Following on from the success of Boom Pirates, the first slot in the WonderWays series, Cossacks: The Wild Hunt follows hot on its heels and becomes the second release developed by Foxium exclusively for Microgaming.Inspired by Norse Mythology, Cossacks: The Wild Hunt relates to a great story, fantastic visuals, and a combination of bonus features. The meaning of Cossack is ‘free man’ and derives from a community of Eastern European warriors, the game invites you on a mission to fight alongside the rebel Cossack warriors.

About Cossacks: The Wild Hunt

The action takes place on 6 reels with up to 46,656 winning ways and is available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p up to £25 per spin. Expect a highly volatile game with an RTP of 96.19% and a top prize of 10,000x the total bet.Foxium has put so much thought and attention to detail in the design with a dark, eerie forest littered with skeletons, gold coins, and beady-eyed owls staring through the trees. An atmospheric soundtrack with authentic forest noises and character voiceovers creates an excellent overall experience.In terms of features, there’s plenty of action, so let’s take a look at what Cossacks The Wild Hunt has to offer.

Gameplay

First up is the WonderWays, similar to Cascading reels where symbols in a winning combo are replaced with new symbols. After each successful cascade, the multiplier increases by 1x, and the number of WonderWays can increase up to a huge 46,656 during the feature. When no more wins occur the feature ends.Look out for the two modifier features ‘To Arms’ and ‘Release the Wilds’ which trigger randomly on any spin. To Arms throws 6 arrows onto the reels, and if they hit symbols, they transform to create 6 of a kind wins. Release the Wilds sees fire blades thrown at the reels transforming any symbols they hit into wilds.The free spins are triggered in a similar way to many slots after landing 4 scatters, but these scatters need to spell the word HUNT and 8 free spins with a progressive multiplier are awarded. An additional 2 free spins are awarded for each extra scatter landing during the free spins. You start the free spins with a 1x multiplier and this increases by 1x after each cascade. It’s possible to win even more free spins, look out for Golden axe symbols, four landing on the reels awards an additional 3 spins.

Verdict

Boom Pirates was the first in the WonderWays series of slots created by Foxium and became an instant success. With Cossacks: The Wild Hunt Foxium has taken attention to detail to another level with exquisite graphics, a fantastic story, and plenty of features to help form an abundance of generous wins.
