Attack on Retro

Retro was once the cutting edge tech, and today it is style, fashion and influence from decades gone past. In effect, it’s neon-graphics and pixel graphics, but with modern means. And that’s what we have on the reels in this Triple Edge Studios slot.

The attack on retro name seems to be a personal endeavour, and if you’re at all familiar with the style, you can recognize that it goes quite far. Ready for retro gaming? Let’s get to the reels then...

Theme and Symbols

The setting is actually a bit more complicated, with the year being 2187 (or judging by the style, just 80s) and the retro city under attack. Hence the name.

On the reels and in the background you’ll find neon-colours in their brightest glory, with a mix of futuristic devices from the past, as well as some familiar fashion items mixed as symbols. The background tracks offer just the sort of music you were hoping for, but perhaps wasn’t expecting. Full points for Triple Edge Studios!

Betting Options and Functions

Pretty familiar setup, which fit the retro theme. Five reels, three symbols each and ten simple paylines to keep the bet low and wins high.

High wins, of course, means high variance (that’s a given)...which begs the question, are the dozen or so dry spins worth the chance of scoring a big win? Considering that you can score up to a thousand times the line bet, it’s well worth it. Now be careful with the bet though, as changing it affects the special features!

Settings and options are pretty versatile, allowing you to mute music and sound effect set turbo spins on, and much more.

Features

The first feature you will run to are the Hyperspins. This is a bit of a familiar feature, present in many classic slots...a sort of a hold, except that you simply respin one reel. This comes with a cost however, depending on what the chances are of scoring more wins...you can continue spinning single reels as long as you want.

Landing three scatters will award an immediate win of double your total bet. More importantly, you are going to receive some bonus spins. You get to choose from three possibilities, exchanging the number of spins for higher multipliers.

During the bonus spins the wild gain some power, activating wild reels, taking the first and last reel over. Scatters will result in five or ten more bonus spins to keep the game going. There’s also a random wild feature, which can result in some or all of the symbol positions filled with wilds!

Our Take

We like the theme, and the slot isn’t too bad either! This game doesn’t pale in comparison to other retro slots, but stand on its own two feet, whether by the graphics, features or wins. Without a doubt, Microgaming made a great decision when they partnered up with Triple Edge Studios for exclusive gaming. Try the game and see why!
