Reapers Slot Review

Reapers Slot Overview

Reapers from Print Studios drops you on a distant planet where an ageing energy facility has been overrun by quirky critters. You control semi‑automatic drones called Reapers that harvest Energy Cells as you spin. The game sits on an 8x8 grid with cluster wins and a mission structure built around shutting down barriers, so it feels closer to a sci‑fi video game than a traditional slot.

For me, Reapers is a commitment slot rather than a quick flutter. You are working through stages, watching tutorials, learning how the different Reapers behave and how Energy Cells fill the meters. Wins can feel sparse while you grind barriers, but when the mechanics click, the progress from grid to grid becomes gripping, especially once you see how the Bonus Game can swing the balance.

Reapers Slot Details

Technically, Reapers is an 8x8 cluster slot where five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically form a win, while smaller clusters of four can still pay when collected by a Reaper. Stakes vary by operator, but I usually see ranges starting around 25p and climbing to £50 a spin. Default RTP is 96.47% with lower settings such as 94.44%, very high volatility and 20,000x max win potential. Base game hit frequency sits near 25%, and the Bonus Game turns up only once in a long while, so patience is mandatory.

Reapers Theme, Audio + Symbols

The first thing that struck me about Reapers was how polished it looks. The reels sit over a futuristic energy facility with the Reaper weapon tucked to one side, ready to fire onto the grid. Electronic music and sharp sound effects give it a proper sci‑fi arcade feel. A built‑in tutorial explains each mechanic the first time you hit a new barrier, which helps tame the learning curve.

All regular symbols are alien critters in grey blocks, coloured blue, green, purple, orange and red. Small clusters pay from a fraction of the bet, while larger groups up to 25+ critters jump to anywhere between 25x and 500x stake, with red critters on top. Power Core symbols do not pay directly but charge Reapers, while the hulking Juggernaut Reaper only appears during the Bonus Game.

I have played Reapers on both desktop and mobile, and the 8x8 layout works surprisingly well on a smaller screen. The HTML5 build keeps everything responsive, and the symbols remain clear even when several Reapers and Power Cores are active. On a phone, the constant movement of critters being collected and grids changing between barriers actually feels even more like a handheld game.

Bonus Features in Reapers

The whole structure of Reapers revolves around its barriers. There are 15 in total, grouped into stages of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 barriers, each with its own grid. When you land a winning cluster, the matching Reaper drops beside it and uses the Collect feature, turning adjacent matching symbols into Energy Cells. Every five Energy Cells give one charge, and charges are spent to shut down barriers and progress.

Each of the five Reapers carries a special ability that triggers when it collects a Power Core. Energizer makes every Reaper generate an Energy Cell, Linker lets them share collections, Transformer changes purple critters, and Expander scoops symbols in a 4x4 area. The red Reaper adds a random win multiplier up to 10x. Clear all 15 barriers and you reach a five‑level Bonus Game with a roaming Juggernaut Reaper and increasingly valuable grids, while in some regions a Buy feature can guarantee extra Reapers and nudge RTP up towards 97%.

Reapers Expert Verdict

As a seasoned slot player, I rate Reapers very highly, but with caveats. The learning curve and bonus frequency mean this is not for casual spins or tight bankrolls. When the system comes together though, clearing barriers and climbing Bonus Game levels delivers a rare sense of achievement alongside serious hit potential; for me it comfortably sits around 4.3 out of 5 as one of Print Studios’ most ambitious releases.
