Cosmic Voyager Review

There has always been an eerie connection between ancient Egypt, the pyramids and the cosmos. For one, the 3 largest Pyramids of Giza supposedly line up perfectly with the 3 stars in the Orion's Belt formation, and the relationship has been heavily theorized in popular shows like Ancient Aliens. With Cosmic Voyager, Thunderkick has again bridged the vastness of space with egyptian mythology, and created a somewhat mystic blend of the book of genre and Starburst.

While their last release, Sword of Khans, was a purebred and highly potent Ra clone with an elegant twist, Cosmic Voyager is harder to pin down. The theme is all Starburst, but darker and without the gemstones, but the Expanding symbols feature is triggered in a peculiar and interesting way here. Combine this with a solid math model, and fans of the above-mentioned games have every reason to give this one a spin.

Cosmic Voyager slot Features

The defining feature of this game is the Expanding symbols, and these play out both in the base game and during the bonus round (with an added twist). You trigger the feature when you land a full stack of matching symbols on reel 1. Symbols on reels 2 to 5 that match the stacked symbol on reel 1, and that are also part of a winning combo, will then expand to cover their full respective reels.

The game logo symbol serves double duty as Cosmic Voyager’s wild and scatter.

The wild will step in for all regular pay symbols, as it usually does. You will be granted 10 free spins whenever you land at least 3 scatter/wilds anywhere on the same spin. Before the feature starts however, you will get a scatter win of 2x, 20x or 200x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 scatters, respectively.

You need to land only 1 mid or high level symbol on reel 1 to trigger the Expanding symbols feature during the bonus round. This makes it a lot easier than in the base game, and you can therefore look forward to plenty of Expanding symbols action. You will also get 10 extra free spins added to your tally whenever you land 3+ scatters on a free spin.

The setup in this game is pretty simple to understand, as the base game feature mirrors the bonus round.

Review Summary

Thunderkick continues to flirt with the book slot genre, as they did in their last release, Sword of Khans. This time they’ve clearly been inspired by Starburst, as Cosmic Voyager is set in deep space with expanding symbols as the main feature. Luckily, they have avoided the gemstones cliché, and filled the reels with mysterious geometrical shapes and masks instead.

The big twist here is how you trigger the Expanding symbols feature, and also the fact that this becomes much easier during the bonus round. Like with “book of” slots, the name of the game is filling the screen with matching expanding symbols. The potential has been sliced in half since the previous release though, trimming it down to the regular book slot potential of 5,000x your stake.

Pros

• Full stacks on reel 1 triggers Expanding symbols feature
• A single mid/high value symbol triggers Expanding symbols in the bonus round
• High volatility and 5,000x max win potential

Cons

• Half the potential of Sword Of Khans

If you love Cosmic Voyager slot you should also try:

Sword Of Khans - is Thunderkick’s first venture into the book of genre, and it comes with twice the potential of most similar games out there. What’s more, you will benefit from expanding symbols in the bonus round that can be upgraded with up to 3x multipliers.

Starburst - is NetEnt’s insanely popular and timeless classic, and a game most players have tried at least once. It’s all about expanding sticky wild respins, and you can win up to 500x your stake per spin here. The volatility is low, and you will also benefit from the win both ways mechanic.

Milky Ways - is a NoLimit City powered deep space title, and it plays out on 5 reels with 243 win ways.

Solar Wilds might land on the 3 middle reels at any time here, which can multiply your winnings up to 9x. The bonus round expands the reel set, and 2 wilds are guaranteed per spin.
