Story of Medusa

Spinomenal has been producing these origin stories like they’re creating a new brand of superheroes. Story of Medusa obviously tries to tell the story of Medusa, though just as obviously the theme doesn’t go to deep, with gameplay features playing the bigger role here.

The visuals also play a large role in the game, and we must say they are quite impressive, especially when the massive symbols or other features fire up on the screen. If the company keep pushing out slots of this quality they can easily compete for top spots in the industry. But what about the details? Read below.

Theme

The symbols borrow heavily from Greek mythology, which is obvious given the name of the game. There are a few classic symbols to balance things out. It’s hard to say what they could have improved with the graphics, so high is the quality. Animations come in the form of effects, which are highly detailed as well. The sound effects play out at the right times, though music is unfortunately mostly missing.

Betting Options and Functions

The reel setup is a bit unusual, though nothing we haven’t seen before. The first and fifth reel have three symbols each, and the three middle reels have four symbols each. This allows a sort of a pyramid structure with paylines, of which there are a total of thirty.

The payouts are rather small, with the highest-value symbols only paying 150 times your line bet for a five symbols combo. Good thing then that the wins hit the reels quite often, thanks to the low variance.

Features

The thing with low volatility games is that they often need interesting features that dish out the rare massive win or two...and luckily, Spinomenal has added a few of those here:

• Mega symbols.

Let’s start with these. All medium symbols have a chance of appearing as 2x2 or 3x3 symbols on the reels, thus making it possible to complete big combinations, should youg et lucky on the first reel.

• Stacked wilds.

This is a very simple one. On every spin, you have the chance to land stacked wilds, which means more wilds, on reels one and five.

• Bonus game.

As above, this can result in simple random wins. The feature is not active during bonus spins.

• Bonus spins.

One bonus spins symbol on reel one and another one reel five will trigger ten free games.

• Prize box feature.

Finally, during the bonus spins you can also activate the prize box feature. This will either land you a multiplier, or an extra win. Active on every spin.

Our Take

The story fo Medusa has been told many times before, but doubtful that it has ever shown in this sort of graphical splendour. Besides the audiovisual effects, there are plenty of other reasons to spin the reels here. We urge you to try the game and other similar games from Spinomenal.
