Hyper Burst (Yggdrasil)

Hyper Burst Review

Hyper Burst is a slot, deeply inspired by volcanos, not only in terms of the visual styling but the overall gameplay too. Alike real volcanos, the one in Hyper Burst sleeps most of the time, though, it generously rewards all your efforts when it blows off. The developers have gone a little further when it comes to the gameplay by adding pretty unusual features to their creation, so the game is really promising and has all the chances of becoming a hit.

Hyper Burst - Technical Info

The volcanic action is played across a 6x4 layout with 25 ways to play. Hyper Burst is powered by a high volatile math model, though, thanks to a moderate hit frequency of 22.3%, wins will occur fairly regularly since theoretically, every 5th spin will be a winning one. Thus, you won't have a lot of those smaller wins to keep you afloat, so adjust your bets wiser to survive in the long run. The game has a solid RTP value of 96.02%, which is slightly above the average level within the industry.

To awaken the dreamy volcano at least 0.1$ per spin is required, while the highest stake option reaches 100$ per spin, providing a rather wide betting range that would certainly appeal to both high-rollers and casual less risky players. Speaking of high-rollers, all of them can hope for a large win of 1,280,000$ on a single spin when playing with the max bet option, of course. The maximum potential is really decent as you can win up to 12,800 times the bet.

Hyper Burst - Design and Symbols

Loading the game will take you into the midst of a tropical island with vast dense greenery and misty hills making up the backdrop. Since the volcano takes a central place in the game, it sits just behind the reels. The colossal mount with a scorching lava crater on top poking out from behind the reels hints at what to expect from the game, though, we'll come back to it in short. We have to pay tribute to the design team actually since the graphics are exceptional and the scenery behind the backdrop is stunning so that you can't avert your eyes from it. However, when the eruption comes into play, the background covers in dark tones and the smoke fills all the area. The soundtrack is another of highlights as it fits the gameplay perfectly and captures the essential vibe. A piece of tribal drum music plays whilst you spin the reels, picking up the tempo when you hit big wins, becoming more intense, and adding a touch of suspense to the atmosphere.

The paytable has a resemblance to the tiki theme actually. The symbol collection is a set of 8 regular symbols, split into highs and lows. The pay symbols start at the low end with a bunch of A-J royals, and they correspond to the theme pretty well thanks to a touch of styling applied to give them a dash of personality. The premiums are better, though, including 4 masks that come in different colors, namely blue, green, purple, and red. There's also a Wild symbol involved in Hyper Burst, which acts as a substitute to any other regular symbols and is the most valuable among them all on top of everything.

From 3 to 6 symbols on a single line are required to score a win. On the lower side, the payouts vary from 1x to 2x for 6-of-a-kind combos, while the premiums are worth 4x-8x times the stake. Should 6 instances of Wild symbol appear, a 100x payout will be awarded.

Hyper Burst - Bonus Features

As alluded to earlier, the developers have taken a different approach to the gameplay, taking a break from the usual features that are commonly used in most of the lost. In Hyper Burst, everything is about consecutive wins.

Whenever a win occurs, the Respins mode comes into play, awarding pleasing extras with every consecutive win. After you score a win, the volcano splits off the lava onto 2 of the 4 middle reels to merge them into one colossal 2x2 sized reel. In case this leads to another win, the volcano erupts again to make a 3x3 lava reel, and eventually, 4x4 on the last respin.

When the 4 middle reels merge, the Hyper Mode is triggered. Consecutive wins will continue to trigger Respins plus a multiplier trail will appear on the left side of the reels. As soon as you get to the Hyper Mode, a 2x multiplier will be applied to the next win, and it will increase with each successive win.

• 1st Hyper Mode Respin - 2x Multiplier.
• 2nd Hyper Mode Respin - 3x Multiplier.
• 3rd Hyper Mode Respin - 5x Multiplier.
• 4th Hyper Mode Respin - 10x Multiplier.

The feature continues to work until no new winning combinations could be made, and no-win spins take you back to the base game, resetting the accumulated multiplier.

Hyper Burst - Verdict

All said and done, Hyper Burst is a fun attraction with exceptional visuals and interesting features. However, you won't find anything here to get super fired in case you're more into various features and simple Respins would not be enough to keep you entertained throughout the session. Landing a bunch of consecutive wins might be quite a challenging task and basically, the Respins will end up with just like 2-3 spins. Nevertheless, if you're blessed with luck and eventually made it to the 10x multiplier, a jackpot of 12,800x of the bet is theoretically possible to be hit.

Playing Hyper Burst requires manifesting a great level of patience and it is more likely to drive you crazy awaiting big wins to occur. There's nothing except the Respins to keep you in the right mood, so being unlucky will obviously result in extremely boring session with nothing to do in it. Those who seek for more intense volcano action may try another game, otherwise, if you're OK with the straightforward gameplay, Hyper Burst may be worth a spin or two.
