All of the slot games in the Age of the Gods series impress visually and Age of the Gods God of Storms is up there with the best of them. An ancient hilltop cityscape forms the backdrop to the reels - you’ll see Greek temples and a giant fortress overlooking the action.
The reels appear as if they’re made from marble. Joining the lower value playing cards are a collection of ancient-themed symbols - you’ll see ornately crafted pottery, archers, women warriors and a Spartan-style soldier in full military regalia as well as fearsome looking sea monster. It all looks very impressive.
The main feature here is the Wild Wind Respins feature – look out for the mighty ship, which is the wild, which can land fully stacked. When it does hit, the skies turn dark and you’ll be awarded a free respin. Watch out for the ancient Greek god Poseidon who will appear to the right of the reels - he blows the wild stack 1 reel closer to the left reels. With each blow, he’ll increase a multiplier which starts at 1x before increasing to 2x, 3x and 5x.
Age of the Gods God of Storms also comes with a shot at winning a progressive jackpot. There are 4 of them in all - Power, Super Power, Extra Power and Ultimate Power where the really big rewards can be won. You enter the Jackpot Game randomly and you’re guaranteed to win 1 of them when you do so.
With Playtech dropping their Marvel-themed slot games, it appears that the Age of the Gods series will be picking up the slack. They’ve obviously put plenty of effort into the design of Age of the Gods God of Storms which looks superb.
The range of features isn’t very wide but the shifting stacked wild respins are an innovative addition - especially when combined with the expanding multiplier. Get on a roll with these or land multiple stacked wilds on the same spin and the Greek gods can deliver some mighty rewards if they’re in a benevolent mood. I still think Age of the Gods is the best of the series with 4 superb free spins features which you can access, multiple times if you’re lucky, on every sitting.
