Reactoonz, a video slot that depicts cartoonish monsters in space, has been well-received since its debut, and now, there is a sequel, simply and fittingly called Reactoonz 2. The sequel retains the original 7x7 layout, incorporating the cluster pays mechanic.
iGaming software provider Play’n GO that created this title is a very well-known developer, praised for their consistently well-designed and mechanically contemporary and innovative video slot releases.
Theme
Same as the original title, Reactoonz 2 is a slot that takes you into space where a bunch of silly and cartoonish alien monsters spin on the reels.
While the aesthetic remains pretty much the same with the blue vortex being a backdrop for the semi-transparent slot machine, housing a large number of brightly-colored monsters, the design and graphics are undoubtedly much more modern and contemporary.
Betting Options and Functions
The betting range goes from the minimum of $0.2 to the maximum that counts $100, and the maximum payout is x3,000 of the bet, which may not be that attractive to the high-rollers, although the more casual players should find it to be adequate.
The RTP of 96.20, combined with a medium-to-high volatility makes for a pretty balanced gambling experience.
The cluster pays mechanic means that at least 5 of the same symbol has to be aligned in a cluster to get a reward. Pink Reactoonz character is the highest-paying one, rewarding x500 of the stake when 15 land in the cluster.
Features
With a somewhat different mechanic than your most video slot titles, it is to be expected that most of the features would work differently as well.
Filling the meters visible on the left side of the screen, each depicting one of the symbols is how you create bigger wins. Consecutive wins until there are no more clusters on the reels are particularly desirable.
Any regular symbol can become a fluctuating symbol. When this symbol gets removed from the reels, the Fluctometer starts to fill in, granting up to 3 Electric Wilds when it fills in. These substitute for any other symbol in the game, removing them from the grid.
There are also Uncharged Wilds that can land on the reels, turning into the Electric Wilds whenever a win happens next to them.
Another meter available in the Quantometer which brings symbols called Gargatoons and Energoons, respectively. These are charged by the Electric Wilds and there are four levels to the Quantometer.
The first level, grants 55 charges, delivering 4 1x1 Energoon Wilds, second delivers 85 charges and 1 2x2 Energoon Wild, the third level adds 110 charges, bringing one 3x3 Gargatoon Wild, and the fourth one rewards 134 charges, adding x2 multiplier to the Gargatoon Wilds.
After reaching the level 3 Gargatoon Wild will also trigger a cascade, breaking into 2 2x2 Gargatoons up to the 9 1x1 such symbols.
Our Take
This title can be pretty confusing in terms of the game mechanics for those who never came across a video slot that incorporates such a system like a cluster pays, cascading reels on a 7x7 grid, with the several meter features, all of which are present in this game.
On the other hand, fans of the original Reactoonz will be thrilled to know that the sequel comes across as quite a worthy follow-up to the first release.
