Battle Dwarfby Japan Technicals Games

Ever since Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” made a transition from book to blockbuster movie, mainstream culture was forever changed. Suddenly, wizards, elves, dwarves, dragons, and the rest of the assorted fantasy menagerie were everywhere.

And they stayed everywhere, too. Like in this offering by Japan Technicals Games that’s concerned with an epic battle between a Battle Dwarf and a big fearsome dragon.

Bringing over a taste of pachislot, Japan’s premier choice for RNG gambling, JTG in collaboration with Solid Gaming have created this fantasy-themed game in which battles and treasures abound.

Theme

It’s clear that the visual look of this game was inspired by…

…fantasy genre classics like Game of Thrones, Dungeons & Dragons and Warcraft.

Set in a subterranean entrance to some vast underground dungeon or palace or temple where there might be untold treasures the playing area is framed by heavy stone pillars with runic inscriptions.

And on the reels:

The low paying symbols are for once not card suits but instead pieces of equipment one might find near or on a dwarf…

…a shield, a helmet, a hammer, and his axe.

The high paying symbols represent the cast of this epic tale. Goblins, trolls, a dragon, and the dwarf himself.

The overall quality of presentation is very high and reminiscent of a polished mobile RPG game. An especially impressive part are the battles against enemies which are rendered in full 3D.

Japan Technicals Games has gone all out on the graphical quality, and it shows.

Betting Options and Functions

Recalling the pachislots that it draws its inspiration from, the game has three reels and three rows and fixed paylines.

In order to get a chance to do battle with the dragon, punters must stake a minimum of 20 cents.

Or, to really show the dragon who’s boss…

…throw in a whole $100 into the ring.

Being a very mobile-friendly release, it’s fully optimized for touch input and looks stunning in portrait mode. It also comes with three different speed settings for animations so punters can take a few spins even if they have just a moment of time.

Special Features

Any game with such bombastic graphics has to have some equally epic special features.

And…

…Battle Dwarf totally nails it.

The main feature punters will be aching to get is the Battle Mode in which our brave dwarf squares off against one of three deadly enemies – the sneaky goblin, the towering troll, or the massive dragon.

It’s a pick game in which players choose one of three option to determine if they scored a hit or took damage.

Defeating the enemy or running away will grant a certain number of extra spins here called “Treasure Rush”.

During this mode, punters can retrigger more spins by opening treasure chests. And every 30 spins the chance for a battle to retrigger is higher.

These high chances of bonus chains are, of course, a result of the pachislot inspiration which are known for their long and flashy retriggers.

Our Take

JTG has knocked it out of the park yet again with this offering that’s full of enticing features and epic graphics. This developer is showing they’re definitely someone to look out for in the future.

Punters will have a lot to love in this release that’s fast-paced and mobile-friendly and offers the chance for long bonus chains.
