5 Men Gaming- Mars Invasion- (quick slot review)

[Garf79]

I have said before that there are so many providers out there making great games and some not so great games for us to play. Well I had not even hear of this provider until I found their web site and played some of their games on demo. 5Men Gaming is a provider that is emerging in the gaming industry, on their site they say they have 7 years experience but I could not find if 5Men had been making games for 7 years or that they worked for another provider before setting out on their own.

After playing through a few of the slots on the 5Men website, I think they have some pretty good slots, they are well made and have appealing smooth graphics. The overlay they have on there slots is unique and certainly has its own charm. My first thoughts of playing Mars Invasion is that it felt a little bit like a Novomatic slot and the audio to the game backed this up. Although it felt Like  Novo, it was original enough to have its own character.

                       

Mars Invasion is a pretty basic 5 reel, 3 row, 10 win line slot and the 2nd top symbol symbol appeared to look a little like Elon Musk? you can see 2 of the symbols on line 1 in the picture above, so you can make your own mind up.

                       

To trigger the free spins you need to land 3 or more Mars Scatters anywhere on the reels, you can see I landed 4 scatters above and this pad an extra 50x for the 4 scatters.

                        

During the free spins which can re-trigger you get the Alien bonus, the Alien symbol is wild and during the free spins you are guaranteed 2 fully extended aliens each spin, this is essentially 2 wild reels every spin.

                         

Having the 2 wild reels makes getting bigger wins much easier and the game does have a bit of potential with a wild line paying 500x and a line of Elon Musk paying 200x. Overall it was a sound slot, nothing massively innovative and nothing we have not seen before. But in terms of games being released today it is pretty good all round in my opinion.

Mars Invasion has an RTP of 95%-which is on the low side and it is a medium volatility game, with a hit rate of around 30-40%. The Max win is low-only 649x, this I am sure will deter some players looking for really big wins but it is nice if you can get it.
