Fire Archer

Fire Archer Review

The Robin Hood theme is a popular one, and it’s no surprise it appears often in online slots. This game presents a visually appealing take on the theme, with a Robin Hood-like character on the right. This character activates the Super Wilds that appear in the base game.

The Super Wilds can spread in up to 8 directions, turning regular symbols into wilds until they reach the edge of the grid. The Bonus Round includes a Super Wild that moves to random positions each spin, and it can begin with up to 8 active pointers. It can spread wilds in 8 directions, or be upgraded to do so as you win additional spins. The maximum win is up to 4,000x your bet, making this game appealing for fans of the genre.

Game Features

The high-value symbols award between 8 and 20 x your bet for 5 of a kind, with the Robin Hood figure as the highest paying symbol. The target Super Wild substitutes for other symbols to help create wins, appearing on any of the 5 reels. The target Super Wild also triggers a special feature.

The target Super Wild appears with pointers in 8 directions, and the Robin Hood-like character shoots a fire arrow to light up at least one direction per target wild. All symbols in the direction of the lit pointer transform into wilds, and wilds pay 30x your bet for 5 of a kind.

Landing the quiver scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5 activates the Bonus Round, awarding 5 free spins. A Super Wild is always present during the bonus round, moving to a new random position each free spin. Only one Super Wild is present at a time, and it begins with a level between 1 and 8.

The level number determines the number of active directions for transforming symbols into wilds. Landing 2 scatters increases the Super Wild level by +1, and you also get 1 to 3 extra spins. Once the Super Wild reaches level 8, it cannot be upgraded further, and no extra spins can be won.

The Game Experience

The Super Wild appears a few times in the base game before the bonus round is triggered. The feature plays out, showing the results of the bonus round.

Review Summary

While there are many Robin Hood-themed slots, this game stands out. The Super Wild feature is simple but triggers differently each time. Sometimes no wilds spread from it, as the lit pointer points to the edge of the grid. Other times, multiple wilds spread in various directions.

This unpredictability makes the game entertaining. The Super Wilds appear frequently, keeping the base game interesting. A level 6 to 8 wild from the start is ideal, but rare. The 4,000x potential is decent, but the win cap hit rate is low.
