### 5/5 — All spider fighter games and John hero

*2023-06-24*

Starting with spider fighter 1 it’s a really great game with a bunch of characters to choose from and you can get ability’s  7/10 now for spider fighter 2 I love how it’s not like those side fighters where you only get to fight from the side you guys actually changed it so you can look around and it’s just like the last game different characters to choose from and some new abilities 8/10 now for spider fighter 3 I love how you guys changed it from a side fighter game, a game where you can look around and then a game where you can do whatever you want to and I love for how spider fighter three isn’t like any of the other games you can actually move look around do anything you want to and you have abilities I think some new characters to choose from and now for John hero even though I haven’t played it yet from the pictures it already looks like a fun game also I can’t wait for spider fighter 4
