Though Vikings are by no means a new or fresh theme, it is pretty clear that this Agames slot manages to combine all the influences into something that feels like a fresh package.
The style is something that is not often seen, the features and interface are superb, and the game itself interesting enough to call for at least a few spins in demo mode right away. But does the game deliver the goods once the novelty wears off?
Theme
Totems and rune stones fill the ancient cavern, which apparently is the home to the frozen gods of the north. Slightly ominous music creates a tense atmosphere, though the remaining sound effects don’t follow this theme to the letter.
The graphical style in this ThunderSpin release is excellent and there is plenty of variation when it comes to different symbols. There’s no big story here to follow, yet the theme feels quite complete.
Betting Options and Functions
The interface is rather easy to use, though different options and pay-tables could have been placed in a bit more accessible place; especially for mobile users. There’s a total of 25 pay-lines running through the standard setup of five reels with three symbols positions each. Betting options run between 0.01 to 10 coins per pay-line.
Overall the prize levels are quite low. The top prize stands at 200 times your line bet, and for the least valuable three-symbol combination you get a return of ten times your line bet. Overall the volatility seems to be high, though on the other hand, this is, for once, pretty useful with the special features.
Features
Every and each spin that does not win anything will increase the special meters. These are the four symbols at the left-hand side of the screen, each representing gods. These are very important as all of them give multipliers once you do win. Every time you win the meters are reset. Possible multiplier goes all the way into ten times the original, which means that you can win up to 2000 times the line bet from a single combination.
Loki can take the position of any of the gods, as soon as there are enough prayer points in play. Once Loki has been satisfied with enough losing spins, he will add one wild on the reels. This wild change places at random for each spin.
Besides this, your usual bonus games are at play. Three to five scatters are needed to claim between 5 and 15 bonus games. The kicker is, again, that the bonus games launch once you win. Not to mention that the different multipliers and bonuses don’t disappear during bonus game spins.
Our Take
ThunderSpin is, as of yet, relatively unknown company. With this slot…
…they are certainly about to become a lot more famous. The game manages to add a new take on special features and losing spins, and does it with a style that is perfect from design and graphical end. This game is a must try, and if you must do so in demo mode first!
