ABOUT
The Chaos Crew is back ruling the streets after a three-year-long hiatus. This time, the gang is back with new props in their arsenal for their mischief. This includes brand-new Super Bonus rounds and a ground-breaking Best of Bonus add-on that lets you enjoy 3 bonus games for the price of 2!
Betting Options and Bonus Features
The game possesses a strikingly vibrant art style teeming with bursts of color, neatly framed within a graffiti-outlined 5x5 gameplay setup. The pay table consists of 10 distinct symbols. These are categorized into lower-tier symbols and premium ones. Their payout structures range from 0.1x to 10x the bet, offering decent winning prospects.
In addition to standard paying symbols, the game features a few special ones with unique mechanics. One of these is the Cranky Cat symbol, which is a Wild symbol that replaces other regular ones to form winning combinations. The symbol additionally brings in a random multiplier value, intensifying the related wins. The multipliers can merge together if more than one Cranky Cat participates in the win.
The Epic Drop feature is another aspect that breaks the monotony of the base game. Randomly triggered, it swiftly transitions into an engaging bonus, generating a minimum of 5 multiplier symbols on the reels. Once active, it retreats to the normal gameplay on the subsequent spin unless the Epic Drop reactivates.
The Free Spins bonus round feature activates with 3 Scatter symbols on any reels during the base game. This transitions to special reels, enhancing the re-spins counter to 3 lives that refresh each time you land any symbol. However, instead of regular pay table symbols, only special symbols like the Cranky Cat can land as well as a brand new symbol called the Sketchy Skull.
These new Sketchy Skull symbols carry values of up to 100x and every time they land their value will be added to their corresponding reel. They also have two additional Epic and Epic Sticky versions. Epic ones will add their value to all reels while Epic Sticky Sketchy Skulls will stay on the grid for the rest of the bonus round utilizing the same effect.
Cranky Cats possess a much more powerful effect than in the base game. They also have a value of up to 20x but whenever a Cranky Cat lands, it will multiply the current number on its respective reel. And, like the Sketchy Skull, it also has Epic and Epic Sticky versions.
The Super Bonus activates on landing 4 Scatter symbols simultaneously during the base game. It functions the same way as the regular Bonus game but guarantees a drop of at least 7 Sketchy Skull or Cranky Cat symbols on the first spin.
Another way to activate the bonus rounds is through the Best Of Bonus feature. Landing 3 Bonus symbols will activate not just one but three bonus rounds! However, you’ll only be able to collect one reward from the highest-scoring feature out of the three. To activate the same idea for 3 Super Bonus rounds, you’ll need to land 4 Best Of Bonus symbols.
As always, Hacksaw Gaming provides an extensive Bonus Buy menu that lets you jump into individual features from the get-go. It includes options like Bonushunt FeatureSpins which enhance the chances of triggering the bonus game and the Epic Drop feature. Plus, it facilitates triggering the Bonus and Super Bonus rounds at set costs. The Best of Bonus and Best of Super Bonus can also be availed at their respective charges, enhancing the excitement and potential winning opportunities.
Roshtein’s Take
Chaos Crew 2 adds a lot of new features and ideas to the game. The original Chaos Crew is a fan favorite and the chat loves it so for a sequel to live up to the hype of the original was always going to be a hard task. However, Hacksaw seemed to understand that and chose to not fix something that ain’t broken. The new game feels more like a content update with additional expansive options in the Bonus Buy menu plus the innovative Best Of Bonus mechanic that gives you more bang for your buck.
