Octo Attack Slot Review

Octo Attack Slot Overview

Octo Attack is a casino slot from Hacksaw Gaming where Earth is under attack by eight-legged creatures. This creature is your new best friend, Otto the Octopus, and he may seem like an other-worldly alien, but he’s actually quite friendly, at least when it comes to handing out features and bonuses. The world in which the game is set in is quite depressing because of the abundance of trash and monochrome color that falls over most of the game. But that doesn’t mean the game is all frowns and sadness, as Otto has cooked up a few features to help paint the reels with Multiplier Wilds and the like for a chance to win the max win of 10,000X the bet.

Octo Attack is a video slot from Hacksaw Gaming with 6 reels, 7 rows, and uses Cluster Pays needing 5 or more symbols to create a win.

Free Spins, Feature Buy. 

Octo Attack Slot Information

The game is set in what seems to be an abandoned city where trash lines the streets, and presumably, our friend Otto is the reason for that. Talking about Otto, he accompanies you next to the playing grid as you play with a sci-fi arcade soundtrack bumping in the background. What is unique that might not need to be pointed out are the game's colors, or lack thereof, as the game sports a unique monochrome style with only a few symbols and Otto being brandished in color. The game can be played on most desktops, mobiles, and notepads. Wins are made by landing 5 or more of the same symbols in a cluster. 

The lower-paying symbols are grayed-out graffiti like a fishhook, a lightning bolt, a speech bubble, a cube, and a heart. Creating a win with 26 of the same symbols will pay out 100X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are colored trash like a fish skeleton, a beer can, a mushroom, an ice cream, and a smiling shark. You will also find Multiplier Wilds, Scatters, Epic Scatters, and Otto himself on the reels, but more on that in the next section. 

Octo Attack Slot Features

What features are available in the slot Octo Attack? 

The features are Multiplier Wild Symbols, Ink Stains, Eye of Otto and Tenta Grab, Eight Arm Is The Charm Free Spins, Give Me Eight! Free Spins, and Feature Buy.

Multiplier Wild Symbol

Wild Symbols help create winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Scatter and Epic Scatter symbols. Wild Symbols may also land with a random multiplier ranging from 1X to 10X. 

Ink Stains

When a winning combination is made, the winning symbols will be removed, paint the winning position in ink, and then new symbols will fall into place from above, this continues until no more winning combinations are made. The Ink Stains are removed in-between spins, or after having been used by the Tenta Grab feature. 

Eye of Otto and Tenta-Grab

The Eye of Otto symbols trigger the Tenta-Grab feature when it lands on an Ink Stain position. When activated, a tentacle will randomly grab one symbol on the grid and replace all Ink Stained positions with the grabbed symbol. 

Eight Arm Is The Charm Free Spins

Activated by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols on the same spin, and the number of initial spins is equal to the number of Scatter Symbols that triggered the feature. During the Free Spins feature, Ink Stains are not removed in-between spins until the Tenta-Grab feature has been activated, using up all Ink Stains in the process. 

Give Me Eight! Free Spins

Activated by landing 3 or more Epic Scatter Symbols on the same spin, and the number of initial spins is equal to the number of Scatter Symbols that triggered the feature. During the feature, Ink Stains are not reset in-between spins until they have been used up by the Tenta-Grab feature, and the tentacles can only grab Wild or Wild Multiplier symbols.

Feature Buy

The game offers the possibility to purchase special features directly from the main game, and these are: 

3X = Activates the BonusHunt FeatureSpins, where each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus game. 

50X = Activates the Tentacular FeatureSpins, where each spin guarantees at least one win and 1 Eye of Otto symbol lands. 

100X = Activates the Eight Arm Is The Charm Free Spins. 

300X = Activates the Give Me Eight! Free Spins. 

Octo Attack Slot Conclusion

It has to be said that Hacksaw Gaming is definitely taking a bit of a risky leap in making a game monochrome, this can be an issue where it can make a game less interesting to look at or harder to keep players invested as they play. However, this isn’t the first time we have seen a game like this by Hacksaw Gaming, as games like SixSixSix and Slayers Inc are also monochrome games. This doesn’t take away from these games' fun themes, great graphics, and attention to detail, but it can be argued that maybe these games would have been better with color, however, that can be left up to personal preference. 

If we move on to the gameplay side of things, we have a quite unique game that isn’t overly complicated with an average stat spread. The features are always present in both the base game and either of the bonus games and offer solid, consistent wins with the combination of Multiplier Wilds and Tumbles. Because the features are always present there is quite a nice balance between chugging through the base game as you have chances to hit some lucrative and satisfying wins. But it can’t ignored that during the Free Spins, especially the Give Me Eight! Bonus that the volatility kicks the game up a notch and you could be looking at a chance to land the max win of 10,000X the bet. So, with the game's fun and kind of unique features, we definitely recommend you check this game out, especially if you are on the edge and feel deterred by the game's lack of color. 

Octo Attack is a slot with a unique monochrome vibe and fun features that make the game easy to pick up and start spinning for those big wins.
