The moment you start playing the game, you will find yourselves in some sort of factory where so many things went wrong. It looks like there has been a big explosion with some toxic materials involved. In my opinion, this explosion created our team of superheroes. I might be wrong.
While the fire is still burning in the background, you will have to hit the Spin button. Do not worry, it is not hot out there. Another thing that you will love about the Nolimit City title is the wicked soundtrack.
Mind Flayer is the leader of this team, and he reminds me of Professor X. Torch will light you up with his fires. Misery appears as a combination of Storm and the Black Widow. Toxicity will shoot you with his biowaste bazooka, while Havoc looks like the younger brother of the Hulk.
Mayhem is the golden superhero that appears only during free spins and replaces all high-paying icons. Toxic barrels are used as Scatters that trigger free spins. The Wild is there to substitute for all regular icons.
If you want to survive in the post-apocalyptic world, you need to follow the rules strictly. The 2021 release features 5 reels, 4 rows, and 1024 ways to win. The number of ways to win can go up to 110,592 with the little help of xWays and Infectious xWays.
To win payouts, you need matching symbols on at least 3 successive reels, beginning from the far-left reel. Betting goes from $0.20 to $100 per spin. Infectious 5 xWays is of high variance and comes with an RTP of 96.02%. The max payout can go up to 55,555x the bet.
When you have a group of superheroes, you can only hope for loads of additional features, eh? With Infectious 5 xWays, you will have plenty to play for. Wilds and xWays will help you create Infectious xWays, which will bring you more ways to win.
Scatters will allow you to trigger 4 kinds of Free Spins features, which have a different number of free spins and different volatility. Let’s go one step at a time.
The xWays feature was created by the good people of Nolimit City. When the xWays symbol appears on the reels, it will turn into a randomly chosen regular symbol. Also, it will reveal 2-3 icons of the same kind on the board.
When a Wild and the xWays symbol land on the reels together, the Infectious xWays feature is triggered. The revealed xWays symbol will infect all other icons of the same kind on the reels, and all infected icons will expand to the same size.
When you land 3 or 4 Scatters on the reels, you trigger the Infectious Spins Bonus mode or, to be precise, the Free Spins feature. Here, you pick between Toxic Hazard and Lock n’ Load options.
With 3 or 4 triggering Scatters, Toxic Hazard delivers 9 or 10 free spins, respectively. Between 1 and 5 Wilds will land on the 3 central reels during each free spin. Wilds guarantee Infectious xWays each time the xWays symbol lands. During the feature, Infectious xWays reveals only superhero icons.
If you pick Lock n’ Load, for 3-4 Scatters, you get 7-8 free spins, respectively. This feature comes with extreme volatility. Again, Wild land on the 3 central reels. This time, they are sticky, remaining in their place throughout the feature. They can also carry 2x-3x multipliers.
Again, Infectious xWays are guaranteed each time xWays lands. Infectious xWays reveal only high-paying icons.
It took me a while before I managed to trigger the Infectious Spins feature. I tested both options and had more luck with Toxic Hazard. My biggest win here was 500x the bet. With Lock n’ Load, it was not that easy to land wins and were never that big. At least, that was the case with me.
The Mayhem version of free spins will only be activated when triggered by 5 Scatters. Again, you pick between the Toxic Hazard (12 free spins) and Lock n’ Load (10 free spins). The rules are the same as in the ordinary Infectious Spins feature.
The only difference is that all superheroes turn into one golden superhero – Mayhem. This will allow you to land massive wins. I never managed to trigger the Mayhem mode in regular play. However, I tried it when I bought the feature.
As you all know, I am strictly against this option because I believe that it is only used to make you strapped for cash. For the first time in my life, I need to say something good about this option. Since I was not able to trigger the Mayhem option traditionally, I decided to buy it.
The prices for the regular modes are 75x (3 Scatters) and 140x (4 Scatters). Mayhem mode costs 555x the bet and I took it. This brave investment got me a total win of 1,763.9x the bet with the Toxic Hazard Mayhem option. For the first time, I doubled my investment, which was amazing.
This feature is triggered when you reach the top payout of 55,555x the bet in one spin. Unfortunately, this feature has never been triggered.
Infectious 5 xWays is an amazing pokie machine in almost every aspect. It is packed with extra features that are both entertaining and rewarding. The visuals are top-notch, as well as the soundtrack. The reels run as smoothly as possible.
On the other hand, free spins are not that easy to trigger. The Mayhem mode is almost impossible to activate unless you buy it. It will depend on Lady Luck and whether she likes you or not, eh? Either way, the Nolimit City title is worth your attention and your money.
Infectious 5 xWays surprised me with the biggest By feature payouts in my career. That is why I rate the game 8.5.
