Inspired by a video game from the ’80s, Inspired Gaming’s latest release Space Invaders takes you back to the day of gaming arcades and retro-style video games. The look and feel of the slot nods toward the original arcade game with the addition of modern-day features without losing the authenticity the famous video game captured back in the day.
About Space Invaders
The action takes place on 5 reels with 20 active paylines. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p up to £200 per spin. RTP sits slightly below average at 95% so expect medium to high volatility.
The design is much more modern than the original arcade game with high-definition graphics and attention to detail throughout. The reels sit inside a game console and sit on the black outer space background, Symbols include various low-value space invaders along with high values like rockets, satellites, and the game logo.
Gameplay
There are a few features and modifiers in Space Invaders delivering explosive win potential.
If a UFO hovers over the reels and is hit by a cannon a modifier drops:
Wild Cannon – Adds wilds in random positions on the reels
Monster Wild – Wild expands to fill the entire reel
5-of-a-kind – Guarantees at least one full line
Mega Reel – Various reels merge to create a mega reel
Bonus Boost – A random number of bonus symbols are added to the reels increasing the chances of triggering the bonus
There are two more modifiers to take advantage of. After a winless spin, a UFO or a Cannon can appear to award a feature or guaranteed win.
UFO – transform random symbols into a mega symbol
Cannon – Fires random symbols onto the reels, after a win, new symbols drop down into the winning positions.
During the base game, the random Sticky Wild Respin feature can trigger. Once active all instances of a randomly chosen symbol lock in place for a respin. Winning symbols also lock in place, and this continues until no more winning symbols appear.
3 or more scatters on a spin award a spin on the bonus wheel. There are six different bonuses up for grabs including a bonus game, a pick game, wild cannon free spins, monster wild free spins, Mega Reel free spins, and Space Invaders for extra multipliers.
After the bonus game ends you get a pick-a-coin game. Each coin reveals one of three options:
Game Over – the game ends
Continue – A bonus or free spins are awarded
Space Invaders – The Space Invader bonus game is awarded
Verdict
Inspired Gaming has delivered an excellent slot paying homage to an 80s video arcade game. Included are 8 reel modifiers which can prove highly lucrative even in the base game, and 6 additional bonus games. There’s plenty of action throughout and a top prize of up to £250,000 up for grabs.
