Yes, it’s another medieval slot to add to the apparently ever-growing collection of slots based on a theme that, we all must admit, had probably run its course some time ago.The newest offering comes from NextGen in the shape of Shields of the Wild, and while it’s tough to get excited about a new slot on such an old theme, this developer has earned the benefit of the doubt over the years.
About the slot
With five reels and 10 paylines, Shields of the Wild is playable from 10p to £100 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.If you were hoping for something fresh and unique from the design here then prepare yourself for disappointment, because as good as this slot looks, we’ve seen it all before.The Field of Elysium are the backdrop for a war between two rival factions, with the reels full of shields of various kinds, while the game’s logo plays the part of the wild and pays out 25x your stake for five on a payline as well as switching out for all regular symbols to help with winning paylines.
Gameplay
There’s a Shield Wall feature that triggers randomly in the base game, upgrading all symbols by one, to bring the possibility of larger wins to the table.As useful as this feature is, the main event with this slot is the Marching Stacks Free Games feature.Land three, four, or five scatters for a higher ranking symbol stacked on the fifth reel, which upgrades every time a sword symbol lands during the spins while the stack remains stuck to the reels for the duration.If you fill the reels with the highest value shield here, which is certainly possible, you’ll land 100x your bet.The gameplay is fun here, but whether that makes up for the derivative design of Shields of the Wild is up to you.
