Aliens Among Us - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Aliens Among Us Slot Overview

Aliens Among Us from Hacksaw Gaming plays alien invasion for laughs, with a tinfoil-hatted farmer on one side and a government agent denying everything on the other. It is a reskin of the studio's earlier Life and Death, so the mechanics are carried straight across onto a 6x5 grid with 19 fixed paylines.

The system runs on four colour-coded Alien wilds that land only on the middle reels, each carrying a multiplier. When more than one joins a win, their multipliers add together, and each can expand to fill its own reel. Three or four scatters lead to the two free spins rounds, Beam Me Up and Farmageddon. The maximum win is 15,000x your bet. At Slots Temple, under our Best Slots Odds Guaranteed commitment, we publish Aliens Among Us at the highest available RTP of 96.36%.

How to Play Aliens Among Us

RTP, Volatility And Betting Range

Aliens Among Us runs at a top RTP of 96.36%, which sits a little above the industry average. Lower 94.26% and 92.33% configurations exist, along with a floor down in the high 80s, so it's worth checking which is live wherever you play.

The medium to high volatility, rated 4 out of 5, is paired with a hit rate of around 27.9%, so wins land on roughly one spin in four while the bigger results depend on the multipliers stacking up.

How to Win at Aliens Among Us

Aliens Among Us pays the standard way, with three or more matching symbols on one of the 19 fixed paylines, reading from the left across adjacent reels on the 6-reel grid. The low symbols are grey 10 to A royals, paying 3x to 10x your bet for six of a kind, while the high symbols, the hats, FBI badges, ray guns, bats and magnets, pay 15x to 50x for six. The line pays are modest, so the real work is done by the Alien wild multipliers, which land on the four middle reels and turn ordinary wins into much bigger ones.

Features

Everything in Aliens Among Us runs off the four Alien wilds. They shape the base game and both free spins rounds, with each round giving them more room to work.

Alien Wild Multipliers

The four Aliens are colour-coded, and each is tied to one of the middle reels. They substitute for all the paying symbols, and when an Alien is part of a win, its multiplier is applied to that win. When more than one Alien joins the same win, their multipliers add together rather than multiply. Each Alien can also expand to fill its whole reel, but only if it lands on its matching reel and forms part of a win. The multiplier values climb the further right the Alien sits.

So a green Alien on reel 5 is by far the most valuable, reaching up to 200x on its own, and a spin where several Aliens combine is where the biggest wins come from.

Beam Me Up

Land three scatters to trigger Beam Me Up, a round of 10 free spins that plays like the base game but with the Aliens landing more often. Landing two or three scatters during the round adds another two or four spins.

Farmageddon

Four scatters trigger Farmageddon, which starts from the same 10 free spins and boosted Alien rate as Beam Me Up, then adds one change. Once an Alien has expanded on its own matching reel, that colour is activated, and from then on it can expand into a full reel on any of the four middle reels rather than only its own, as long as it is part of a win. That is what gives Farmageddon the higher ceiling of the two rounds.

Aliens Among Us Slot Summary

Aliens Among Us is an open reskin, and none of the coverage pretends otherwise, since it takes the Life and Death engine and swaps the grim monastery for a comic alien invasion. Whether that matters to you comes down to whether you have played the original. Taken on its own, it is a clean multiplier slot, where the additive Alien wilds and their reel expansions can combine into one big spin, and Farmageddon gives the stronger of the two bonuses room to build.

The catch is a thin base game between features, which is common for this style, and a theme that has been done many times before. If the light B-movie tone appeals and you like multiplier-led maths, it delivers that without much else around it.
