Warrior Ways

Warrior Ways Review

Players apparently crave “dark” subject matters more than lighthearted themes. Warrior Ways goes well with 2 popular installments, but it stands out from the bulk of production.

This ‘dualistic’ approach makes the developer more interesting to follow. Warrior Ways is a highly atmospheric release, and it should please all fans of ninja/samurai movies and video games. You get plenty of duels in the base game, and both bonus rounds are interesting. The 10,000x potential is solid, and there is plenty to enjoy in this action-packed release.

Warrior Ways Slot Features

The 4 different color clan warrior symbols all pay 1x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, while the low-value clan logo symbols pay 0.5x your stake for the same. The Wild symbol pays 50x your stake for 5-oak wins and substitutes for regular pay symbols.

Central to the base game action is the Duels feature, triggered by landing the VS symbol between 2 different clan warrior symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. The 2 dueling warrior symbols are assigned with a random multiplier of x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50 or x100.

The duel plays out in the form of a still image where one of the warriors kills the other, and all instances of the dead warrior’s clan symbols are replaced by the victorious warrior’s clan symbols. The VS symbol is also transformed to the winning warrior, and the victorious warrior’s multiplier will boost any win it’s involved in.

The Clash Bonus Round plays out in 2 stages and is triggered when you land 3 Clash scatters anywhere in view. The Collect phase is a streak respins style game, and your 3 initial spins reset for each non-blank symbol you land. Accumulate VS symbols and Clan Multiplier symbols. The reel-specific clan multiplier symbols land with values between x2 and x100.

The clan multiplier values are accumulated above each clan-specific reel, and an Epic Clan Multiplier may land on the middle reel 3, boosting all accumulated clan multipliers by x2. The feature ends when you run out of respins. The Clash phase then starts, and you get the same amount of free spins as the number of VS symbols you collected. A Duel is guaranteed per free spin, and the different clan warriors take on the respective reel-specific multiplier you accumulated in the Collect phase.

The Conquest Free Spins round triggers when you land 3 Conquest scatters in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. You get +1 extra spin for each new Conquest symbol you land, and the 4 clan banners become visible around the grid.

The corresponding clan banner is cut when a clan warrior loses a duel, and 2 defeats destroy a banner. This removes all instances of that clan’s symbols from the grid for the duration of the feature, as well as granting you +1 extra spin each time.

The Bonus Buy feature comes with 2 options, one for each of the features described above. You can pay 100x your stake for the highly volatile Clash bonus round (RTP of 96.44 %), or pay 400x your stake for the medium volatile Conquest Free Spins round (RTP of 96.51 %).

The 200 Spins Warrior Ways Slot Experience

You get to see a base game duel, before purchasing the Clash Bonus around the 1-minute mark. The Conquest Free Spins round is bought right after, and it starts at 3:30 into the 6-minute highlights video. You can see how it goes by playing the game.

Review Summary

Warrior Ways is one of the most convoluted releases, and the retro-futuristic visual presentation is enjoyable. The soundtrack is a perfect match for this game, building a tense and enjoyable atmosphere.

The Collect phase is similar to others, and the Clash phase can be highly climactic if you’ve accumulated some solid multipliers. The Conquest Free Spins are also quite thrilling, as the symbol removal feature can make a solid dent with 1,024 win ways. Closing in on the 10,000x potential requires solid multipliers with such low symbol values, but overall this is another innovative and enjoyable release.
