NetEnt’s Space Wars is a stylish slot with five reels and 40 paylines, featuring cutting-edge 3D visuals and action-packed gameplay that truly delivers. Graphics are reminiscent of Pixar animated movies, with main symbols represented by various aliens that look more as if they were looking to have a good time instead of winning the titular space wars.

Graphics & Theme

The main theme in Space Wars is an imaginary conflict between different alien races over space crystals, displayed in a rather cartoonish and simple way. The background is space, filled with planets and what is left of other celestial bodies. Aliens are uniquely and cutely designed, with large eyes and hilarious bodies, which slightly diverges from the whole ‘space wars’ idea, but nonetheless appeals to the eye. The music and sound effects are meant to create a futuristic atmosphere, with each win being accompanied by loud outbursts. The background music is both entertaining and relaxing.

Gameplay

The Wild symbol is clearly visible at first notice, while the red crystal is the highest paying symbol and the one you’ll want to see fill those reels.

Despite the lack of distinct special bonus games, Space Wars appeals to players with base game features such as the cloning chamber on the right side of the reels. Each winning combination will send one of the characters from the combo into the chamber and clone them. The following spin is a re-spin that features the cloned character as a stacked symbol on the reels, increasing the chance to form winning combos and doubling each win.

While we usually prefer to have at least one or two bonus games, Space Wars slot has enough base game features to make up for the lack of these features. The game is quite entertaining, and 3D animations as well as sound effects make it another home run for NetEnt. If you enjoy aliens and cute games, this one certainly won’t disappoint, and if you manage to fill that cloning pod with those red crystals, get ready for some serious winnings.
