Theme – get ready for the ultimate battle

With a zombie/ancient Greek theme, the Spartans vs Zombies slot sees you join an ultimate battle between super-powered zombies and Spartan warriors. Graphically, it’s set in Ancient Greece with a battlefield forming the backdrop. Either side of the reels, you will see the opposing warriors as they look to engage.

It’s not quite the 300 film but you get the picture. The soundtrack is triumphant and insinuates an epic battle is about to commence. Visually, the focus is on the symbols which take up most of the visual area.

On the reels, you’ll see A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Then you will see spears, helmets, site Delphi, Sparta temples, zombie and Spartan warriors. The zombie and Spartan warrior symbols are the highest paying with 2.5, 5 or 42.5 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. Importantly, you can mix and match payouts from either of the 2 best value symbols.

Then you have the Wild symbol which appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5. Substituting for all paying symbols above, wilds only appear during the base game. You also have the Goblet Scatter which appears on reels 1, 3 and/or 5. The other symbol you’ll come across is the Zombie Sticky Wild which appears only during the Zombie Free Spins feature.

Spartans vs Zombies Bonus Features

The Spartans vs Zombies slot comes with 4 bonus features. Landing 3 Goblet Scatters on a base game spin will award the VS Battle Bonus. Here either the Zombie or Spartan Free Spins feature will be awarded, randomly. They can also be triggered by completing the respective meters. They offer free spins with Sticky Wilds and multipliers or Wild Reels with multipliers.

Zombie Free Spins feature

In the base game, any Zombie symbols in view adds to the Zombie Meter and sets the hearts to 3. With every spin, the hearts on the Zombie Meter decrease by 1. If you complete the Zombie Meter, the Zombie Free Spins feature will be triggered.

With 8 free spins awarded, there’s a chance that 1 or 2 Zombie Sticky Wilds will be added to the reels on each free spin. If 2 positions contain Zombie Sticky Wilds, the second Sticky Wild will contain a multiplier between 2x and 10x. Finally, every Goblet Scatter landing will reward you with 1 additional free spin.

Spartan Free Spins feature

Spartan symbols appearing in the base game will add to the Spartan Meter with hearts set to 3. With each base game spin, the hearts on the Spartan Meter decrease by 1. The Spartan Free Spins feature is triggered when you complete the Spartan Meter.

Once in, you’ll receive 8 free spins with a 2x multiplier and 2 picks. You pick 2 shields which increase the free spins tally or multiplier. With each free spin, there is a chance reels 2, 3 and/or 4 will change to Wild Reels. Finally, every Goblet Scatter will give you 1 extra free spin each time.

Super Stake feature

Like with most Stakelogic slots, there is a Super Stake feature. Doubling your bet, your chances of triggering free spins increases significantly.

Spartans vs Zombies Review Summary – ultimate battle can lead to big payouts

It’s worth stating that the Spartans vs Zombies slot offers something a little different theme wise and visually. Whilst they may not be executed perfectly, it’s refreshing to see Stakelogic put a fresh spin aesthetically. Theme mashups are becoming increasing popular. Nolimit City have done this with Benji Killed in Vegas which combines Las Vegas with hip-hop.

In terms of the gameplay, I like that you can trigger the 2 free spins features multiple ways. Landing 3 Goblet Scatters will result in 1 of the 2 features awarded randomly and completing the Zombie or Spartan Meter will trigger the respective feature.

The Spartan Free Spins feature sees you pick shields to win extra free spins or increase the multiplier. Once in, up to 3 reels can transform to Wild Reels. I prefer the Zombie Free Spins feature which can benefit from 1-2 Zombie Sticky Wilds on each free spin. Landing 2 will see a multiplier up to 10x added the second Sticky Wild.

With 7,000 x bet max wins available, the Spartans vs Zombies slot can deliver decent payouts if the multipliers work their magic. That said, it lacks that killer instinct other multiplier slots offer. If you take NetEnt’s Starburst XXXtreme for example, multiplier Starburst Wilds can reach 150x and combine up to 450x. Importantly, this can lead to 200,000 x bet max wins per spin.
