Apocalypse Free Play in Demo Mode

Apocalypse review

Theme and Style

Apocalypse is a slot that is set in a cyberpunk world that has gone to the dogs. The ruined streets of the background are a mess of burned-out cars, biohazard signs, and ruined jumbotrons showing error messages.

On the reels, a colorful mix of characters in Tank Girl, S*T*A*L*K*E*R, and Mad Max cosplays roam the embattled post-apocalyptic world searching for the other reel symbols—gasoline, med kits, and tinned food.

This game will appeal to fans of post-apocalyptic fiction and the franchises mentioned above.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The visuals are a strong selling point for this game. The artwork gives each of the character symbols real personality (or should that be reel personality!), each of whom is iconic and interesting.

The soundtrack will remind players of the Bioshock games, where old classics play with record scratches and radio interferences added, while beneath the upbeat record music, solemn movie soundtrack strings play underneath. It has a real vibe to it that many players will be instantly attracted to.

All of this is supported by animations that are subtle and utilitarian but which make the game feel alive and draw the player int to this wasteland world.

Gameplay

Apocalypse is played on a big game space with six reels and four rows of symbols. The any-way-wins system means there are 4,096 ways to win on a field of this size.

A nudge feature adds respins and stacked Wild symbols to keep the base game as interesting as the setting.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 20,000x of the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol comes in the form of a stacked Wild and a Nudge Wild. When the stacked Wild lands it expands down by one space each subsequent spin. Each respin adds +1 to the multiplier.

The Nudge Wild does almost the same thing. However instead of expanding, it just moves down.

There are three different free spin bonuses that the player can trigger:

• The Carnage Bonus - A two part bonus with a coin spin bonus followed by a five spin free spin bonus with enhanced reels.
• The Doomsday Bonus - Same as the Carnage Bonus but with ten spins instead of five in the free spin stage of the bonus.
• Cataclysm Spins - Same as Doomsday Bonus but with one random character who remains persistent when that symbol lands.

You can buy directly into any of the free spin bonuses directly or buy a random bonus.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player of the Apocalypse slot is 96.03%, more or less the same as our yardstick for an average of roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

The Apocalypse slot has very high volatility. So wins will tend to be rarer but bigger when they do land. This makes Apocalypse a good slot to use with our preferred slot machine strategies, which target the highest possible volatility.

Conclusion

Apocalypse is a fantastically atmospheric slot with a cool theme and a world that feels complete enough that you could walk through the screen and join the mad dogs and cyber-bikers that haunt the ruined city.

The art and music are great, and the average RTP is neither a plus nor a minus, but the high volatility is a plus for us.

We highly recommend this slot, especially if you’re a fan of survivalist video games and a punk-ish post-apocalypse.
