Crusade

Review

This game has recently adopted a gaming engine developed by another company, and that’s proven to be a massive success in terms of how polished the releases are. True, some veterans might not like the fact that they all come with the same basic interface, but that’s a small detail that we are more than willing to overlook if the release has enough quality otherwise. This game certainly does in many respects, so let’s take a closer look at what this 5x3 slot with 20 paylines brings to the table!

The visuals of this game build on a fantasy theme with demons and knights fighting them. That’s not particularly unusual, but it certainly comes with a lot of polish, and we like how detailed the visuals are. It’s clear that a lot of hard work went into making this slot look as good, and we have to appreciate that big time!

There’s no official info about the slot’s volatility, but we estimate it to be medium or medium-high. The jackpot clocks in at 5,000x your bet, which is a great sum to aim at, no matter your preferred stakes. On that note, it’s worth saying that you can play for bets between £0.20 and £100. Unfortunately, the game’s theoretical RTP is on the lower side of the spectrum at just 94.65%, which is well below average.

Slot Features

The symbols of this game are all thematic, with no card ranks or card suits thrown into the mix. That makes for a nice viewing, as the low pays feature three different coins, while things then get even better as you move up the paytable. There, you can find belts, shoes, gauntlets, armor, helmets, and the top-paying shields.

In terms of special symbols, there are Sword Wilds and Orb Scatters. Both are associated with the slot’s gameplay features, but Sword Wilds also come with their own payout values and complete winning combinations by substituting for other pay symbols.

If you get 3 Swords Wilds on the same reel, they’ll merge together and trigger the Crusader Sword feature. The merged Wild will then nudge down for a free respin of the rest of the reels, and you can get more Sword Wilds to make it go on and on. The respins continue until all merged Wilds disappear from the playing field.

Get 3, 4, or 5 Orb Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature with 7, 15, or 30 free spins, respectively. Before free spins begin, you’ll get to fight a demon of your choice, and achieve a win multiplier of 3x, 5x, or 7x this way. It’s interactive, too, as you have to hit the demon quickly to win!

Review Summary

Although this game doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary, we have to praise it for its excellent production values and fun free spins with demons and win multipliers. The 5,000x top win is also sweet, though it’s somewhat hard to stomach the disappointing RTP.
