Rock Bottom Free Play in Demo Mode by Nolimit City

Rock Bottom review

Theme and Storyline

Rock Bottom has a crime noir theme.

Players will step into a shadowy world where gangsters rule the streets, and femme fatales are a deadly force. With a shot of whiskey, and a few dirty tricks, players might make it through the night.

This slot is a great pick for fans of noir fiction and graphic novels such as Sin City.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The moody soundtrack is infused with rock chords that give it a cool vintage feel. Players may find themselves swaying to the rhythm and feeling ready to stay up all night chasing mysterious criminals.

The animation is primarily black and white, with pops of color for emphasis. This aesthetic seems like a respectful nod to the style of Sin City and other noir graphic novels.

A variety of memorable characters appear on the reels, including a tough-looking femme fatale, and a clown that brings to mind the Joker from the Batman universe. A mob boss in sunglasses, and an eccentrically dressed pimp also make appearances. There is no doubt that every individual in Rock Bottom’s world has a dark backstory.

Behind the reels, towering city buildings can be seen, their windows glowing in the dark. A movie theater board glows faintly in the corner, adding to the cinematic vibes.

Overall, Rock Bottom’s soundtrack and aesthetic create a gritty world of drama and crime.
