Have your own close encounter of the third kind with Cosmic Invaders. This is a 5 reel, non-progressive video slot released by 2by2 Gaming, a thriving company stationed in Chicago, Illinois. This time, there are no scary Grays and their famed abduction scenarios. Instead, cheerful little Green guys are invading your space to show you how extraterrestrials play to win.
Among the images is strange apparatus of some kind that looks a bit too much like a probe. Let’s hope its purpose is not the traditional one that we all know and fear. You can’t undertake interstellar journey without a high-tech spacefaring craft, and one or two satellites designed for navigation. From time to time, purple female visitors from outer space will descent upon the reels for additional fun. There is also our blue planet Earth, the Moon and one yellow warning sign. It suggests that some cows might be taken away into space, but don’t let that concern you too much, because it also announces a couple of good bonuses coming your way.
All betting options in this game can be customized to your preference. There are 30 pay-lines and 10 chips total that you can place per line. Chip sizes are within range of $ 0.01 to $ 0.25. If you set all options to be in their minimum values, the lowest bet placed per spin is a mere $ 0.01, and with all options maxed out, the maximum amount placed per spin is a significant sum of $ 75. Adjust the number of lines, chip sizes and the number of chips placed per line to find values that suit your play-style most.
Special features
There are 3 bonus features in this game, and they are versatile enough and have good triggering frequency to be able to make up for relatively poor pay-table and base game wins. Wild symbol is included in the form of green alien, and female purple alien serves as Scatter.
Wild Invaders is randomly awarded and that can happen on every spin. You will notice three motionless silver spaceships stationed above the reels 2, 3 and 4. They will remain sitting there until this feature is triggered. When that happens, one of them will start descending and dropping Wilds along the way, making one entire reel Wild.
In the Alien Picking Bonus which is awarded when two scattered UFO symbols appear on reels 1 and 5, you will get a pop-up screen with 5 aliens to choose from. All five of them have a prize, but some carry more than others.
When 3, 4 or 5 scattered purple aliens land on the reels simultaneously, they will award you with 6, 7 or 8 Cosmic Free Spins respectively. As an additional bonus reels 2, 3 or 4 will become wild for the duration. Free spins cannot be retriggered, but the two previously described features are available for the duration of free spins.
Our take
Despite common graphics, modest base game wins and your potential fear of alien abduction, Cosmic Invaders is a game well worth playing. Versatile bonus games will make up for said shortcomings by great frequency of occurring, and maximum jackpot of $ 3,750 is another reason to give it a chance.
