Mutant Xpiders is a strange game which is almost like Space Invaders in a way but it’s different in many regards.
The graphics depict, not aliens, but spiders (or xpiders) who hang from the top of the screen, they don’t come in waves like Space Invaders, they come one at a time whenever they feel like it. The background has a spider web, which is a nice touch.
The cool thing about this game is not the spiders that are dangerous (though they are) it’s your own bullets. For once, they are under the force of gravity and they actually return towards you faster than what you shot them, which means avoiding spiders is one thing, avoiding your own bullets is another.
There is no music and the sound effects are adequate, and add a marginal amount of interest to the game but on the whole unfortunately do not fit with the game and remove you from the experience.
So in whole this is a Space Invaders remake with a big twist put on the old story. It’s definitely interesting, to say the least, and the falling bullets is quite an attraction.

I'm putting it between Average and Poor, however I'm gonna be friendly on this one. The gameplay is interesting indeed, and the fact that your bullets can come down at you is a very good idea, which gives the game a bit more challenge. However, this game becomes boring after a few minutes of gameplay, and the way your bullets are flying around takes a little time to get the hang of. Download this game if you want to check out a good idea. If you look for a good game, however, you should try out other shoot 'em up games, or wait until the author of Mutant Xpiders restarts making this game from scratch. As I already said, the idea of the falling bullets is quite innovative, as I have never seen it in any (freeware or commercial) game before.
If you don't know what to do now: Give it a try. But don't expect too much.
