Final Thoughts
On the whole, Illogicool was another fun ELK game to play, full of humorous elements, thrills, and a stack of features to digest. There's a nice flow to the proceedings and nothing nefarious to report. However, it didn't make quite as positive an impression as they usually do, and there's only the outer wrapper to blame really, since aside from the niggly RTP, Illogicool's features function without a hitch.
So then, the main issue is the cartoon/real-world blend feels a little off, as the own-brand homemade heroes stick out like a sore thumb. You can get away with this sort of thing in a game likeJurassic Park, for example, where a cast of recognisable faces bump up against cartoon dinos, but something about Illogicool didn't sit totally right. This is just an observation, and who knows, other players might be all over theWho Framed Roger Rabbitthing, or not even notice it.
It's easier to look past this side of Illogicool when the Troubles, cascades, drops and all the rest of it are going your way. Like all of ELK's games that offer an X-iter feature menu, the more you are willing to spend, the more likely you are of squeezing max enjoyment out of Illogicool in a shorter space of time. It would be nice to get comparisons of stats when doing so, the wayNolimit Cityhas been upfront with in recent games. For instance, the odds of triggering free spins with a starting x10 multiplier naturally compared to buying them for 500x the bet would be interesting. Just thinking out loud here. No matter how you attack the game, max wintops out at 10,000x.
Illogicool's slightly off-kilter visuals meant the game didn't feel quite as coherent a package as they usually are from ELK. However, Illogicool threw up a number of thrills during the test runs. Troubles are fun, and the offbeat originality was positive on the whole, making Illogicool a neat evolution of the 'cool' range'.
