Super Heroes

Another treasure hunting game, but this time we are going underwater into deep seas, where treasure chests and sunken ships await us on the ocean bed. Sadly enough, what greets us is a dull and unexciting mixture of icons and symbols, hardly thrilling enough to befit a sunken treasure hunting scenario. 1 star down.The Diver, the Wild symbol, does not pay for itself but doubles all wins. The Sunken Ship, the Scatter symbol, only pays 1 x total bet amount whenever 2 ships appear on the screen, while getting 3 or more Ships award the Diver Pick Feature game but doesn’t award any cash wins. What a strange combination! On top of that, all the other symbols have low win values too. 2 stars down.So what does the Diver Pick Feature game offer? 3 scatters award 3 picks, 4 or 5 scatters award 4 or 5 picks. Each treasure chest will reveal either 5 free spins, or a cash award of 2 x, 3 x, 5 x or 10 x. If a Blue jewel is also found, a separate pick screen will appear and award either 10 x, 20 x, 50 x or a 100 x total bet win. Finding a Red jewel will award much better rewards of 100 x, 200 x, 300 x or 500 x the total bet amount. All wins during the free spins are tripled. Not exciting enough though, so 1 star down.For a treasure hunting game, Sunken Treasure lacks exciting moments. The icons do not excite, the payouts do not excite, and the three Sunken Ships icons are also hard to come by, well, for me at least. When the Diver Pick Feature game do gets triggered, the 3 picks from the triggering 3 scatter symbols do little justice to the rewards. What I got was 5 or 10 free spins at most, with the third pick giving me a 10 x total bet win. By the end of the free spins, the total wins were nothing more than 25 x my total bet for the very few free spins games that I got. Not exciting at all. This is yet another RTG game that doesn’t play well and doesn’t pay well. A game I would rather pass to play some other game. 2 stars down.

I've got big expectations whenever I try a new Yggdrasil slot these days, I've been impressed with the vast majority of their games that I have played and I'm often even reluctant to try their new games in free play mode now as I don't want to spoil the surprises for when I come to try the slot for real money! It takes a lot for me to ditch my established playing patterns but Yggdrasil really has managed it with their excellent releases.I've played a lot of super hero themed games over the years too and this is a concept that surely anybody can come up with a winner with, but I have to say so far this game hasn't really caught my imagination much. The heroes themselves look kind of generic to me and I had no real interest in learning who was who, meaning I was never really sure who I had levelled up during the bonus round and who I hadn't. I ended up remembering them purely by colour as I expect many players will, and that's a far cry from when I play The Avengers or X-Men, for example.I was also a little disappointed that you only get four free spins in return for three scatter symbols, although they do often pay out quite well and you do get seven spins for five scatters but I've never even had four yet despite several hundred spins on the game. I know, I know, more than three scatters is of course very rare but still, I do often see four a couple of times during a long session!Of the heroes, Raven (the red one...lol) has been my favourite thanks to turning three reels into stacked wilds for me which awarded me a very tasty win, but all of the heroes have some potential and I liked the fact the hero features can activate randomly during the base game - even at their highest level - as well as during the bonus round.This isn't Yggdrasil's best game I don't think, although the company is offering a big promotion based around the game at the moment so I'm going to be trying it out plenty more yet I'm sure. It's a solid slot all the same and worth trying, just maybe not quite up to the high standards set by this developer in the past.
