Thunderstruck II

Thunderstruck II Review

The lush, ethereal world of Norse mythology is ripe with opportunities to be presented in a manner fit for an avid slot-goer. With the advent of the recent movie blockbuster “Thor”, the pantheon of Nordic gods seems to have found its place within the realm of popular entertainment. With that said, in “Thunderstruck II”, Microgaming has achieved a dazzling and most satisfying sequel to the original game, worthy of its predecessor and earning almost instant legendary status among video slot players.

“Thunderstruck II” Characteristics

Visuals do not fall short of high expectations – dominant hues of blue are symbolic of the icy surroundings over which Odin ruled. Magical properties of Nordic gods are evident throughout the plethora of features and bonuses. The audio portion of the game is a spectacle of its own kind – reminiscent of scores composed for epic movies such as “The Lord of the Rings,” it serves as an ideal backdrop for the game. The gaming itself is dynamic and does not halt your enjoyment at any point – not one bit!

Potential cash prizes are huge and a great incentive for a player. Impressive graphics are best to experience on high-end tablet devices like iPad, although performance on smaller mobile devices does not disappoint either. Still, with all these pros, here’s the real deal breaker and a total belter: the potential in-game jackpot amounts to a whopping $2.5 million! Just so if you had any doubts whether you should bother yourself for a spin or two – we thought we’d help with that decision.

Special Features

Special Features are innovative and seemingly endless. There are over 240 ways for winning and a total of 4 bonus events which are a feast for both your eyes and adrenaline glands. “Thunderstruck II” logo serves as a “wild”, substituting all other symbols (and is accompanied by a suitable thunder sound effect).

Get three or more Thor’s infamous hammers (this game’s Bonus), and it will grant you access to The Great Hall of Spins. This gamblers’ Valhalla of sorts is a delightful break from the main game where you can indulge into complimentary free spins. Depending on when you trigger The Great Hall of Spins, one of the deities will show you their personal route to greatness. The beautiful and merciful Valkyrie will multiply your winnings by 5. Loki, the “bad boy,” will be even more generous and along with 15 free spins, you will get an additional goody in the form of Wild Magic Feature that will shift other symbols into more wilds. Odin, on the other hand, will send his ravens – not to worry, they won’t spy on you as the tale goes. Instead, if you’re so lucky that two of them will land on your screen, well then – you’re in for a 6x winnings treat! Finally, the God of Thunder himself, the almighty Thor blesses with 25 free spins

Conclusion

Despite having to pay 30p to spin, “Thunderstruck II” players will not be left wanting – not by a long shot. Here we have a video slot game with a steadily earned reputation of being among the best in the industry – and the fun value it brings to the table as one of the most entertaining there is.
