Space Wars 2 Powerpoints Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

We’ve had our share of cartoon-like aliens from slot machines, but when NetEnt decides to try its luck at it, I think that it’s still a good theme to explore. They turned it into a large game area, with plenty of symbols showing us those cute furry aliens, and I found it quite enjoyable to watch. Look beyond the reels, and you will find asteroid fields and planets, so the action is set in space somewhere.

Check out the reels, and you will find on them three types of symbols. The first five show us colorful little planets, of different types. Next, we get five cute aliens, with 1 to 3 eyes and different colors for their skin/fur. There is only one more symbol to mention for the regular side of the slot, the top-paying Red Crystal.

Developer

We haven’t seen as many slot machines from NetEnt in recent years, not since they got acquired, but the brand is still there. I think you will be happy with the quality of their current slot machines, and obviously the same goes for their older games as well.

How To Play It

No need to worry about how much goes to each line, since the game doesn’t use anything of the sort. Instead, you get a simple betting range of $0.20 to $100, used for the entire game area.

Space Wars 2 Powerpoints will spin 6 reels of 6 symbols each, and within that game area you will discover a Cluster Pays engine at work. 3 to 6 symbol combinations are possible, either horizontally or vertically (you can end up occupying an entire row or reel, at best).

Special Features

Quite a few features and modifiers are present inside, depending on things like the size of your winning combinations. First though, let’s learn more about the Avalanche. It triggers after you’ve formed a match win, and it is used to remove the winning symbols. The Avalanche then brings new symbols to the reels, allowing for more matches to form.

Column/Row Blaster: requires the formation of a 4-symbol combo. All regular symbols from that row/column will be removed then.

Zapper: needs a combo of 5-6 symbols during regular spins, or of 5-8 symbols during free spins. The game removes up to 4 types of symbols from the game area, of any type.

Bomb: if you form combinations both horizontally and vertically, and the two combos intersect, then you will get a Bomb in that position. The nearby symbols will be removed through the bomb’s explosion.

Wild & Multiplier Wild: form a 3-symbol combo, to get a wild symbol in one of the available positions. During free spins, you can get multiplier wilds which boost wins by up to 25x (influences the Powerpoints number as well).

There are also combos of features that could trigger at the same time:

• Combo 1: Column/Row Blaster and Bomb

• Combo 2: Zapper and Bomb

• Combo 3: Zapper and Column/Row Blaster

As for the free spins, for those you will need to collect 1,000 Powerpoints by forming combinations and getting them removed. Multiplier wild values can boost the value of these Powerpoints, so it’s not as impossible as it might seem. The game area for the free spins is larger, with 8 rows available for the 6 reels.

Maximum Payouts

I’m OK with the prizes that are promised by Space Wars 2 Powerpoints. Over 10,000x the stake could be awarded at the end of the round, which is pretty good in a high volatility slot. RTP-wise, look for a slot machine that uses the 96.05% setting.

Summary

Overall, Space Wars 2 Powerpoints feels like a decent new release from NetEnt. It’s got complex features, cute graphics, and decent-enough rewards, so overall it could be enjoyable for quite a few players.
