Max Quest - Dead Man's Cove Game Review

Max Quest - Dead Man's Cove is one of the action slots from Betsoft to complement the Max Quest series. The first one, Max Quest - Wrath of Ra, was released back in 2018, and now Betsoft comes up with 4 games under the same title and with the same heroes, though, featuring different themes and locations. The Dead Man's Cove edition is focused around pirates, or to be more precise, the undead hoard which players have to battle for a chance to win prizes of up to 6,000x of the bet!

Captain Blackbeard's zombie crew goes relentless, so this time players will have to stand against enemy legions on the high seas. Alongside the pirates, heroes will have to fight back the fearsome sea creatures as well as legendary bosses. Like other slots in the series, this one is an immersive role-playing action game, which doesn't feel like a common slot. Betsoft skilfully mixes up completely different genres, such as shooter and RPG, and adds a final touch by implementing the essence of real-money gaming. Let's take a look.
