While they may bug some people, insects and arachnids are a vital part of the world. It’s true that some can be super antsy or as mad as a hornet. But others have heroic hearts as big as a house(fly). The following games showcase these unlikely heroes and the wondrous worlds they live in.

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling

Bug Fables is an adventure RPG following three heroes, Vi, Kabbu, and Leif, as they embark on an epic quest in Bugaria in search of treasure and immortality. The game combines colorful platforming with the heroes' unique abilities as they explore a wide variety of areas in the kingdom.

Bug Academy

Worms W.M.D.
