As usual for a NetEnt video slot, the sound and visuals are well done. The reels are set within the outer wall of a castle and are set up in a slightly unusual 4x3x4x3x4 configuration. The lower value A to 10 symbols appear on royal banners. They’re joined by axe, sword and hammer symbols as well as a knight in armour.

NetEnt has packed plenty of features into this mediaeval adventure. You have 3 wild window features that can trigger on any spin in the base game or the 2 free spins features:

  • Archer Attack feature – land a wild on the bottom position on reel 2 and an archer springs into life and fires up to 3 arrows onto the reels. The symbols the arrows land on turn wild and a new payout calculation is made.
  • Dragon’s Breath feature – a wild in the bottom position on the middle reel trigger this extra. The wild expands and fills the whole of the reel.
  • Trebuchet Assault feature – the giant catapult whirs into life if you land a wild in the bottom position on reel 4. It adds a giant wild onto the reels.

Look out for the crown which is the game’s standard scatter. When 3 of these hit on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin, you’ll trigger the Fire Siege Free Spins feature. The number of free spins awarded is determined by wear the scatters land. Each one at the top of the reel delivers 6 free spins with 3 awarded for each one elsewhere on the reels. The minimum is 9 with a maximum of 18 free spins on offer.
