The 1980s and 90s were home to numerous cartoons that existed primarily to sell toys to kids. Shows like Dino Riders and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors featured bizarre/creative premises and plenty of merchandizing potential. WayForward draws from that legacy with Spidersaurs, a run-and-gun shooter with a goofy concept (genetically engineered spide...
In Spidersaurs, the questionably benevolent InGest Corp has genetically engineered a huge array of dinosaur/spider hybrids as a new miracle food supply. One day, things go awry, however, with the titular creatures turning on their creators and threatening to run amok. Only a pair of human volunteers (one a punk guitarist and the other a police cadet) whose abilities have been enhanced by eating Spidersaur meat can step in and save the day.

When a horde of dinosaur-spider hybrids runs amok, gamers will step in as a pair of human test subjects tasked with saving the day. With a humorous, cartoon-like premise, tight Contra-style shooting, and 2-player local co-op, the game should be r...
The concept behind Spidersaurs is silly but fun. The questionably benevolent InGest Corp has genetically engineered a huge array of dinosaur/spider hybrids as a new miracle food supply. One day, things go awry, however, with the titular creatures turning on their creators and threatening to run amok. Only a pair of human volunteers (one a punk guitarist and the other a police cadet) whose abilities have been enhanced by eating Spidersaur meat can step in and save the day.
Spidersaurs comes from the same development team as Contra 4, a Nintendo DS-exclusive run-and-gun shooter. The sci-fi scenario involves a huge array of genetically engineered half-spider, half-dinosaur hybrids escaping from captivity and running amok. Only Victoria the punk rocker and Adrian the officer in training can stop the bloated beasts. Each character wields a unique weapon and Spidersaur powers that they will need to infiltrate the INGESTCorp facility and stop the madness. That sounds like a deliberately silly good time to me!
