Storm Lordsby RealTime Gaming

If you’ve been playing slot games for any amount of time you’ve certainly noticed the overabundance of Chinese-themed games. Whether it’s the mysteries of Ancient China or just some dragons and lanterns developers can’t seem to get enough of this far eastern setting.

But now Real Time Gaming is shaking the concept a bit.

Because Storm Lords is not set in China…

…it’s set in Japan. And it’s got anime stylings and trappings and cherry blossoms. What more could you possibly want? Except for some interesting features and cool graphics which are also present here.

Theme

The entirety of the game takes place in what looks like a Buddhist temple in wintertime. There is snow on the stone façade but the sakura is also flying along so it’s probably March.

It’s a very aesthetically pleasing scene helped by Real Time Gaming paying a lot of attention to details and animations. One especially lovely detail is how to flames from the two torches at the entrance illuminate and reflect in the stone masonry of the gate.

The reels are graced…

…by a cast of characters who are clearly some kind of magical warriors. Especially the two leads featured on the promotional material and on the games two wild symbols.

These two actually play a whole little smooth animation when they’re a part of a winning combination that looks ripped straight out of an anime.

In addition to these, there is a whole host of magical trinkets such as amulets and coins.

Betting Options and Functions

This fighting fantasy has five reels and three rows and 50 variable paylines. Punters can choose the number of lines they bet on, all the way from just one to the maximum.

Because bets are selected per line, this opens a whole range of denominations and players who like a lot of control in their game will appreciate it.

Autospin can be used as well as quickspin to make the game go faster.

Special Features

A magic-themed game needs some magical special features and Storm Lords have us covered.

The great thing about the wild symbols, aside from the luscious animation, is they’re nudging. They’re 1x3 symbols and always cover the whole reel.

Another cool feature is the treasure coins. It starts anytime six or more treasure coins appear and initiates respins to see how many coins can land in total.

The coins that land are held in place…

…and the object is to fill the reels with them as they pay out a jackpot.

But this is not all:

Because there are also two types of extra spins. The first is called Wild Reels and features the two wilds locked in place on reels two and four.

The second is Treasure Reels where reel five is full of treasure coins.

A really fun thing is that the treasure coin game can be activated during extra spins.

Our Take

So what do we think about this trip to Japan?

Anyone who enjoys the style of anime will love this game and those who don’t will still find it a worthy offering because of its special features and gameplay.
