Like the other slot games in the Tales of Darkness series, a creepy looking cemetery is the setting for Tales of Darkness: Lunar Eclipse. On the reels you’ll see A to J playing cards as well as rings, crowns and a pair of female vampires. The best of them is the gold-backed vampire which awards 4, 15, 75 or 150 times your total stake if you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 on the same payline.
The full moon serves a dual purpose as it’s both the wild and the scatter. Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 of them and you’ll receive a payout of 2, 10, 50 or 200 times your stake as well as triggering the Free Games feature - you’ll then receive 10 free spins.
At the start of the free spins, 1 symbol is picked at random. This symbol spins in fully stacked formation and can land on reels 2 and 5 only. If you land the special symbol on reels 2 and 5 on the same free spin, the symbols in between on reels 3 and 4 transform into the same matching symbol too.
Winning combinations can be created from right to left as well as from left to right during the feature. The only exception being 6 of a kind combinations. This is known as the Lunar Eclipse Bonus feature.
The slot game is a bit fierier than the accompanying Tales of Darkness: Full Moon. Tales of Darkness: Lunar Eclipse is a highly volatile game and you can expect some big bankroll swings. Saying that, you can win 1,500 times your stake on every free spin with the win both ways technology.
The design here is pretty basic. The gameplay is equally straightforward. That’s no bad thing though, especially as the bonus round has the potential to be a good one. Land a high value special symbol and then hit full stacks of both and the big clusters can deliver some potentially explosive results.
We’re big fans of Novomatic’s simple slot games. If you are too then Tales of Darkness: Lunar Eclipse should hold plenty of appeal. If vampires are your thing, Wolf Hunters from Yggdrasil Gaming is highly recommended.
