Take a Trip Down the Memory Lane with Space Invaders Pokie

The famous Space Invaders arcade game created by Tomohiro Nishikado back in 1979 is about to get an online pokie version thanks to the good people from Playtech, which will most definitely please all those arcade junkies that spent hours in the arcades trying to defend the Earth from extra-terrestrials.

The released teaser brought back many memories, especially because Playtech decided to keep the core spirit of the game alive and designed a video pokie that pretty much resembles the original.

This five-reel, 10-payline pokie will once again make you fight those nasty aliens, monsters, spaceships and flying saucers that try to invade our beloved planet, only this time you are given a chance to win some money if you manage to spot the invasion.

What We Love

We love the fact that Playtech decided to stick to the original and used some retro graphics to follow the theme. The idea of playing a video pokie in form of an arcade game will attract thousands of arcade lovers who are eager to have their revenge against those alien invaders who sucked their pockets dry in the arcades. The soundtrack is also completely authentic and will definitely please those older gamers.

Although we are still to test the product, the special features seem very interesting, and we cannot wait for the chance to shoot that Cannon once again and destroy as many aliens and flying saucers as we can, winning some decent money along the way. In the Invaders Turn Wild feature you will be given an opportunity to shoot at aliens and turn them into Wilds, creating many opportunities for landing winning combinations, which will be doubled, since the Wilds will also act as multipliers.

The UFO Wild feature also offers plenty of Wilds, nine of them to be exact, once you manage to get the UFO and the Cannon in the same reel. After vaporising the UFO, you will win a respin and up to 9 Wilds which can result with some cosmic payouts.

We also love the fact that paylines pay both ways and that symbols may land in stacks, so you can earn some mega wins during base game as well.

What We do not Like

It is still too early to talk about the downsides of this Playtech title, especially because we are big fans of arcade games that spend a great deal of pocket money on those damn machines. What could probably happen during gameplay is that special features will not be that easy to trigger.

Even in the original game aliens always proved to be worthy opponents, so we do not expect it will be that easy to shoot them down with your cannon.

Worth Playing?

Based on what we have seen so far, we will definitely give Space Invaders a go once the pokie is released. As already said, the theme of the 2016 release will definitely attract gamers from all around the world, as well as the wide betting range that will please both high rollers and those who like playing for fun.

We have to admit that we simply love the retro appearance of the pokie, while the maximum payout of 150 times the line bet seems more than tempting. So prepare yourselves for a proper space adventure and shoot your way through extra-terrestrials to win some cosmic prizes.
