Blast from the Past: The Reactoonz are back!

React to Reactoonz 2 as we compare the new with the old

Exactly three years after the original Reactoonz slot game came and swept the floor with its crisp design, funny looking alien characters, and action-filled cluster pay mechanic, Play’n GO is ready to release their sequel.

Now, when sequels to games, movies, and series are released, it’s more often than not that you’re left with a feeling that they tried too hard.

That the hunger for innovation was too strong and that they lost what made the original so great, somewhere along the way.

Thankfully for us, that’s not at all the case when it comes to Reactoonz 2!

A summary of Reactoonz (2017)

The original Reactoonz has one Quantum meter and a Gargantoon, waiting to be released. Symbols on the grid that make up a 2×2 block turn into a larger one with an added 2x multiplier.

The four Quantum features are triggered when the meter for each feature is reached:

If the whole Quantum meter is filled, the 3×3 Gargantoon wild drops onto the grid.

One random one-eyed symbol is chosen to be “fluctuating” each round. Wins with this symbol leave two wilds behind.

At any time, 4-8 wilds can drop onto the grid.

The new mechanics of Reactoonz 2 (2020)

Reactoonz 2 is released on the 1st of October 2020, exactly three years after the original.

In Reactoonz 2, one more meter has been added, and the Quantum meter works slightly differently.

The fluctuating symbols are still there, but now they’ve got a “Fluctometer.” The meter will add 1-3 Charged wilds to the grid at the end of a round.

Charged wilds will electrify all symbols on the grid that match those included in a Charged wild-win. These are then added to the Quantum meter.

The Quantum meter has four levels, and each level triggers its own feature:

But wait, there’s more!

Un-charged (dead) wilds can appear on the grid. These are charged by an adjacent wild, or by the Wild Pair Explosion feature. This feature happens at the end of a round if two charged wilds remain on the grid.

It’ll either destroy all adjacent symbols and those in between the wilds or, if the wilds are next to each other, all symbols are removed and added to the Quantum meter.

What’s our Reactoonz conclusion?

First of all, explaining the features of Reactoonz 2 is a LOT harder than explaining them for the original.

Secondly, we are in love with both of these games!

In the sequel, we really get to see all of the Reactoonz come to life with some very good looking graphics, and even the music is made to perfection this time around.

Although the origin game has a special place in our hearts, we can’t help to find ourselves day-dreaming about electric aliens and the buzz of huge clusters turning into rupee winnings in front of our eyes.
