Net Entertainment games are usually easy on the eye and that's certainly the case in Warlords: Crystals of Power which features superb 3D imagery. The action centres on the 3 warlords: The Barbarian; The Priestess and The Samurai. All of these symbols can land fully stacked to impressive visual effect. Set against a Games of Thrones style battlefield backdrop, the reels include assorted face masks and animals as well as the 3 warlords.
In addition to the standard wild (the gemstones emblem) are 3 overlay wilds which can be randomly activated on any spin – the Random Overlay Wild feature. The Barbarian hammer adds 4 wilds to the reels in a square shape on reels 1 to 4. Both the Priestess arrow and the Samurai sword add 2 to 5 random wilds to the reels.
Look out too for the 3 different scatter symbols, each 1 themed on each of the Warlords. Land 2 or more scatters in the base game you'll trigger the Re-Spins feature. If the 2 (or 3) scatters are the same, the re-spins start immediately, if different, 1 of them will transform so you have 2 the same.
Similarly, with 3 different scatters, there will be transformation. During the re-spins, the active scatters stay in position. Land 3 of the same scatter and you'll trigger the free spins. If you don't trigger the bonus feature, here you'll have one more opportunity to do so via the Final Chance feature.
If you trigger a re-spin with 2 scatters but miss out on landing the free spins, you'll win a cash bonus of between 3 and 100 times your bet or an extra scatter which automatically triggers the free spins.
Warlords: Crystals of Power comes with 3 different free spin features, each relating to the trio of scatters. The blue Barbarian scatter triggers the Barbarian Free Spins feature and awards at least 9 free spins. Only warlord an animal symbols appear on the reels during this feature. Any additional scatters that land will add 3 more free spins to your total.
The green Priestess scatter triggers the Priestess Free Spins features where you will get you a minimum of 7 free spins. Every scatter that lands here will increase a multiplier by 1. The red Samurai scatter activates the Samurai Free Spins feature and awards 5 free spins. Every scatter that lands during the feature will become a sticky wild and will remain frozen in position for the remainder of the feature.
At first glance, Warlords: Crystals of Powers looks pretty complex - in fact, the scatter re-spins just offer another shot at triggering the free spins which is the likeliest route to bagging a big win. Both the Barbarian and Samurai Free Spins features can give you up to 600 times your stake overall – however, the Priestess Free Spins feature is the most lucrative by a long way with over 6,666 times your bet to be won in the feature!
As usual with NetEnt powered slot games, the design here is top notch - the visuals are terrific, accompanied by some quality animations and s suitably stirring soundtrack. The features stack up well too with the overlay wilds offering a helping hand in the main game.
The free spins features, complete with modifier extras, offers the best winning opportunities though. With its high end design and decent range of extras, these Warlords can help you pillage plenty of coin if luck is with you. If you like slot games with a similar theme, Microgaming’s Avalon II and Thunderkick’s 1429 Uncharted Seas are recommended.
