The eternal struggle between good and evil. A rather intriguing topic as their existence seems to be ingrained in our minds since forever. It is this aspect that the giant NetEnt wants to exploit with its Archangels Salvation™ slot machine built with 6 reels and 100 paylines. Supported by the action of 10 symbols that range from strong to weak through medium which we will discover a little later in our review.
The screen shows us a magnificent image with impressive contrasts. On one side, it shows us a sky-blue and white world which, with its tender colours, refers to heaven. In the middle, an archangel with blond hair, beautiful with the silhouette of a goddess who watches over this small piece of sky with her wings spread out and in movement seems to give more reality. In one hand she holds her magic spear and in the other her fairy power, which concentrates like a snowball to send it onto the reels and turn the symbols into Wilds. In the process, helping us to form winning lines.
On the other side, of course, is the ugly demon with his hell horns and his torso shows a slit in the centre through which we can guess the eternal fire of hell. His breathing is slow, looking down to think of what he is going to do. In one of his hands there is a ball of fire and in the other he holds a flaming sword that warns in its own way what may happen at any moment.
In the middle of these two strange beings are seen the 6 reels of the Archangels Salvation™ machine with the symbols that as we said before are divided into three categories: the strong ones which are the Archangel and the Demon, the medium ones which are a mask and a lion on a blue background, horns and a skull on a red background. The same goes for the weak items which are in the shape of playing cards, the diamond and the heart are blue and the clover and the spade are bright red.
To get winning lines you need to get 3 to 6 items on the active lines and moreover they must be located side by side. The Scatter symbol is represented by a golden S and protected by a golden carcass with a purple background that flares up as it scrolls across the reels. The Wild is a beautiful lion with a W inside 2×2 and is only activated during the Heaven and Hell features and can substitute all symbols except the Scatters. In the game there are two Hot Spots.
These are two hot spot areas that are highlighted by a brighter interface. It will only turn on if a Wild of 2×2 is displayed. If it's above that, the Heaven feature can activate and if it's below that, the Hell feature will take over.
The Heaven Feature shows two columns of Wilds and if a Wild is in the hot zone then 4 columns will appear to make room for wins. The Hell Feature on the other hand will have 8 single wilds and if they are present in the hot zone they will multiply to give 16 more wilds in the form of fire spheres. The Archangels Salvation™ game also has a reactivation feature that activates if an entire Wild or game is visible in the hot zone again. It will generate 4 more Wilds symbols to get more profits. To win free spins, if one has 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters occupying two positions on the reels, one can get 10, 15, 20 or 25 free spins respectively!
