Evoplay Launches Flagship 'Shooter' Slot, Star Guardians

Evoplay announces the launch of Star Guardians
The first of its kind game allows players to take manual control of their characters

Evoplay has rewritten the iGaming rulebook with its latest offering, a video slot with a third-person shooter mechanic called Star Guardians. The first of its kind, the game allows players to take manual control of their characters and shoot their way to slot wins!

The big-budget blaster follows the Star Guardians, a Special Forces team at war with a race of mutated insects called Tritons who have invaded their spaceship. The objective is to annihilate the aliens until you reach their Queen, picking up wins along the way.

Players can choose from three heroes, Butcher, Keliot, and Skyler, each with their own skills and characteristics, just like in popular PC shooter games such as Warhammer and Resident Evil. If you change your mind, you can swap to a new hero, even as you keep playing.

Manual mode allows you to play as your chosen hero, moving forwards, backwards, left and right and shooting the Tritons to progress towards the final battle with the Queen. You can also play in automatic mode if you prefer.

Just like with typical slot symbols, each alien you dispatch is worth a different number of coins. There are also bonuses to be had in each round. Bonus games are activated at random and you will be able to acquire money or ammunition dropped by the Tritons to help you in the final battle.

You choose where to go, and an up-tempo insistent beat tracks your journey through the ship. If you manage to defeat the Queen, you can look forward to some significant payouts.

Combining the quick wins of a slot with the slick graphics and manual action of a third-person shooter game is a masterstroke, and Star Guardians is surely set to be a stratospheric hit.

Evoplay is a multi-award-winning iGaming development studio, with previous video slots titles including Tree of Light, Runes of Destiny, Temple of Dead, and Valley of Dreams.

Never one to rest on its laurels, the studio has now potentially changed the future of iGaming forever

Speaking of the company’s recent rebrand, Evoplay CCO Vladimir Malakchi, said: We’re bringing our business to a completely new level, shaking up iGaming and making a strong statement to the industry. One of the objectives of our rebrand is to start showing that.

CEO Ivan Kravchuk, added: “...we create the type of games that will bring in a whole new audience to iGaming. We’re interacting with mainstream gamers – and showing that huge group of players that iGaming can be a natural continuation of the gaming they love – just in a different form of entertainment. Gambling.”

With Star Guardians the pair have surely achieved this objective and potentially ushered in a whole new phase of iGaming.
