Microgaming has created a cracking looking slot game here - the visuals look both retro and futuristic at the same time and have a real steampunk flavour. Joining the lower value playing card suits are a diver’s helmet, bottles, a radio and a sonar device which awards 25 times your stake if you land 5 in combination. Helping to create those winning combinations is the wild which substitutes for all symbols apart from the 2 scatters. Both of those are instrumental in triggering a bonus feature.
Survival Bonus feature - this multi-level pick me round is activated by landing the bonus scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin. You’ll then be taken to a new room and given the pick of 8 objects. Behind each 1 is a cash prize, a win all which awards everything or an advance. If you find the advance, you’ll progress to the next level where even more prizes are on offer. Keep on picking until you find a collect. There are 5 levels in this round.
Free Spins feature - 8, 12 or 20 free spins are awarded if you land 3, 4 or 5 of the free spins scatter anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Prior to the start of the free spins, you’ll get to spin a multiplier wheel - this will give you a 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x multiplier throughout the free spins. Look out too for the stacked wilds which are also in play. Retriggers are possible too which could add another 20 free spins to your total.
This is another enjoyable all-rounder from Microgaming. Top marks for the design and theme which is terrific. The features aren’t quite as fresh as the visuals. The pick me round and free spins with multipliers can deliver some decent action though. The variance here is in the medium to high category with top wins of 4,900 times your stake on every free spin with a 10x multiplier
The theme in Temperance is an unusual one. It comes together rather well though. Well designed and offering a pair of decent bonus features, this underwater steampunk special serves plenty of immersive entertainment. If you like the steampunk theme, Steam Tower by Net Entertainment is a must.
