Thunderstruck is one of Microgaming’s fastest, most exciting slot games and so it comes as no surprise that its sequel, Thunderstruck II, is at least as good, if not better.
Themes
The game encompasses a Norse god theme, which is as sleek as it is super-stylish. Characters include the most famous Norse god of them all, Thor, as well as Loki, Odin and Valkyrie. There are also Viking long boats and a mythical city of dead soldiers, which has to be accessed via a rainbow.
Game play
Thunderstruck II boasts five reels and nine lines and an impressive 243 different ways to win. Battleships, enchanted castles and Thor help players steer through the game and maximise their winnings. The Thunderstruck logo acts as the Wild Multiplier and doubles the payout for certain combinations while the Scatter Symbol comes in the form of a hammer and two or more can compete a winning scatter combination. When three or more hammers appear over five reels players are granted access to the Great Hall of Spins bonus games. For those looking for an even bigger thrill, the slot offers a gambling feature, which players can choose or skip. Players opting to gamble are asked to bet on a card colour or suit and can double or even quadruple their winnings if correct.
Bonus games
A Wild Storm bonus game is activated randomly and converts all five reels into wilds, allowing players the chance to achieve multiple winning combinations. The four bonus games within the Great Hall of Spins offer anything from 10 to 25 free spins, depending on the importance of the god whose game you’ve entered. Each god’s bonus game is activated once players have entered the Great Hall a certain number of times.
Verdict
Stunning HD graphics, a cinematic sound and a cool theme combine to make Thunderstruck II a pleasure to play. Details from reels made of ice to incredible thunderous sound effects ensure this slot will enchant and absorb players while the game play itself will keep you interested.
