Life and Death review

Theme and Style

Are you ready to tread the fine line between life and death?

Life and Death is an apocalyptic-themed courtesy of Hacksaw Gaming, and players come closer to the final reckoning.

Join the 4 Horsemen at the end of the world. Those who relish a scary adventure should enjoy Life and Death.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The music, unsurprisingly, for Life and Death is quite haunting with organ notes sprinkled throughout.

Given the theme of this game, the soundtrack is designed to add some suspense.

Hacksaw Gaming is usually on point with its animations. Here, they’ve gone for a black-and-white theme where gothic-style symbols, such as heart eyes and goblets, occupy the reels.

Set inside a cathedral, Hacksaw Gaming has amplified the chilling nature of the slot to keep players enthralled.

All in all, the soundtrack and graphics match up perfectly for Life and Death.

Gameplay

Life and Death covers 6 reels and 5 rows, and there are 19 paylines.

Perfectly optimized for mobile devices, players can accrue wins by landing at least 3 matching symbols from left to right.

The 3 Heads is one of the most enriching symbols, paying up to 50x your bet for a 6-of-a-kind win.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Life and Death benefits from 4 Wild Multiplier symbols, which come with multipliers expanding when they land on a corresponding reel. If more than 1 Wild Multiplier is part of the same winning combination, the multipliers are added together before being applied to the win.

Wild Multipliers can land on reels 2-5, and each of these reels is connected to a special multiplier. For example, blue pestilence is linked to reel 2 and has the following multipliers tagged on: 2x, 3x, and 4x.

Meanwhile, the Devastation Bonus Feature is triggered by landing 3 FS Scatter symbols during the base game. Players are awarded 10 free spins, and if you see 2 FS Scatters, you’ll be given 2 extra free spins.

The Reckoning Bonus Feature comes into effect when players land 4 FS Scatter symbols. Unlike the Devastation Bonus Feature, the Reckoning Bonus Feature adds persistent activated Death Reels, where a connected Wild Multiplier expands into a Wild Reel.

The maximum win available for Life and Death is 15,000x your total bet.
