reapers slot free play

Whenever a winning cluster has formed, a reaper matching the symbols of the winning cluster will appear on an empty space adjacent to the cluster. The reaper will transform your winning symbols into energy cells, which can then be collected.

After a reaper has collected five energy cells, it will enable its charge ability, allowing it to shut down one of the protective barriers. Later barriers require additional energy cells to be deactivated, with the final barrier needing a total of six charge cycles before it can be passed safely.

If a reaper collects one of the orb-shaped power core symbols, its special ability will be activated. The colour of each reaper is used to determine which of the following special abilities it has:

• Energizer: This makes every reaper generate an additional energy cell.
• Linker: Links with other reapers to allow the exchange of energy cells.
• Transformer: Transforms symbols into higher-paying alternatives.
• Expander: Allows the reaper to collect symbols from within a 4x4 radius.
• Erupter: Multiplies the value of all collected wins up to a maximum of 10x.

Unlocking all 15 barriers to trigger the bonus round took me significant time, but this does mean that it is a predictable process that is easy to monitor your progress towards. 

I can imagine many players wondering if it is worth continuing to play if they run out of money before triggering the bonus round; if you have unlocked more than ten of the barriers and are having fun, then I would definitely keep going. 

If you haven’t made much progress with unlocking the barriers and do not find the over-the-top activity on the playfield exciting, perhaps it’s best just to cut your losses and try something else!

Like most other aspects of Reapers, the bonus buy facility offered here does not work the same way as that offered in other online slots! You can choose to purchase between one and five guaranteed reapers, but this does not guarantee that you will unlock every barrier required to enter the bonus game. 

Purchasing five reapers is enough to give near-certainty of reaching the bonus game, but the price of doing so is an eye-watering 425x the current bet. The lower options cost 130x, 50x, 18.4x and 3.4x, so you’ll need to decide how much you are willing to pay for a significantly increased chance of reaching the high-paying bonus game.

I’ve only really scratched the surface of Reapers in this review, and if you don’t take the time to read through the tutorial before playing, then I can guarantee you will have close to zero idea of what is going on once the lasers start firing! 

The idea behind this game is fantastic, but the execution struggles a little. The problem with adding any kind of story or skill element to an online slot is that some players will find a way to cheat, whilst others will lose out simply by not paying enough attention to the action on-screen. 

Print Studios has done its best to get around this by ensuring that all of the action that takes place is fully automated, but that, in turn, reduces the appeal of watching everything unfold. It’s a lot like online bingo – once the computer is marking off your cards for you, what is left of the game for you to “play”?

I hope that slot developers will find a way to create more story-driven, immersive experiences, and Reapers is undoubtedly a step in the right direction. It isn’t quite there yet, but it’s worth checking out if only to get a glimpse of the direction we could be heading in.
