Nordic Heroes slot machine
If you’re bored with mediocre online slots and want something that takes the genre to the next level, then Nordic Heroes is not to be missed. This unique game uses a Level Up Plus system where the user earns experience points to unlock new characters, worlds and rewards.
By gaining a combat bonus and battling multiple enemies, you can collect rewards for free spins. You then need to work your way from the Forest of Fortune to the Sea of Glory with its unique monsters, free spins and symbols. Plus, you need to keep an eye on the Mystery Multiplier reel to increase your payouts by up to 30x.
Characteristics
This adventure-themed video slot has 5 reels and 30 fixed paylines. The user plays as Thora, an experienced elf archer. The game has a Battle Bonus, where free spins are waiting until the character’s health expires, or until he defeats all 3 enemies.
The player earns XP by defeating monsters in the bonus, which allows them to level up. At the same time you need to collect more weapons as you progress. The game also has a character selection facility, where the player can change to Ragnar once they reach level 3.
Choosing a character brings new weapons and a new set of reels in the main game and bonus game. The world can also be changed once level 5 is reached, and Sea of Glory boasts its own unique reels and features.
Symbols and Payouts
The wild symbol is the most valuable symbol, followed by Thor, her arrow and the eagle. The lower value symbols include various images of the forest, including berries, mushrooms and a tree. When the user plays as Ragnar, the payouts are pretty much the same, but Thora is replaced by Ragnar, the arrows become his hammer and the eagle is replaced by a wolf.
When the transition to another realm is made, the player also finds several new symbols reflecting the Sea of Glory setting. The battle symbol of crossed swords represents the scatter and when it lands on reels 1, 3 and 5, it triggers the battle bonus. At the same time, increasing multiplier symbols are added to the reels as well as additional scatters.
The bet per line ranges from 1 pence to £20. So, with a fixed 30 paylines, the game costs between £30 and £600 per spin. This makes it ideal for mid-level players and high rollers.
For those who prefer to play with low stakes, 30p per spin should also suit the budget and style of play. The most valuable symbol is the wild symbol, which pays out 1500x for 5 on a payline. This win can be increased even further if the Mystery Multiplier reel is triggered.
Special Features
This slot boasts a wealth of special features that make it stand out from the rest. The combat bonus is the main highlight as it gives the free spins feature a whole new dimension. When the 3 bonus symbols are triggered, you can see that the reels change, with the character appearing on the left of the reels and the enemy on the right.
After each free spin, the battle reels rotate for the character and the monster they’re fighting. The symbols on the battle reels can deal damage, stun or protect from damage. The free spins will continue as long as the character has health.
