It’s another busy week on the new video slot releases front with the latest arrivals being exclusively released early – summon wolf hunters, take in a trip to classic China and go on 2 medieval adventures.
Shields of the Wild – NextGen Gaming
The first of those mediaeval adventures is Shields of the Wild from NextGen Gaming. It’s a 5 reel, 10 payline video slot where players get to go into battle with a gallant knight who goes by the unlikely name of Sir Virilis Manblade.
Highlights here include the Shield Wall feature which can trigger on any base game spin. A volley of arrows are fired at the reels, upgrading the symbols they land on. Up to 8 upgrades are possible which could deliver plenty of added wilds.
In the Marching Stacks feature you’ll be awarded free spins complete with symbol upgrades and stacks of matching symbols that move across the reels. Well designed, this medium to high variance game is an entertaining one. If you like the historical theme, then Shields of the Wild is well worth a look.

A new week wouldn’t be a new week without a Chinese themed title and WMS have delivered here. Forbidden Dragons is played using 2 different reel sets that combine to offer 10 reels and 100 paylines. Land full stack of wilds on the main set and they’ll transfer onto the equivalent position on the 12-high colossal reels.
The game also comes with a Free Spins Bonus feature that awards 8, 12 or 20 free spins. Hope to land plenty of wins on the colossal reels as they benefit from a bumper 5x multiplier boost!
