Octopus Armada Review

Blue Guru Games are a fresh studio that wants to keep coming up with interesting themes for its slot games. Octopus Armada certainly is intriguing from that point of view, but we always need to dig even deeper if we are to give you the full picture. With that, let’s start by examining the slot’s playing field. The setup has 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 paylines and there’s even a little twist, since all the paylines pay from both left to right and right to left.

The theme of Octopus Armada has an interesting theory about octopuses actually coming here from a different planet. It’s not as whacky as it might sound, but the conclusion that there are alien octopuses coming here to destroy us is as hilarious as it gets. In any case, the audiovisuals are all well-crafted, and we are happy with how the slot looks and sounds.

Octopus Armada Slot – Reels Screen

The mathematical model of Octopus Armada combines a medium volatility level with a good 3,079x jackpot that’s above what medium volatility slots tend to offer. The hit frequency is then always around 26.69%, which means that you can expect to get a win once per 4 spins on average. The betting range is incredibly wide, starting at just £0.30 and going all the way up to £200 per spin. Finally, it’s worth noting that Octopus Armada comes with RTP ranges, so you’ll get different values at different online casinos. The possible values are 95.78%, 94.59%, 92.22%, and 89.85%.

Octopus Armada Slot Features

The symbols of Octopus Armada come with cartoony designs and that’s absolutely fine with us. The low pays show your classic card ranks from Tens to Aces, though, so things aren’t as original and creative as they could be. In any case, these can net you up to 3.33x your bet for a full combination. For high pays, there are ray guns, space stations, spaceships, rockets, and generals. Generals are worth the most – five of them will net you a nice 50x payout.

There’s only one special symbol in Octopus Armada and it’s the Octopus Wild symbol. It substitutes for other symbols, as you’d expect, but they can also copy themselves once or twice for a better effect.

Octopus Armada Slot – Free Spins Feature

While copying themselves, Octopus Wilds can sometimes turn into Golden Octopus Wilds and trigger the Free Spins feature. You’ll receive a set of 8 free spins to start with, with all landing Octopus Wilds being automatically collected in a meter that’s placed right above the playing field. If you collect 4 Octopus Wilds, the lowest-paying low pays and high pays will get removed from the reels. On top of that, you’ll get 4 extra free spins, to a maximum of 16 extra!

Review Summary

Although Octopus Armada offers a great theme and some sweet visuals, its gameplay is nowhere near as good as it could’ve been. The concept of Wilds that copy themselves is nice, of course. The Free Spins feature doesn’t appear all that often, however, and there’s not much else to look forward to. Don’t get us wrong – Octopus Armada is a pleasant game and we are happy to recommend it. It’s just that it could’ve been a real blockbuster with a bit more work!
