Apocalypse is a new NoLimit City slot for 2024. In this post-apocalyptic world, humans have mutated into zombie-like delinquents, and a once-thriving city is reduced to chaos as skyscrapers burn, filling the skies with grim grey smoke. Apocalypse is dark and gritty, delivering intense gameplay, high volatility, and a whole host of lucrative features to sink your teeth into.
About Apocalypse
The slot features a 6-reel, 4-row grid with 4,096 ways to win. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p to £100 per spin. The math is highly volatile, with a default RTP of 96.03% and a maximum win of 20,000x the bet.
Apocalypse is set in a post-nuclear wasteland, reminiscent of a dystopian zombie movie. Burning buildings and cars, crumbling buildings, and a dark, gritty colour palette are complemented by a jazz swing soundtrack that ramps up during the bonus rounds.
On the reels are low-paying symbols, including a crossbow, a gas mask, a fuel can, a food tin, and a first aid kit. Zombie-style characters make up the high-value symbols: the Creator, Triplet, Cutter, Licker, and Crawler. The xNudge Wild and Super xNudge Wild substitute symbols to help create a win.
Gameplay and Features
If you are remotely familiar with NoLimit City games, you know they come with a multitude of features, and Apocalypse is no different. There are xNudge Wilds, Super xNudge Wilds, Carnage Spins, Doomsday Spins, Cataclysm Spins, and NoLimit Boosters.
xNudge Wilds
The xNudge Wilds only land on reels 2 to 5. When they do, they nudge down to the bottom of the reel. Each nudge increases the multiplier by 1 each step. If an xNudge Wild lands on the bottom position of the reel, it acts as a regular wild.
Super xNudge Wilds
The Super xNudge Wilds only appear on reels 3 and 4. To trigger this feature, you’ll need a Super xNudge Wild on both reels on a spin, or they’ll act as regular wilds. Like the xNudge Wild, they nudge down to the bottom position on the reels, and the multiplier increases in each position. It then expands to fill the entire reel. Multiple Wild multipliers combine to give a total multiplier up to a max of 8x.
Carnage and Doomsday Spins
When 3 or 4 scatters land on a spin, the Carnage or Doomsday Spins trigger. The Scatters that triggered the feature are replaced with random value symbols worth between 1x and 40x symbols,
The Free Spins come in two parts, Hoarding and Feasting:
Hoarding
The Hoarding feature starts with 3 spins that reset each time a new value symbol lands on the reels. The Scatters that triggered the feature are replaced with random value symbols between 1x and 40x symbols.
Feasting
The Feasting feature begins with 5 free spins in the Carnage Spins or 10 in the Doomsday Spins. Dormant reels at the top and bottom of the grid become active, revealing character symbols. The character symbols bring various modifiers that create new value symbols, upgrade existing ones, or multiply their values.
Cataclysm Spins
The Cataclysm Spins trigger when 5 scatters land on a spin. During the Feasting feature, only character symbols are active.
Nolimit Boosters
The game has two booster options: xBet and Super xNudge Feature Spin.
xBet – This feature costs 50x the bet and triples the chances of triggering the Carnage or Doomsday Spins.
Super xNudge Feature Spin—This feature costs 50x the bet and guarantees two Super xNudge Wilds on the same row. The maximum win in this feature is 20,000x.
Nolimit Buy-Ins
Players can buy their way into the bonus features:
Carnage Spins for 80x the bet,
Doomsday Spins for 500x the bet, or the top-tier
Cataclysm Spins for 2,000x the bet.
The Lucky Draw option costs 444x the bet for a random chance to trigger any of the features.
Conclusion
Apocalypse is a visually stunning slot that showcases NoLimit Cities’ acute attention to detail in its artwork. The slot combines familiar features like the xNudge with new features that enhance the overall experience. Are you brave enough to venture out into the post-apocalyptic baron land where mutated beings roam? If so, there’s a chance you could bag the top prize of 20,000x, but quite what you would do with it is another matter!
