We listen to our players, stay in tune with the latest trends, and never shy away from trying something completely out of the box. The gaming landscape is always evolving, and so are we!
Your latest release Galactic Invaders was a real hit in the VSO office. Can you tell us what makes this game so special?
We are thrilled to hear that Galactic Invaders was a hit with VSO! What makes this game special is its blend of retro sci-fi vibes with an alien invasion on Earth. The captivating storyline follows our heroine Rachel Page on a mission to save humanity from the sinister alien leader, Zerk.
Innovative mechanics like the SwiftHits feature bring fresh twists and exciting ways to win. The dynamic free spins round transport players to the heart of the battle with intense music and atmospheric changes.
It also promises an unforgettable journey through a retro sci-fi world due to its engaging mix of classic and modern gaming elements. We are pleased to see the response to this title.
What made you choose the galactic theme for this title?
The galactic theme for Galactic Invaders was chosen to blend the excitement of a retro sci-fi adventure with the thrill of an alien invasion on Earth. We wanted to capture the nostalgic charm of classic 60s sci-fi movies and shows while infusing our own creative twist into the game. This theme allowed us to explore unique, quirky characters and craft a captivating storyline centered around the battle for humanity’s survival. The cosmic setting also provided us with opportunities to introduce innovative gameplay mechanics and dynamic visuals, offering players an engaging and immersive gaming experience.
That game really made us excited for more. Can you share the details of any other upcoming slot releases with us?
We’ve got some exciting releases in the pipeline that we think you’ll enjoy. Have you checked out Cerberus Gold yet? We’re so proud of this one and had such a ball creating the concept. It’s a little darker than our usual but you should definitely give it a go! Each coin sparks fury within the beast, igniting a symphony of fireballs, multipliers, and spine-chilling LockNWins.
It’s about mixing the nostalgic appeal of a retro-style game with our trademark flair
We’ve also got some exciting releases in the pipeline that we think you’ll enjoy. First up in June, we’re introducing 3 Cherry Frenzy. This too is a bit of a departure from our usual style; we wanted to test the waters with a classic theme and see where it takes us. It’s about mixing the nostalgic appeal of a retro-style game with our trademark flair. We’ve added a few modern twists, of course, and a vibrant backdrop to keep things fresh and lively.
Then in September, we’re diving deep into Greek mythology a title was not quite ready to divulge yet! But you’ll get a front-row seat to the power and spectacle of Mount Olympus. This one brings together rich storytelling and captivating visuals, and it offers a truly immersive experience. We’re excited to share this adventure with you, and we think it’s going to leave a lasting impact. Watch this space!
Stay tuned for these titles. We’re always looking to innovate and push boundaries, and these games are just a glimpse of what’s on the horizon.
