Pixel Quest

If you are an avid game player, you must have come across retro-style video games or at least wondered what they looked like.

If so, the creative Capecod Gaming team has decided to base their Pixel Quest online release on one such game, perfectly combining it with a medieval theme and some popular bonus features!

Theme and Symbols

Inspired by many stories from old video games, this online slot machine boasts a medieval theme featuring a hero trying to save a lady. Sounds familiar?

Although, at first look, you may get an impression the visuals of this online slot are not so good, go back to its title, as it suggests the game that relies on pixelized elements, ones you could find in the very first games ever, such as Super Mario.

With its fun story, the game comes with two main characters standing on both sides of the reels, showing the road to a forest in the background.

The dark reels are lined in wood, featuring colorful, theme-related icons showing a book, a sword, a bottle with a green potion, a mug, a bow and arrows, a shield, a hero with a cape, a skeleton, and a blonde lady.

This vintage game-themed online release also boasts two Wild symbols represented by the blue crystals and the skull placed on a heart, while the map is the Scatter.

Betting Options and Other Functions

The game is equipped with 5 reels and 3 rows while offering up to 25 ways to win and a max win of 1000x the stake!

However, this medieval-themed online title comes with a below-average highest payout percentage of 94.93%.

But, before you go back to memory lane, you need to set your bets that range from $0.1 to $250, which is suitable for both low and high-risk rollers.

When it comes to symbols, you will need at least three of them in combination for a winning spin, and when it comes to their values, the green potion, the book, and the mug are the lowest-rewarding ones, paying up to 100x the stake.

The lady is the most lucrative symbol, paying 1000x stake if you land 5 on a pay line.

Besides, both special Wild symbols also pay up to 1000x the stake while substituting for other symbols except the Scatter.

Special Features

Although there is only one way to trigger the game's bonus round, that does not mean you only have one option of playing it and winning some impressive prizes!

Land three Scatter map symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5, and you will trigger the Bonus Game.

When that occurs, you will be awarded 10 free spins!

But, here's the kicker!

Each time you do that, you will probably play the bonus spins in a different adventure mode randomly chosen:

• Grassland Freespins – these bonus spins come equipped with a Mystery symbol appearing on the middle reel and awarding an additional free spin with a random payout multiplier.
• Forest Freespins – this mode gives you several random appearances of the Crystal Wild symbol.
• Maze Freespins – this mode features a Level Up symbol landing on the middle three reels. When three of these symbols appear at once, they will award 4 additional free spins and access to a more winning level of the maze filled only with high-rewarding symbols.
• Magic Castle Magicspins – featuring only winning symbols.

During any adventure, you can have gold coin symbols that pay the total bet at once, as well as coin purse symbols that pay the bet x3.

But wait, this is not all!

Once you finish your free spins round, you will get access to a final mission/bonus feature that gives you a chance to get a big win! This is also chosen at random, so, you can get one of these options:

• Troll Bonus Game – gives you three times to hit the troll and get a random win.
• Monster Bonus Game – hit the monster and get a random win.
• Chest Bonus Game – choose among the chests that award a random prize or a level up to search among even richer chests.
• Magic Chests Bonus Game – choose one chest to open and be awarded a great win. 

Verdict

Capecod Gaming team indeed managed to enrich their slot portfolio with this authentically-looking online slot machine featuring theme-related visuals, simple gameplay, and a good pack of features.

Although the RTP percentage could have been higher, the fact that punters can play a different free spins game each time they manage to trigger the bonus is undoubtedly enough to attract you to give it a try!
