expect them. It is completely up to you to drop in from the clouds and clean up the absolute mess these syndicates are making.

MASTERING STEALTH, HEAVY WEAPONS, AND STREET BRAWLS

You do not have to just blindly charge into a firefight. The mission variety here is surprisingly deep.

Sometimes going in guns blazing gets you instantly wiped out. Instead, you can stick to the shadows, crawl up the side of a building, and silently ambush enemies from the rooftops before they even know you are there. Keeping yourself alive during the heavier shootouts takes a bit of strategy. Your health and armor stats sit right at the top of the screen, so you always know exactly when to push the attack and when to rapidly retreat. Once you finally master your unique acrobatic skills and combine them with the crazy arsenal of weapons you unlock, you become an absolute nightmare for the local crime bosses.
