Reactoonz 2 Review

Reactoonz 2 Reviewed by Casinogamesonnet.com

Reactoonz 2 is a 7x7 grid slot from Play’n GO. This much anticipated game serves as the sequel to Reactoonz—a hit slot from 2017 that revolves around cartoonish aliens.

The original Reactoonz game is popular thanks to its fun theme and feature-packed play. Does Reactoonz 2 have what it takes to live up, or even surpass, the first game? We’ll discuss this matter by looking at the sequel’s graphics, win potential, features, and more.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

Reactoonz 2 features a 7x7 grid and a cluster-pays format. Wins form when you land 5+ matching symbols in a cluster going vertically and/or horizontally.

This format is the same one offered in Reactoonz. If you’ve played the original, then you’ll experience no trouble getting acclimated to the sequel.

Reactoonz 2 offers cascading wins, where symbols from winning combinations disappear. Meanwhile, icons from above fall into their places and allow for more potential payouts.

This slot looks almost identical to the first one. It stuffs 49 aliens into the 7x7 reactor and features charge meters on the sides.

The graphics and feel of Reactoonz 2 are also very close to the original. You’ll be looking at the same alien characters and blue background.

One difference from the original to the sequel includes two meters on the right-hand side. Reactoonz, by contrast, only features one meter on this side.

Reactoonz 2 Max Win, Payouts and Symbols

Eight aliens make up the regular symbols. Half of them have one eye, while the other half feature two eyes. As mentioned before, you need to land clusters of 5+ matching aliens to score wins.

You can win up to 500x your stake by getting a cluster of 15+ pink aliens. This game’s maximum payout is worth 5,083x your bet.

Reactoonz 2 also features four wild symbols. We’ll discuss each of these four wilds in the features section.

Reactoonz 2 RTP, Volatility and Betting Options

You can wager between €0.20 and €100 per spin. The Reactoonz 2 RTP is 96.2%, which falls short of Reactoonz’s 96.5% payback.

Play’n GO gives this slot an 8/10 volatility rating. We’re surprised at this high volatility given the maximum payout (5,083x). However, the plentiful features help pump up the volatility.

Reactoonz 2 Special Features

This game’s features revolve around cascading reels, various wild symbols, and charge meters. Here’s a closer look at how these bonuses work.

At the start of each round, a one-eyed alien acts as a fluctuating symbol. If it appears in a win, then an Electric Wild will land in an empty space during cascading reels. In addition to substituting for other symbols, Electric Wilds help fill the “Fluctometer.” Once the Fluctometer fills, it releases between 1 and 3 Electric Wilds on the grid. An Uncharged Wild also appears on cascades. It doesn’t possess any special abilities, but it can potentially turn into an Electric Wild.

This feature randomly adds 1-2 multiplier wild icons to the grid. The size of the wild symbol’s multiplier varies based on which character sits next to the reels.

Fluctometer

At the start of each round, a one-eyed alien acts as a fluctuating symbol. If it appears in a win, then an Electric Wild will land in an empty space during cascading reels.

In addition to substituting for other symbols, Electric Wilds help fill the “Fluctometer.” Once the Fluctometer fills, it releases between 1 and 3 Electric Wilds on the grid.

An Uncharged Wild also appears on cascades. It doesn’t possess any special abilities, but it can potentially turn into an Electric Wild.

Quantumeter

The Electric Wild zaps other symbols. All non-wild icons that get zapped go towards filling the “Quantumeter.”

This meter offers both Energoon and Gargantoon Wilds when it gets charged at certain levels. The four levels include:

• 55 charges (Level 1) = Four 1x1 Energoon wilds land on the grid.
• 85 charges (Level 2) = One 2x2 Energoon wild hits the grid.
• 110 charges (Level 3) = One 3x3 Gargantoon wild lands.
• 135 charges (Level 4) = 2x multiplier applies to all wins.

Splitting Gargantoon

When the 3x3 Gargantoon appears in a win, it splits into two 2x2 Gargantoon wilds during the cascade. Assuming these symbols win and cause another cascade, they break down into nine 1x1 Gargantoon wild symbols.

Wild Pair Explosion

If 2+ Electric Wilds remain on the reels after the action stops, they cause a “Wild Pair Explosion.” When the Electric Wilds are not adjacent, they cause the symbols between them and around them to explode. Assuming these wilds are adjacent, they destroy all icons between them.

Final Thoughts

Play’n GO chose not to mess with a proven formula. Reactoonz 2 is quite similar to the first game, but it does offer additional twists.

The Quantumeter is the big game-changer here. It delivers different wild symbols and even a multiplier upon reaching higher levels.

The Quantumeter, Fluctometer, cascading reels, and four wilds really spice up the gameplay. You’ll feel like zaps and explosions are occurring all over the place when these features start combining.

Strangely enough, these bonuses don’t combine for a massive win. The maximum prize is capped at 5,083x your stake, which is above average. The first Reactoonz offers a max win of 4,570x.

We love this sequel and Reactoonz 2 is definitely worth playing. It brings all the fun that the first slot does along with a few extra bonuses.

Release Date

Reactoonz 2 was released on October 2 2020.
