Play’n Go’s output has bit hit and miss as of late, and the software developer seems to know it, which is why it was interesting when they started to refer to their newest upcoming release, Viking Runecraft, as their next big hit.It got all our attention, because Play’n Go don’t normally make claims that they cannot follow through on, and with only six days until the release date of their newest slot, it certainly looks capable of backing up their boast!
About the slot
Viking Runecraft is the second game from Play’n Go that covers the popular theme of Norse Gods, with the first being Dragon Ship, one of their oldest titles.Revisiting this theme is sensible as Norse Gods are popular in film and TV right now, and another sensible choice is incorporating a 7×7 grid, something Play’n Go have done before in their most successful slot, Gemix. Combining a currently popular theme, with a gameplay tool that has proven immensely successful for them before, is a sure-fire way to produce the next big hit from Play’n Go.
Gameplay
In Gemix, you travel to three different worlds during gameplay, Viking Runecraft takes this one further, taking you to four different worlds throughout the game, represented by Thor, Odin, Freya, and Heimdall, and each world has its own specific bonus game.This game has cascading reels, and you will fill up a charge meter for every win you gain through this feature, when the reel is charged, you will trigger bonus features, and if you fill your bar high enough, these can be very profitable.A great looking slot, with familiar gameplay, but taken to a whole new level, this is a game that certainly looks capable of proving Play’n Go’s claim to be true!
