The Dead Escape Slot Review

It’s fair to say that “Habanero” and “Horror” are two words that are rarely mentioned in the same sentence. Steering clearly of anything R rated, Habanero has built its reputation via light-hearted slots titles that don’t exactly veer out of the path of cliché. So, you can imagine our surprise when The Dead Escape dropped into our laps, a brand new, blood-soaked slots title that certainly has a likeness top TV show The Walking Dead.

Zombies are dominating TV screens right now, so Habanero has jumped aboard the bandwagon as a means to breathe life into its online slots catalogue. Bucking the norm, it’s great to see a developer such as this embrace something new. The Dead Escape represents a real departure from the norm, so it’s certainly going to give players (and rival developers for that matter) plenty of food for thought.

Throwing players into a world of guns, gore, and zombies aplenty, The Dead Escape is sure to have players reaching for “Lucille” as the reels spin!

Gameplay

From the very moment this game loads you get the feeling that you’re playing a big-time slots game. Split across 5 reels and 30 paylines, the low variance of The Dead Escape – along with a 98% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. - make the base game of this release incredibly enjoyable. Spicing things up a bit, this game is also a pays both ways title, so if the numbers didn’t make it obvious, this is easily one of the most generous Habanero releases we’ve seen in some time.

When you venture onto the paytable, what you’ll see are 11 icons in total, the problem is that the low-value symbols dominate what’s here. While they’ve been styled in line with the theme of the game, they carry very little weight. The paytable of The Dead Escape only really kicks into high gear when you find the two main characters in the game, with both able to reward you with up to €500.

Features

Pushing this game to the next level, The Dead Escape unloads a wealth of bonus features, all of which appear to tie into the game’s theme. In a twist on the normal wild symbol, in The Dead Escape the zombie icon has the power to “turn” the two human symbols when it appears next to either of them on the reels. Don’t think that the survivors in this game will always go down without a fight though, as sometimes when a human symbol lands next to a zombie, he or she will attack to create a stacked zombie wild.

If the above hasn’t given you enough to sink your teeth into, The Dead Escape still has more in the locker to enjoy. Snapping up three or more bonus symbols in the game send you to the free spins round, which will see you secure 10 plus free spins to further your chances of walking away from The Dead Escape not just a survivor – but with a bountiful prize in hand.

Performance

We’ve been waiting some time for Habanero to really let loose and show us what they can do with an online slots title. In The Dead Escape the developer has obviously cranked up the creativity, with this game having spectacular levels of performance. The Dead Escape is clearly designed from the ground up; with the theme looking dramatically improved from what we’ve seen in some of the developer’s other games. Set against a barren wasteland, the reels are loaded with detail, with even the control panel tying into the game’s theme. The soundtrack also does a wonderful job of setting the tone for the action, as you can’t help but feel a sense of dread as the reels spin.

Conclusion

The Dead Escape is a true masterpiece of a game from Habanero, as it plunges players into zombie-packed, The Last of Us-eque wasteland. Far from the light-hearted fair that this developer has released in the past, it looks like Habanero has finally come of age with The Dead Escape. Overall, dramatics, theatrics, and progressive jackpots make this The Dead Escape a top-grade title in every sense of the word!
