Space Wars 2 PowerPoints Slot (NetEnt)
The original Space Wars was released about 7 years ago, and we now have a sequel from NetEnt by the name Space Wars 2: PowerPoints.
The new title comes with the same superior graphics synonymous with NetEnt games, and you will be enjoying a space-based theme.
Let’s look inside and see what the slot has in store for us:
Game Set-Up
Space Wars 2: PowerPoints offers a 6x6 reels grid which is large enough to host the Cluster Pays engine.
As a modern slot, NetEnt has given it lots of great features that include different modifiers (these end up triggering things like Bombs, multipliers, wilds, Zappers, as well as Blasters), free spins, and Tumbling Reels.
Betting and Prizes
Betting for real money is not all that expensive, and you only need $0.20 per spin to get started. However, if you are a high roller, or you are one of the players who go for the bigger challenge, the slot allows MAX real money bets of up to $100.
When it comes to payouts, Space Wars 2: PowerPoints can deliver payments of up to 10,020x the stake from just one spin.
Such high payouts are usually accompanied by extreme volatility, and it is the same case with this slot.
RTP-wise, NetEnt has done pretty well, and they have given the slot up to 96.05%, which is within the average for a modern slot.
Space Wars 2: PowerPoints Slot Features
Although this slot is more of a Cluster Pays game, I didn’t find its performance quite anywhere near a regular one. The title requires you to form combos of between 3 and 6 symbols, which may be done either horizontally or vertically.
Space Wars 2: PowerPoints relies on the Tumbling mechanic, and as usual with it, it will remove the winning icons and replace them with new ones.
Once you form a combo, the game collects Powerpoints in a special meter. Over time you will need this to trigger better multipliers.
Each time you form a combo of 4 symbols on a row/column, either vertically, or horizontally, you end up with a Blaster modifier. This feature gets rid of all regular icons from that row/column and boosts the number of Powerpoints needed in the meter.
A combo of 5-6 symbols will trigger a different modifier, which is the Zapper. The game will pick as many as 4 symbol variants that will be removed from the reels.
A bomb will be added to the slot’s reels once you form a combo using both vertical, and horizontal symbols. Once it explodes, the nearby symbols will also be removed. You will then get some Powerpoints which will be added to the meter.
Forming a combo of 3 symbols will leave a symbol behind (this will happen in one of the blank positions). If they appear during the free spins, they will also come with multipliers. This could boost the wins by up to 25x.
Once the meter collects up to 1,000 Powerpoints, the slot will allow you to trigger the free spins feature. With the game are increasing to 6x8 reels, it’s now possible to get Multiplier wilds, and eventually you can trigger the free spins.
Theme & Design
Whenever the space theme is mentioned, you can always expect that there are going to be wars, and aliens are likely going to be involved. Space Wars 2: PowerPoints has all these.
For the symbols, NetEnt has gone with a lot of cute alien creatures with images of crystals plus planets.
Conclusion
Overall, I can say that Space Wars 2: PowerPoints is one of the best latest releases by NetEnt.
I had lots of fun with its many features, and decent rewards, not to forget the high-end graphics that make it stand out from the rest.
