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.
Those who are familiar with RPG games will rapidly figure out how the action is done here. Anyway, let’s sort everything out in order. The purpose of the game is to shoot and kill the enemies to get their loot and win prizes. Each bullet fired consumes a fixed price, as well as the enemies, have a fixed number of health points (HP). The size of payouts is determined by the damage you deal, so the more damage you do, the higher your prize will be. The rewards are given after the enemy is slain and may include either cash prizes, special weapons, or treasures. Side quests are also available in Max Quest — Dead Man’s Cove. Collect keys to open treasure chests and claim up to 50x cash prizes and special weaponry.
Loading the game will take you to the lobby, where there are different game rooms to choose, each one displaying a shot price of 0.03$ to 1$ per bullet. Up to 6 players can simultaneously play in the same room, competing for prizes. In case multiple players join the room, the rewards for killing an enemy will be spread among all players who dealt damage to this enemy, though, special prizes will always be awarded to the player who dealt the lethal blow.
It doesn’t require any skill to play Max Quest — Dead Man’s Cove. The mouse cursor is the aim of the player’s weapon, and pressing the fire button will launch the shot into the chosen spot. In case you missed and there was no target at the fire location, the bullet will bounce around until it eventually hits the enemy. Moreover, you’ll get your returns pretty often for the RTP is set to 97.5%, though, the volatility is claimed to be high.
The session will kick off with a standard pistol, though, players will be able to obtain special weapons via either purchasing them or looting the dead enemies. There’s a chance that an enemy may drop a loot chest containing a random weapon plus either 1x, 2x, or 3x the shot amount cash reward. All weapons consume the previously chosen cost-per-bullet, though, they deal more damage than the standard pistol and are much more effective against groups of enemies.
The enemies in Max Quest are split into 3 categories, standard, special, and legendary bosses. All of them can appear randomly during the session and follow a random movement path across the game screen until they’re killed or exit the battlefield. All enemies have 3 levels, which determines the number of their health points.
Standard enemies include various kinds of rats, crabs, and gulls. On level 1 they have 20, 30, and 80 HP respectively, while level 3 standard enemies will come with 30, 50, and 120 HP respectively.
Betsoft did a remarkable job of developing their brainchild. It’s absolutely charming thanks to the unique gaming experience it provides. Shooting different creatures is much more fun than spinning regular slots, isn’t it? Max Quest is more interactive and most importantly, more in control of the player. Unlike standard slots, your rewards here will depend on you only, so it’s certainly worth a try.
