First there's the Tornado feature which is triggered when the Hot Cloud symbol appeals on reel 1 at the same time that the Cold Cloud symbol appears on reel 5. The symbol that appears on the second row of the middle reel will then become the active symbol. During the bonus feature, animated tornadoes will then sweep in to whisk away that active symbol as well as any wild symbol that appears anywhere on the reels. Coin prizes are awarded for each symbol.
For example if the Pig was on the second row of the middle reel when the Tornado was triggered, all the Pigs will be blown away throughout the Tornado feature. The feature continues until there's a spin that doesn’t contain any active or wild symbols. Get on a roll here and the results can be very lucrative.
The Storm feature is triggered randomly and starts when a dirty black cloud appears on the outermost reel. The cloud works its way across the reels, moving one symbol at a time in any direction. Each symbol its lands on will turn into a wild. If you manage to get a good number of wilds it's possible to bag a good score here.
In the base game, payouts range from 15 coins up to 700. They can get substantially bigger in the feature games though. The big thing missing from Tornado Farm Escape is a free spins feature but the two features are a decent substitute. The variance is pretty low meaning you can expect plenty of smaller wins.
Big payouts are possible but are fairly infrequent – there’s a maximum 825 times your stake available but you’ll be lucky to get above 50 times your stake! The look and sound of Tornado Farm Escape is just what you'd expect from a slot created by NetEnt. The cartoon-style graphics are excellent and the country and western style backing track has all the makings of becoming a really annoying earworm!
Tornado Farm Escape is a solid performer so if you fancy getting down and dirty you'll find plenty to enjoy on this farm. I must add that the game is also available to play on mobile and tablet devices. Saying that, it’s an entertaining game but I prefer more bang for my buck so would rather play Lucky Angler or Gonzo’s Quest which are medium variance options (also by NetEnt).
