It's not all for gruesome show-you have to use a bit of creativity and imagination in killing your enemies to get past obstacles and move on in the game. In fact, you can use the Rig to slam, impale, asphyxiate, drown, torch and torture your enemies any number of ways. Got a Shocktropper you want to get rid of?

Partway through Wild 9's production schedule, Shiny President David Perry kicked out the programming staff and started development all over because the game ended up looking too much like a generic platform side-scroller. You could say Wild 9 is an important title for Shiny Entertainment.
