King of Sun

King of Sun Review

Aztec culture has always been popular in the world of online games, and we've already seen numerous amazing titles within the niche. This, however, doesn't stop developers from creating new titles inspired by the mysterious Aztecs, and King of Sun is one of the many games that celebrate the once-great civilization. Here, players are once again taken on an adventure to South America in a search of the lost treasures of Emperor Montezuma.

Although the Aztec theme isn't something you rarely see, you can't say the creation looks bad. Instead, King of Sun looks good with high-end 3D visuals and sharp smooth animations. The sound aspect is also on spot, as an upbeat tribal soundtrack adds a final touch to the atmosphere. Loading the game takes you to quite familiar scenery, as the 5x3 reels with 10 winlines are set in a backdrop of jungles and mountains.

Players drop in by setting bets from €0.1 to €100 per spin, which should appeal to many. The volatility is low, and the max win corresponds to the level of risk involved, clocking in at 500x the bet. However, don't expect to win often in the King of Sun game, since the hit frequency of 11.85% is rather poor, meaning that theoretically, only 1 spin out of 10 will be a winning one.

As we head over to the paytable, we see a set of 10 recognizable pay symbols. Those include classic A - J card royals which are the lower symbols and six shiny gems of different shapes and colors which are the premiums. Three or more adjacent symbols starting from the leftmost reel create a winning combination, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 10x to 50x the bet.

King of Sun Game Features

King of Sun himself appears in the game in form of Wild symbols, which are available on the three middle reels during both the base and the bonus games. Whenever a winning combination with a Wild symbol is possible, it expands to cover the reel entirely to produce bigger winning opportunities.

Central to the gameplay is the Free Spins feature, triggered when 3 or more Scatters appear simultaneously on the reels. Players receive 12 free spins to start with. During the free games, when Wild symbols appear on the reels, they upgrade the lowest gem symbol to the next one according to the paytable. Landing 1, 2, or 3 Wild symbols on a single spin awards 1, 3, or 5 extra free games. You can also win more spins, as 3 or more Scatters awards 12 additional free games.

Review Summary

In the end, there aren't many reasons why players should choose King of Sun over other Aztec games, especially those blockbusters packed with numerous bonus features and modifiers. The game doesn't have a lot to offer. It revolves around simple expanding Wilds, plus the math model isn't too promising. Anyway, there's still entertainment to be found by those really into the Aztec thing.
