Kaiju

Theme

The battle for the preservation of humankind has begun!

Strange and giant creatures are roaming the streets of Japan in this futuristic slot. They are cursed to grow heavy crystals and stones on their skin which causes them a lot of pain and turns them into angry beasts that hunt down and hurt people. The ultimate weapon …

… protecting humanity is HA – 42, female cyborg. With infinite power source and superhuman strength, she goes face to face with these creatures and removes the crystals from their bodies so they could return to their harmless state of hibernation.

AND…

… ELK Studios was obviously inspired by kaiju movies made in Japan over the last several decades. The meaning of the word kaiju in Japanese means “strange creature” and the most famous of these disastrous monsters is certainly Godzilla.

When it comes to graphics and design, the developer did an outstanding job.

In the background …

… we can see one of the streets in Tokyo with skyscrapers and numerous neon business signs. The soundtrack is following the theme perfectly with electronic beats.

Betting Options and Symbols

This slot has 5 see-through reels, 3 rows, and 243 paylines.

If you want to join HA – 42 on her mission, you’ll need to place a bet in the range from 0.20 up to 100 euros per spin.

AND…

… What symbols will you encounter on the reels?

Well, the low – value icons are green, blue and red credit cards. The red one is the highest paying among them with 150 coins for 5 of them on the line.

The high – value icons are the crystals HA – 42 is trying to get from kaiju. They come in green, blue and red color and for the combination of 5 on one of the paylines green will get you 160 coins, red 200 coins and as the highest paying among them, red will reward you with 300 coins.

Special Features

One of the special features in this title is Vertical Laser. Any three matching symbols landing in a vertical line will activate laser that will reveal Wild on the top of the row above. It appears in both base and bonus game where it expands reels upwards. The reel stays that way until the end of the additional round.

Scatter is the HA – 42 and it only appears on the reels 2, 3 and 4. Landing 3 of them will trigger Bonus spins game or the Kaiju Battle. A player who manages to do this we’ll be rewarded with 7 spins and one of 3 kaiju is randomly selected as your opponent. Every one of these creatures has an individual pattern of 5 hot spot symbols on rows 4, 5 and 6. These hotspots need to be activated …

… by Vertical laser in order for a player to claim the victory. If activation happens, the full reel of sticky Wilds will appear and stay for the remaining spins. Each reel expansion will add a Wild to the row and give a player an additional spin. With expanding reels, the number of paylines can reach 7.776.

Conclusion

Overall, this is one exceptional looking slot with some quite unique bonus games. 

ELK Studios got the whole community buzzing and it’s obvious that this Swedish based developer keeps getting better and better with each year. After Hong Kong Tower and Wild Toro, it seems they struck gold again.

With remarkable graphics and quite exceptional gameplay, this title stands out in the sea of others based around the futuristic theme. Bonus features are one of a kind with expanding reels and an increasing number of paylines.
