Octopuses are basically underwater aliens with eight arms, three hearts, and more brains than the average person in a pub quiz. These slippery geniuses can squeeze through gaps smaller than a mobile screen, pretend to be in a heist movie, and open jars like they’re preparing a snack for a Netflix night. And don’t even mention their beaks, which are hidden under all those tentacles like an amazing horror show. If they ever figure out how to live on land, we’re all screwed. Imagine an army of smart, cunning, multitasking squids ruling the world while we still struggle to open a jam jar.
Hacksaw seems to be thinking the same thing as they release their new slot Octo Attack, which replaces the crocodile in the sewer crocodile urban legend with a substitute, and the results are terrifying.
Welcome to the depths of the sea
During gameplay, ink blots appear after a win to mark the positions of removed winning symbols, remaining until used in the Tenta-Grab mechanism or removed between base game spins. The Eye of Otto symbol triggers the Tenta-Grab mechanism when there is an ink blot on the grid. Tenta-Grab replaces itself and all ink blot positions with one random symbol, which can be a low, high, FS, wild or a wild multiplier.

When you land 3 or more FS symbols, the 8th arm will trigger an attractive feature, awarding free spins equal to the number of FS symbols. Ink blots will not be removed between spins unless used in the Tenta-Grab mechanism, and an additional free spin will be awarded for every 3 FS symbols.
Landing 3 or more Epic FS symbols activates the Give Me Eight feature, awarding free spins equal to the number of Epic FS symbols. An ink blot will remain between spins, while Tenta-Grab only lands Wild or Wild Multiplier symbols. An additional free spin is awarded for every 3 Epic FS symbols.

Is the Octo Attack slot missing one squid dish?
Hacksaw’s Octo Attack slot offers a betting range from $0.10 to $35 with the potential to win up to $350,000 thanks to a 10,000x multiplier. The game features medium volatility and an RTP of 96.27%.
Hacksaw has a knack for creating something unique from a relatively simple premise. The Octo Attack slot fits that bill quite well. The slot features a fun black and white setting with little splashes of color that really highlight the moments of action. And while I wish there were more, the octopus-related animations are pretty amazing. As with most Hacksaw games, the bonus features don’t disappoint and the theme is well done. I give the Octo Attack slot a 9 out of 10.
If you are looking for other Hacksaw slot games that I would recommend, try 2 Wild 2 Die and Densho.
