Midnight Marauder – ClusterBreaker Review
Midnight Marauder – ClusterBreaker from Relax Gaming is a sequel to Midnight Marauder from 2022, and while the burglar theme has been maintained, the core gameplay is changed.
Now, instead of simple cluster wins (with Collect & Multiply feature) on a 6 x 6 grid, things take place on a 4 x 4 board, but the Cluster Breaker feature can randomly land, cracking symbols into larger amounts and creating the possibility for more clusters.
And each cluster win affects the two meters on either side of the grid. The Multiplier Wheel (featuring doubling multiplier values) ratchets up one notch, and the Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins meter registers every winning symbol – once you reach 20, 40, or 60 points, you’ll unlock Brute Force smashes (cracking more symbols on the grid) or the Free Spins round itself.
You’ll also find the potential for the Coin Caper Bonus, which is a hold & win-style game with a merging feature – something that seems to be getting quite popular these days.
Midnight Marauder – ClusterBreaker is a tumbling, high volatility slot with a fun, elegant system that doesn’t take long to understand. Plus, the two flavors of bonus round give something for players to aim for from the base game.
Gameplay
How To Play
- Choose your bet size and start spinning.
- In the base game, land 5 or more of the same symbol in a cluster to score a win. Winning symbols tumble away to be replaced. The spin is over when no more winning clusters remain.
- The Cluster Breaker feature hits randomly to divide symbols up into more symbols.
- Each winning tumble ratchets the global multiplier meter on the left up by one place.
- Each winning symbol is added to the Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins meter to the right of the grid. When you reach the following milestones, you’ll trigger special features:
- 20: Between 5 and 8 symbols receive the Cluster Breaker treatment
- 40: All remaining intact symbols receive the Cluster Breaker
- 60: The Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins begin
- The Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins function like the base game, except that the Multiplier Wheel begins on 8x. The Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins meter is still in effect.
- Land 5 or more Coins in a cluster to trigger the Coin Caper Bonus, a hold & win-style round. Clusters of Coins merge together to create more spaces on the grid, and these merges bump up the multiplier, just like in the rest of the game.
- You can buy various bonuses, including Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins with various levels of starting multiplier.
Bonus Symbols
- Coins: Land 5 or more of these in the base game to begin the Coin Caper Bonus. These Coins are then used in the subsequent hold & win-style game.
- Bonus symbol: Land 2, 3, or 4 Bonus symbols in Bonus Reels mode to trigger the Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins.
Bonus Features
- Enhanced Spins: Turning on this ante bet switch will double the play amount and increase your chances of entering the Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins.
- Supercharge menu: Choose from options to pay for and enter the Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins with various levels of starting multiplier, or the Coin Caper Bonus. You can also purchase Bonus Reels mode where only Bonus symbols land to try and trigger Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins this way.
- Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins: Similar to the base game, but the Multiplier Wheel starts on a higher level (8x by default).
- Coin Caper Bonus: Hold & win-style round where Coins merge together to open up spaces on the grid for more Coins to land.
- Hit frequency: 1 in 4.86 spins.
- Free spins frequency: 1 in 450 spins.
- Max win: 10,000x.
SweepsPlays Verdict
- 10,000x max win is pretty low and the RTP is average, but it’s easy to get lost in this game as the rhythm is simple but exciting.
- The Smash ‘N’ Grab Free Spins meter to the right of the grid has shades of Gems Bonanza‘s meter – i.e., base game wins fill it up and trigger the bonus feature, rather than the player simply looking for 3 Bonus symbols.
- The burglar theme suits the game well. He stands to the left of the grid, trying to open the safe you’re playing on and sometimes administering the Brute Force feature with a giant hammer to crack symbols for you.
