Apocalypse Quest Slot Review

What do you get when you combine steam-punk with the end of the world? Well, Apocalypse Quest, of course. It's a fitting theme to be released in 2020 as it goes without saying that this year is headed for 1 way only. So get your inner Madmax ready to fight for survival. I have my tin foil hat ready and armed with a spatula. Bring it on!

Gameplay

Apocalypse Quest is a 5x3 reel, 243 ways video slot powered by GameArtsoftware. Symbols include Card Suits Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades, Crossbows, Dynamite Bombs, Motorcycles, and Buggies. Special Symbols include the Wild, the Hero Bonus Symbol that triggers the Apocalypse Respins Feature, and the Heroine Scatter that triggers the Free Spins Feature. There are also 4 Fixed Jackpots up for grabs. More detail will be given in the Features section.

The game controls at the bottom of the reels are from left to right: the Information Icon that expands to the Paytable, then the adjustable Coin Value window, Total Bet window, Autoplay button, Spin button, Turbo Mode button, Balance Window, and Win window. At the bottom left of the screen, you will find the Menu icon (3 horizontal lines) that expands to the Game Rules, Settings, and Game History, followed by the Sound button.

Features

The features in Apocalypse Quest include the Wild, the Hero Bonus Symbol that triggers the Apocalypse Respins Feature, the Heroine Scatter that triggers the Free Spins Feature, and 4 Fixed Jackpots.

The Wild substitutes for all symbols, except the Hero Bonus Symbol and the Heroine Scatter, to form potential winning combinations.

Land 6 or more Hero Bonus Symbols to trigger the Apocalypse Respins Feature, awarding 3 respins. During the feature, the Hero Bonus Symbols that triggered the feature will remain on the reels and transform into Nemesis Symbols with a cash value prize attached to each of them. When the reels spin, only Hero Bonus Symbols can land in the vacant positions, and when they do, the respins reset to 3, and all the cash value prizes are collected. This occurs each time a Hero Bonus Symbol lands. The Nemesis Symbols can also reveal the Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpots. A full-screen of Nemesis Symbols awards the Grand Jackpot.

Land 3 Heroine Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger the Free Spins Feature, awarding 9 free spins with the Card Suit Symbols removed from the reels. It is also possible to trigger the Apocalypse Respins Feature during the Free Spins Feature.

Unique Features

Unfortunately, there are no unique features to this slot.

Performance

Apocalypse Quest makes use of pretty standard features that we have all seen before. The biggest draw card is the Apocalypse Respins Feature, where you can land the game's max win. The graphics, design, and animation are fantastic. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
is at 96.11%, with medium-high volatility.

Max Win

The max coin win is 1000x your stake.

Conclusion

As if the end of the world wasn't enough, Apocalypse Quest will send you on a quest to a measly 1000x max win, which for a relatively high volatile slot is rather bleak indeed. Speak about a mad max. However, the gameplay is exciting, and the features make the end of the world seem not so doom and gloom after all. I hope I am as badass as Charlize Theron when the earth goes for a ball of chalk.
