Reactoonz (Play'n GO): Review
Reactoonz is a 7x7 cluster pays slot with cascading
symbols. Symbols drop down onto the grid to 3️⃣ form winning combinations whilst wins are
achieved by landing five or more symbols in a connected cluster - horizontally and/or
3️⃣ vertically. Winning symbols are removed and new symbols drop in to fill the grid. The
game continues to cascade until 3️⃣ no new winning combinations can be created.
All wins
during a game round contribute to increasing the Quantum Leap charge meters 3️⃣ one by one.
When a charge meter is fully charged, one of the following quantum feature is added to
the 3️⃣ queue randomly:
Implosion : Transforms 3 to 6 symbols into wild symbols, while also
destroying all adjacent symbols
: Transforms 3 to 3️⃣ 6 symbols into wild symbols, while
also destroying all adjacent symbols Alteration : Chooses 1 random one-eyed symbol, and
all 3️⃣ matching symbols turn into another symbol. In case if there are no one-eyed symbols
on the grid, feature can choose 3️⃣ any available symbol
: Chooses 1 random one-eyed
symbol, and all matching symbols turn into another symbol. In case if there 3️⃣ are no
one-eyed symbols on the grid, feature can choose any available symbol Demolition :
Destroys all one-eyed symbols and 3️⃣ all matching symbols
: Destroys all one-eyed symbols
and all matching symbols Incision: Cuts a wild symbol into the centre, and 3️⃣ creates two
intersecting diagonal lines through the grid. Both lines will show the same random
symbol.
When all five meters are 3️⃣ fully charged, the Gargantoon feature is added to the
queue. The Gargantoon first adds a 3x3 wild symbol to the 3️⃣ grid in a random position. If
no more cascades are possible, it first becomes two 2x2 wild symbols before finally
3️⃣ ending up as nine 1x1 wild symbols.
New symbols drop down from the top to fill the grid
before each move. 3️⃣ If no more cascades are possible, the Quantum features in the queue
are triggered. The game round continues normally, allowing 3️⃣ the charge meters to charge
up for more effects, possibly creating additional wins. Charge meters reset only at the
end 3️⃣ of the game round, if there are no more winning combinations present.
On any
initial non-winning spin, there is a chance 3️⃣ for the Gargantoon to drop 4 to 8 wild
symbols onto the grid. 4 matching normal symbols adjacent to each 3️⃣ other in a square
shape automatically form Giantoonz. Wins are doubled in any winning combinations if one
or more Giantoonz 3️⃣ are part of it. One random one-eyed symbol type is marked as
fluctuating symbol in each spin. If any of 3️⃣ the marked symbols are part of a winning
combination, they leave 2 wild symbols behind. Wilds substitute for all normal
3️⃣ symbols.
Reactoonz (Play'n GO): Verdict
Initially, Reactoonz may come across as a bit
confusing and complicated so you just have to sort 3️⃣ of go with it and see what happens
until you start to get the hang of it. Play'n GO have 3️⃣ specialized in these types of
cluster slots which have become extremely popular. The potential is certainly there and
the main 3️⃣ game allows for a lot of action and tension while trying to charge the meters.
The game engine is outstanding 3️⃣ as is the mathematical model which is well balanced in
spite of its volatile nature.
Beware though, Reactoonz can be extremely 3️⃣ tilting. It's
not uncommon to reach the 3rd or 4th bar just to see the progress vanish in a
heartbeat. 3️⃣ Moreover, expect the Gargantoon to position itself in the worst possible
place on the grid as well. Overall, however, Reactoonz 3️⃣ is not only one of Play'n GO's
finest cluster slots, it's also one of their best games ever released to 3️⃣ date.
Don't
Miss...
Some three years following the release of the original Reactoonz, Play'n GO
finally launched a sequel. Simply titled Reactoonz 3️⃣ 2, it comes with slightly higher win
potential and a whole new set of modifiers. There's also a Gigantoonz slot 3️⃣ which takes
the story of the Toonz even further, you might want to have a look at that one as
3️⃣ well.
