The Defenders review

Charge your cape and shoot back to the 80s with The Defenders, where fire and ice are ready to compete for your attention.

This game is free to play in demo mode here at Online Pokies 4U. We recommend this to practise before you play for real at an online casino.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Let’s start with the graphics. Perhaps appropriately for a game about superheroes, these characters look like they have been put through a filter called ‘80s cartoon’. Even the background and additional artwork within the game is distinctly comic book-esque in faded pastels and bright primary colors.

We are having to assume here that blue represents good and orange represents evil. The orange ‘enemy’ appears to be carrying fire, while the blue characters’ superpowers appear to be ice-related.

The soundtrack would similarly be at home on any 80s title, such as Superman 3. This gets a bit repetitive and you might want to find yourself something a bit more interesting to accompany you as you play. Anything along the general theme of imploring everyone to ‘save the world’ will do just fine.

Our verdict

Many superhero themed slots look back to the 80s golden era of superhero storytelling, with this one no exception.

It is not so much a game of good v evil as who can throw the most bonus features at you and come out on top. Of course, most of it is designed to take place within the confines of a free spins round and whether you can keep up with the dizzying array of bonuses hurtling your way may depend largely on how often you manage to activate a free spin.

There has been no laziness around equipping the game with plenty of additional features to keep players interested. This will hopefully prove beneficial and not just amount to smoke and mirrors.
