HammerFall is one of Play’n Go’s branded video slots, themed after the popular Swedish power metal band. As you listen to their top hits, you will visit three different fantasy worlds, and at each of them, a knight will be your host. There are no free spins on offer, but that does not mean that the game lacks action. There are 10 extras players will enjoy, including cascading wins, super tiles, three Song features, the Hammer High feature, and the four random Destruction features. This high variance game offers a max win of 30,000x bet.
We have mentioned that there are three worlds you get to visit, but in each of them the rules of the game are completely the same. HammerFall features seven reels, seven rows, and benefits from cluster pays. Make a cluster of vertically or horizontally connected matching symbols, and you will start winning payouts. Thanks to cascading wins, winning clusters will be removed, and new icons will appear on the reels. Betting starts at $0.20. The top wager is $100 per spin.
The game looks and sounds perfect. You will have the impression that you are playing a video game in a fantasy world. As you spin the reels, you will listen to the sounds of HammerFall’s biggest hits. It sounds amazing if you are a fan of power metal. The reels are set on three different backgrounds, depending on the current world you are in, but they all look excellent. Symbols on the reels include a Mask, Yellow Shield, Hammers, Green Shield, and five different Crystals. Two types of Wilds appear, but both of them have the same function, substituting for all other symbols.
Players will notice highlighted positions on the reels during each spin. They move around the cells. Get a winning combo on a Super Tile, and you will get a Lightning Wild on that position. It remains in the position as new symbols replace the winning cluster. Wilds can come with a 2x multiplier. There are three Song features you can trigger once you fill the Hammer Meter. For this to happen, you need 25 winning symbols in a row. The Twilight Princess Song feature brings a 2×2 Mega Wild to the grid. The Second to None Song feature, all high-paying icons transform into one high-value icon. Less than 5 high-paying symbols transformed will make even low-value symbols to transform. The And Yet I Smile Song feature removes all low-paying icons. Finish a Song feature, and go to the next world.
The Hammer High feature is triggered when you overcharge the Hammer Meter with 50 symbols. Players get 1 spin with all 3 song features in succession. Non-winning spin can trigger the Destruction feature. The Never Forget feature pulls together instances of 1 chosen icon, destroying all other symbols in their path. The Bring It feature destroys all high-paying symbols, or turns them into instances of the same symbol. Also, enjoy the In One Against the World feature, and the Chain of Command feature.
HammerFall is not a game that will be enjoyed by every player out there. First, the theme of the game looks for a pretty specific audience. Next, the features incorporated are not that common. There are no free spins on offer, but there are loads of song and destruction features that can help you land big wins. Explore fantasy worlds, listen to HammerFall hits, and charge that Hammer to win up to 30,000x bet.
