Space Wars XXXtreme Megaways Slot Review

Space Wars XXXtreme Megaways: Slot Overview

Space Wars XXXtreme Megaways picks up the old Space Wars idea and throws it into a Megaways engine out there amongst the stars, gas clouds, and aliens. I sit on the bridge of a spaceship, looking through the windshield at a giant planet and drifting space rocks, while a semi transparent grid of reels floats in front of me and the Container Pod hums away on the right hand side.

This version runs on a Megaways layout where each reel can change height from 2 to 7 rows, creating up to 117,649 ways to win when everything lines up. Bets start at 0.40 per spin and can climb to 320, so I can treat it as a low stake space jaunt or a high roller blast. The flow is very much spin, hit a win, then watch the respin try to build something bigger.

Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme Slot Information

Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme uses 6 reels that change between 2 and 7 rows on every spin, with a Megaways counter at the top showing exactly how many ways I am playing for. Wins land when matching symbols hit on three or more adjacent reels from the left, with no gaps in between. Only the longest matching combination per symbol pays out, but wins on different Megaways are added together and it runs fine on mobile or desktop.

The min.bet is 0.4 and the max.bet is 320, which is much higher than I am used to seeing at both ends of the scale. The default RTP is 96.14 percent, though there are versions at 94.27 and 88.40, so I always check the info panel. Volatility is classed as high and the max win is capped at 14,400x the bet, with that top hit rated at roughly 1 in 50 million spins.

The lower paying symbols are six fantasy characters that look like quirky little monsters and award between 0.1x and 0.125x the bet for a 6 of a kind. Higher paying ones are four other characters plus the red gemstones, which pay between 0.25x and 2x the bet. It is not always obvious which set is which apart from the gems, so I tend to stare at the paytable first, helped by wild symbols sitting in the mix.

Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme Slot Features

The features in Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme are stripped back to Wild Symbols, Re-Spins, and XXXtreme Spins, so there are no free spins rounds or elaborate bonus games breaking up the action. At heart it is a spin and respin machine, with winning symbols stored in that container thingy, stacked up and sent back onto the reels, while the XXXtreme side of things comes from paying more to lock in higher Megaways counts on every spin.

Wild Symbols – Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme

During the main game and any re-spins, wild symbols can appear on reels 2, 4, and 6 in Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme. They substitute for all symbols to form winning combinations, and the substitution pays the highest possible winning Megaways combination according to the paytable. I like seeing them drop in on a stacked respin, because even a single wild in the right place can push a half decent line into something much more interesting.

Re-Spins – Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme

Every time I land a winning Megaways combination in Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme, a Re-Spin is triggered after the win has been evaluated. The symbols that made up the winning combination appear stacked on the reels during the re-spin, using exactly the same number of reels and rows as the spin that started it. That stack can create a brand new winning combination without costing me extra stake on the trigger round.

Re-spins are played at the same bet value as the spin that activated them, and any wins from them are added to the original hit. When I get a chunky stack across several reels with plenty of Megaways open, the suspense ramps up fast, especially if the Container Pod is stuffed with a better paying alien. It feels simple, almost old school, yet those repeat hits can grind out steady returns between tougher streaks.

XXXtreme Spins – Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme

XXXtreme Spins in Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme are an additional betting option that guarantees a certain number of Megaways on every spin. For 10 times the bet I get at least 10,000 Megaways, while 75 times the bet buys me a minimum of 50,000 Megaways, with the grid still able to climb right up to 117,649. Once I switch this mode on it stays active until I manually flick it back off.

This feature turns what is already a volatile slot into a proper adrenaline ride, because the stake jumps even though the base rules stay the same. I like using the cheaper 10x setting in short bursts when the game feels warm, but the 75x option can burn through a balance quicker than expected. It offers raw hit potential through sheer ways volume, yet there is no safety net from a separate bonus round.

Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme Slot Conclusion

Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme is out of this world, literally, and it leans hard into that low budget sci-fi atmosphere I enjoy. The quirky characters from earlier Space Wars adventures are back, the Container Pod links it to the original, and the whole thing feels quite close to that first game on a core level while the Megaways augmentation process juices the numbers and makes even ordinary spins feel that bit more loaded.

What I really want to see here is simple. Hit a win, watch the symbols slide into that container thingy, then take the respin with everything stacked and hope the ways counter is showing something tasty. Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme quite magnanimously piles those winning symbols up, and when it connects across several reels, the low hitting mechanic suddenly spits out surprising totals without needing any complex feature ladders or elaborate mini games.

It is not a bad game at all, but I could have hoped for something more, especially as any player who enjoys advanced bonus games has to look elsewhere for their fix. Here it is basically a spin plus a respin, with XXXtreme Spins bolted on, yet the max win of 14,400x the bet still looks impressive. I treat it as a handsomely presented space slot that can swing hard but feels very playable when handled with care.
