Playtech has created a superb looking slot game here. With a snow-capped mountain range in the background, the reels include lower value playing card symbols that are done in the style of rune stones. They are joined by a trio of warrior symbols – a helmet, a pair of axes and a shield – each of which pay 8 times your stake if you land 5 on a payline.

More rewarding still are the hammer and the horn which offer awards of 10 and 20 times your stake respectively if you’re lucky enough to land a 5 in a row combination. The stained-glass window is the wild - it doesn’t offer any payouts in its own right but does replace everything apart from the scatter. There are 3 extras on offer in Call of the Valkyries.

  • Touch of the Valkyries feature - on any losing spin, you could see a flash of lightning strike the reels. This can turn any of the helmet, axes and shield symbols into wilds. A new payout consideration is then made.
  • March of the Valkyries feature - this is triggered by landing a stacked wild on reels 1 and/or 5. You’ll then be awarded a series of respins with the stacked Valkyrie wild moving 1 reel towards the opposite side of the screen on each of them. The trio of warrior symbols turn into frozen wilds if a wild lands on them. If 2 wild Valkyries meet on the same reel, all winning combination in which they feature are doubled. The respins continue until all wilds have dropped off the screen.
  • Call of the Valkyries feature - land the scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin to trigger this pick me round. You’ll be shown a selection of fallen Norse warriors. Pick items to reveal cash prizes. Find a hidden demon and you’ll lose a life. Make it to the gate of Valhalla and your winning from this feature are doubled.

The Norse theme has become increasingly popular over the past few months and with slot games like Call of the Valkyries, it’s easy to see why. The sound and visuals here are superbly done and have a real epic quality. Despite the lack of a Free Games feature, there are more than enough extras on offer to keep the gameplay interesting. The walking wilds in particular can have a big impact.

We enjoyed Call of the Valkyries. The combination of classy design and a good range of extras makes this a very playable take on this popular genre. I also recommend you try Thunderstruck II by Microgaming which is a cult favourite.
