Quickspin have maintained their usual high visuals standard in Firestorm which looks terrific - the reels are set against a ruin-filled, jungle backdrop and feature a selection of brightly coloured gemstones. There is no playing card filler here, all the symbols on show are unique and the game is all the better for it.
The action plays out to a haunting south American style soundtrack for the most part but listen out for mighty blasts of brass that accompany your wins. Top marks then to the design team.
Do the features stand up to scrutiny? Well there aren't that many of them but what is on offer is pretty classy. The chief attraction is the Respin feature - to trigger this, you'll need to land 2 of the masked wilds anywhere on the reels. You'll then be awarded a respin with the masked wild, the standard wild and a randomly chosen symbol all being locked into place whenever they land. The re-spins keep on coming as long as a new wild, bonus wild or chosen symbol hit.
You'll start your re-spins with 2 masked bonus symbols. Land more and you'll add 1 to the multiplier meter on the top right of the reels - this can boost your wins by up to 5x.
Firestorm may not be overstocked in the bonus department but the Respin feature is a good one. Expect plenty of spins when nothing much happens. The respins can really deliver though, especially if you manage to land a high value random symbol alongside the bonus and standard wilds.
There's nothing in the way of standard free spins or other extras like pick me or cash trail features though - Firestorm is none the worse for that though. The single feature is a good one and combined with the quality sound and visuals, creates a somewhat hypnotic overall effect.
If you want a steady stream of action, then jewel-encrusted Aztec adventure is a little gem. Alternatively, you can try Montezuma by WMS and Aztec Power by Novomatic which have similar themes.
