Imagine an amateur pantomime-style cartoon starring Captain Hook and his pirate crew and you’ll be pretty close to the look and feel of Hook’s Heroes. This fun slot is powered by NetEnt and is available to play across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.Hook’s Heroes is a five-reel video slot with 20 paylines and is playable from 20p to £200 per spin.
Theme
J.M. Barrie’s memorable Captain Hook, arch-enemy of Peter Pan, is the protagonist here but appears in a way you’ve never seen him before. Hook’s Heroes has a real cartoonish vibe and his pirate crew look as if they’d be a few sandwiches short of a picnic! This adds to the enjoyable nature of the game – if you want the bad guys to help you out by creating winning combinations then you at least want them to be likeable villains!
Feature Spins Mode
One of the elements of Hook’s Heroes that adds to the entertainment value is the fact players get to pick their own free spins round. When you land three or more scatter symbols you’ll be taken to a screen where you can choose between the Mermaid Feature, the Pirate Feature and the Fairy Feature. Each will offer you a different number of free spins but they all come with their own benefits. The Mermaid Feature offers a 2x multiplier that rises to 4x when the wild symbol appears, the Pirate Feature disregards paylines and gives prizes for the number of symbols on the reels and the Fairy Feature allocates random overlay wilds onto the reels.
Verdict
This is a pretty entertaining game with a quirky theme and a new take on the character of Captain Hook. The bonus features are simple to understand yet enjoyable to play and the animation of the characters when they contribute to a win is a cool touch. Hook’s Heroes does live up to NetEnt’s reputation as being one of the industry’s top video slot developers but as far as graphics go, this one perhaps isn’t their best. In saying that, it’s an incredibly fun game and is easy enough to pick up that you can spend some time on it without investing too much.
