NetEnt is showing no signs of slowing down as the iGaming industry giant keeps releasing new titles at an incredible pace. Apparently, tales of Vikings and their mythology are in great demand because the world is ripe to be taken over and conquered by yet another onslaught of these Nordic warriors in Asgardian Stones.
The new title presents a game of stunning beauty and outrageously epic quality (as you will see in the demo video below). It features a 5-reel, 3-row configuration and 20 paylines. Set in a mythical land of Gods, it is surrounded by a mystical lake, surrounded by misty mountains and rocks. Its symbols and reels are one of the most beautifully designed we've seen in quite while. Each symbol is represented by a stone carving of a specific Nordic God, with glowing crystals in distinctive colors. The backdrops change to a spacey, nocturnal ambiance once the extra spins mode is hit. The cascading symbols fall on top of one another, and when the win is created, the symbols get smashed to make way for a new set of symbols replacing them, potentially making more than one win per spin.
What you will notice immediately playing the game is the Colossal Crush feature – it's when enormous symbols appear from above and crush little ones beneath them and release enough energy to yield win multipliers. There will even be an occasional Wheel of Fortune making an appearance on the reels, rewarding you with a random amount of extra spins! How cool is that? The Colossal Crush feature is making its premiere appearance here in Asgardian Stones and will surely be yet another cornerstone by which NetEnt will be recognized as the industry's leading innovator.
NetEnt's Chief Product Officer was reasonably overexcited about this release: “Our team has worked tirelessly during the process of designing and creating Asgardian Stones™ and really look forward to see the game finally out with players all over the world. The Colossal Crush feature is an industry first and only adds to the excitement this game offers, so we can’t wait to see the reaction from the gaming world as we continue our positive start to 2018.”
