Reapers Review
There is no denying just how talented Print Studios is as a slot developer. With countless hits such as Huntress Wild Vengeance, Out of the Ice, Crystal Golem and Royal Potato, it's clear that the developers are on the right track and unafraid to shake up the slot world.
Reapers is the next evolution of slots from Print Studios. This grid slot plays on 8x8 but contains 10 different features throughout creating chaotic but intriguing gameplay. All of this paired with a compelling story makes Reapers unmissable.
Design
According to the slot's lore, this game takes place in the future on a distant planet. Earth has colonized a new planet but sadly not all is going to plan. There are creatures trying to take over and it's up to you and a group of Reapers to destroy them. Reapers are essentially special technology developed to defeat these dangerous creatures.
When the slot opens up, you'll be greeted by a space marine leading the charge. She introduces the slot to you and lets you know what you are in for. You start at the base of 15 barriers with the goal to break through. Naturally, with the space theme, there are many different visuals echoing science fiction with special weapons, buildings and other technology. This slot definitely makes you feel like you have left Earth.
When you progress through the barriers, you move with your gun at the bottom right. The setup of this slot makes the game feel like a first-person shooter as you move through. It's a cool detail that makes you feel really powerful.
As for the creatures, they are what you'd expect from hostile aliens. There are some with only one eye, whilst there are others with massive foreheads. Similarly, the audio is what you'd expect with a dance track paired with laser shooting noises. It's all just incredible to experience.
Gameplay
At first, this game can be quite overwhelming. Thankfully, there are tutorial pop-ups that occur at specific moments. Clearly, the developers thought the gameplay was quite complicated as they added these.
Ultimately, the goal is to spin and match up clusters to build up the energy. When you reach a certain amount of energy, then you'll move through the barrier. The goal is to reach the 15th barrier to unlock the bonus game.
During your adventure, you'll have 5 Reapers which will assist you in breaking the barriers. These all add specific features to the game and make it easier to get to the bonus game.
When the bonus game starts, you'll have to work through 5 levels with 75 grids. It's not something that is easy to reach, but will award you will glorious wins once you get there!
Win Potential
Like most other Print Studios slots, the win potential is pretty impressive in Reapers. Firstly, the standard RTP is 96.47% which is quite high and over the average standard of 96%. Sadly, there are alternative RTPs that vary between 94.44% to 88.44% which is something to be aware of.
In terms of volatility, naturally, this game is highly volatile. This means that the wins will be big but infrequent. Therefore, it's recommended that you have the bankroll to sustain yourself throughout.
As for the biggest win, you can gain up to 20,000x the stake in this slot. We expect this amount to be achieved through the bonus round by passing through the 5 levels. It may be difficult to reach the maximum win, but we found the wins we received to be fairly big!
Our Verdict
When we heard of Reapers, we did not know what to expect. We just knew that Print Studios would impress us. Thankfully, our intuition was right as Reapers is absolutely fantastic. This game makes us think of Star Guardians but with a first-person perspective.
The concept is brilliant combining video games with online slots to create something unique. It's a delight to play and easy to understand once you get started. If you are looking for the next best slot, then look no further than Reapers.
