Soul Slayer Slot Review

Introduction to Soul Slayer

Soul Slayer is a 6x5, 40 payline video slot from Stakelogic where I step into the boots of a demon slayer in a city overrun by monsters. Bets range from 0.40 to 80 per spin, so it feels aimed at regular slot grinders rather than penny players. From the first few spins, the heavy metal vibe, comic-book explosions and those Slayer Wilds made the base game feel far livelier than most high volatility titles.

Theme, Gameplay & Payouts in Soul Slayer

In Soul Slayer the action plays out on 6 reels and 5 rows with 40 fixed paylines, so hits tend to drop across wider patterns rather than simple lines. Spins start at 0.40, which feels a touch steep for testing, but I got used to it. The city backdrop is cartoony rather than gritty, packed with portals and neon, which suits the over-the-top demon slaying angle.

Soul Slayer runs on a default RTP of 96.01 percent, though lower versions exist, so I always check the help screen before I commit. Volatility is high, with long gaps mixed with sudden bursts when Wild Multipliers line up or the bonus lands. The stated max win is 5,000 times the bet, which is decent for this sort of feature-heavy slot, even if it will not tempt pure max-win hunters.

Special Features & Mechanics in Soul Slayer

In terms of features, Soul Slayer leans hard on its demon slaying hook. The core mechanic is the Slayer Wild on reel one, which targets matching Demon symbols anywhere in view, slices them down and converts them into Standard or Multiplier Wilds. This can snowball in the right setups, especially when Incursion triggers and fills the grid with portals that spit out stacks of the same high paying Demon.

On top of that you have the Combat bonus game, which is almost a separate turn based battle mode bolted onto the slot. There is also the option to buy the feature outright, plus the familiar Super Stake ante bet that adds more Scatters for a price. Between Slayer Wilds, Incursion, Combat, Feature Buy and Super Stake, I never felt short of things happening, even on rough patches.

Wild Symbols in Soul Slayer

Soul Slayer uses three flavours of Wild, and once I got my head around them the flow of the game made far more sense. Standard Wilds can appear on any reel and substitute for regular symbols as you would expect. Slayer Wilds only drop on reel one in the base game and are the trigger for the demon slaying effect that turns matching Demons elsewhere into extra Wilds on the same spin.

When Demons are cut down by the Slayer Wild, they can respawn as Multiplier Wilds carrying values of 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. These Multiplier Wilds still substitute, but the value on them multiplies win lines they form part of, so a single good screen can jump several levels. I found that lining up Slayer Wilds with Incursion portals and a few multipliers was where the slot really started to wake up.

Combat Bonus Game in Soul Slayer

The Combat Bonus in Soul Slayer starts when 4, 5 or 6 Scatter symbols land, dragging you out of the city streets and straight into a gauntlet of demons. The mode plays out like a turn based fight, with the Slayer facing three regular demons and then a boss on each level. Health and damage values sit on panels, and you trade blows while reels spin to decide each action.

During Combat you see special symbols, each tied to attacks, healing or coin collection. Coin symbols, sometimes carrying multipliers from 2x to 10x, build separate totals for the Slayer and the current demon. Slayer Sword and Slayer Shotgun hits chunk away at demon health with 300 or 100 damage, while Demon Claw and Demon Teeth do the same back. Health Potions can swing a fight, throwing in between 100 and 300 healing.

The feature ends either when you drop to zero health or finally finish off the Dragon Lord at the end of level three, at which point all coins collected are paid. Runs can feel brutal, with some fights fizzling out on poor reels and others exploding when multipliers land at the right time. I had rounds where little happened, and others where one lucky spin turned a middling bonus into a serious hit.

Feature Buy & Ante Bet (Super Stake) in Soul Slayer

For those times when I grew tired of chasing Scatters, Soul Slayer gives two ways to push the bonus frequency. The Feature Buy lets you pay 100 times your stake to jump straight into the Combat Bonus, skipping the base game grind. If you prefer something softer, Super Stake bumps the bet by 1.5x, plugs more Scatters onto the reels and roughly doubles the odds of natural bonus triggers.

Final Thoughts on Soul Slayer

Soul Slayer feels like Stakelogic having fun with a loud, slightly nostalgic comic-book theme, and for me it mostly works. The city backdrop, chunky demon designs and metal leaning soundtrack create a clear identity, even if some character animations look a little stiff. What kept me spinning was how tightly the visuals and features are tied together, so every Wild slash or portal burst fits the whole demon hunting story.

From a gameplay point of view, I rate Soul Slayer as a volatile slot with genuine moments of excitement, especially when Slayer Wilds chain into multipliers or a deep Combat run. The 5,000x cap is not outrageous, yet big hits feel possible when coins and multipliers stack up. On the flip side, dead spins in the base game and the odd brutal loss in Combat can sting, so bankroll management matters.
