Overall
Inspired’s Space Invaders slot is truly faithful to the arcade game of the 80’s with both the graphics and animations as well as some of the prominent gameplay elements that the game is known for. These elements are highlighted in multiple bonuses but also thanks to the reel modifiers that do not warn and appear at any spin.
