Aliens Slots

Sigourney Weaver was the star of the original Alien movie – along with her cat – and Aliens, the sequel, took us back to that famous set-to between the titular aliens and the people trying to survive their encounter with them. This slot game brings that idea to life, so let’s see where it might take us.

Which game format does Aliens use?

You have five reels in this game, but you have 15 lines, which is a few less than we were thinking of.

Betting options begin at one penny per line

This would provide you with a 15-cent wager, but there are other options too, maxing out at $1 per line.

What can you expect from the Aliens slot?

This is far different from anything else we’ve played. There are three stages to the game – the Search, the Encounter, and the Hive. The search requires you to find prizes to fill up the game meter. At that point, the Encounter will begin. This takes you to a series of tunnels where aliens are lurking. You can spin the reels as usual here, but you will need to remove aliens as you do so.

Finally, the Hive will reduce the reels to just two. You need to get a grenade that is strong enough to take out the Queen Alien. These reels also provide you with a multiplier, so the idea is to try and get the biggest prize you can from the reels.

Make sure you load the demo to learn more about Aliens first

Since there are no regular features in this game – not as you would expect, anyway – it makes sense to load the practice game that fortunately comes along with it.

What will you make of Aliens?

The movie was impressive, and NetEnt has certainly done a magnificent job with the slot game version, too. We were unsure what to expect, and the game certainly did spring plenty of surprises. In that sense, it does closely follow the shocks and surprises seen during the movie. Are you ready to meet the Aliens?
