Revenge of Cyborgs

Revenge of Cyborgs, a futuristic combat slot from Fugaso, comes as close to a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game as any slot yet scene. As the violence between man and machine unfolds, players win either way, as free spins are triggered by either cyborg or human victory.

Theme

An epic battle is underway in this title, as a human warrior and a hulking cyborg (seemingly mor orc than machine) stand at either side of the five reels. The action is set in a flight hangar, with space ships and missiles in the background and red lights flashing. Gaming symbols include three blue and three red warships, as well as space age renditions of the playing card values ace through ten. Red and blue planets act as wild, moving across the reels as battle is done. Eerie, futuristic sounds combine with high strings and guttural exclamations to heighten the sense of drama.

Betting Options and Functions

Any endeavor, peaceful or warlike, that extends beyond the earth’s atmosphere requires impressive attention to detail in order to succeed, and Fugaso’s excellent design team has risen to the challenge here. There are 20 fixed paylines in this coin-based slot, each paying from left to right. Bet level is adjustable from 1-10 and coin value can be set from 0.01– 1.00, yielding an overall per-spin betting range of 20–200 coins, or 0.20–200.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is on offer up to 100 spins at a time, with a variety of available limits on win, loss, and triggering of a bonus feature. Quick spin is also available for players who prefer a faster game tempo. The overall theoretical RTP is well above average at 96.00%.

Features

Fugaso’s name is short for ‘future gaming solutions,’ so it’s no wonder that this slot is forward-thinking not only in this game’s style but in its substance as well. There are re-spin and free spin features, both available in cyborg as well as in human forms. Re-spin features begin when the blue or red planet appears on one of the outer reels – it will slowly migrate across the reels, with one side damaging the other after every spin. Four re-spins occur each time a planet appears, with wins paid each time.

Free spins are triggered not by the appearance of any scatter symbols, as is usually the case in online slots, but by the eventual defeat of either human or cyborg at the hands of the other. When one character’s health drops to zero, 15 free spins are awarded, during which a double win multiplier is in effect for all wins. During free spins, the winning sides’ ships will be frozen in place by energy fields whenever they appear on the reels, transforming them into sticky wilds that last throughout the feature. (Players should take note – changing the bet level will reset both health meters to 100%, delaying the arrival of free spins).

Our Take

By any reasonable measure, Revenge of the Cyborgs is an outstanding slot. The epic theme, adventurous visuals, unique gaming elements, solid bonuses, and outstanding RTP are impossible to argue with.
