The world of steampunk is a strange one. Mixing Victorian fashions in clothes with fictional achievements in steam technology, it’s a world in which electricity newer rose to prominence because steam just kept on keeping on.

It’s a world of big and loud machinery and women dressed in revealing clothes that are between a barmaid and an engineer.

If this is something that floats your (steam)boat, then developer Slotvision has made a game that’s right up your alley.

Theme

All the trappings of steampunk are on full display here with the background being a high-vaulted laboratory full of strange machinery.

The reels are bordered with steam pipes and oversized gears while a jaunty tune plays adding to the Victorian atmosphere.

As for the symbols, they are all icons of the genre. The top-paying one – a man in top hat and goggles. Slotvision is not rocking the boat when it comes to the rules of this specific genre.

Other than that there are also zeppelins, steamboats, and strange steam-powered pistols.

The star of the show is the titular Steampunk Queen herself appearing as a stacked (in more ways than one, wink wink nudge nudge) wild on the reels in the base game and as a standard wild in the offering’s extra spins bonus mode.

Betting Options and Functions

Outside of its theme, the game is a standard 5x3 affair with 20 fixed paylines. The lowest stake that can be wagered in one spin is 20 cents while the maximum bet is 8 euros.

Aside from this, all the standard features are here with autoplay and all the settings that are expected from it. Choose the number of times to spin and the rules for the mode ending such as max win and max loss.

Special Features

Steampunk has been gaining in popularity lately as a theme for slots as evidenced by Rabcat’s Nikola Tesla and the Incredible Machine so what has this developer cooked up to stand out from the pack?

The answer, special features and lots of them. It all starts with the scatter which is represented by an intricate mechanical watch. Get three or more to be awarded 10 extra spins.

There’s a lot going on during this mode because the wild will stop appearing as stacked but start appearing as sticky. That means it stays in its place on the reels for the duration of the mode.

Additionally, a multiplier counter will also be present that ticks up with every spin for a maximum of x5. This multiplier is applied to the sticky wilds and if a wild on central reel participates in a winning combination, the resulting line win will be multiplied.

It is also possible to retrigger the extra spins if two scatters appear on reels 1 and 2. Should this happen; punters get another 5 spins to play through.

Our Take

The steampunk genre is not as crowded as some other themes (looking at you, Ancient Egypt) but there is competition out there evidenced by titles like Steampunk Heroes. How does Steampunk Queen stack up?

Quite well. It’s a well-executed game featuring all the things you’d want from this genre. With some excellent features and multiplies, this is an experience that nobody should pass up.
