Plexarium Reviews

The only known cure for arachnophobia

Pros + Simple and Fun + Lots of levels to explore + Looks great, love the design + Has multiplayer + Game keeps your attention for hours Cons - Can get a little repetitive - Wish there were a few more spider models

This game has that fresh new experience that indies are made to deliver. The levels are just the right amount in length and not too easy nor too difficult to solve, especially when you correctly use the bonus items you get from trapping spiders. It has good replayability considering that the levels are randomly generated each time you start a new game, so you are always solving new mazes. It does require a system with reasonable graphics capability, so my low-spec laptop was borderline but my desktop with dedicated video card had no issues.

Solid experience from what I've played so far. The controls are mapped out pretty well so you feel like you have a good handle on things and the overall navigation of each maze is fairly intuitive. The geometry and lighting make it feel immersive. Also, each level is uniquely generated when you start the game, so each time you play it is a new experience. This also helps with the multiplayer aspect as no one can memorize the levels and have an unfair advantage.

Reminds me a bit like pacman where you're facing the same enemies on each level, but also a bit like tetris in that each level gets a little progressively more difficult and the music flows with that progression. I've also tried out the multiplayer mode with some friends and it's a lot of fun to do team vs team matches, reminds me of capture the flag in quake to some degree (which is a good thing)

Pretty cool game with lots of levels to play. Pros + Fun + Cute story + Rewarding + 100s of levels + Addictive Cons - Brings out my competitive streak - Addictive

It's a fun game where you use phasers and force fields to trap spiders. It also has an X-ray feature where you can see behind walls for a limited duration, which aids in finding the fuel cell (the item you have to locate in each level). It's addictive so far.

Enjoyable game with an aesthetic that reminds me of borderlands. Perfect amount of action without getting stressed. Also great for getting you in a good mood with the soundtrack.

Plexarium is similar to the capture the flag genre. You're given the task to gather all the hidden fuel containers. Each level is a randomly generated maze with multiple floors. But be careful, there are many spiders roaming the ship. And they can attack from a short distance.

Plexarium is an excellent blend of action, immersion, and rewarding gameplay. On top of that, I have yet to encounter a single bug within it so far, which is hard to say for some indie titles.
