Thunderstruck: Stormchaser’s Exciting New Features
Like its predecessors, Thunderstruck: Stormchaser follows the Norse god Thor but this time, he is in search of his father’s sacred spear, Gungnir. Along the way, he must face tough challenges which include his wild sister, Thyra. However, a new story is not all that’s being offered as Stormcraft Studios has taken the slot series to new heights with improved graphics and epic music to accompany Thor’s legendary quest.
Fans will be excited by the new and innovative features in Thunderstruck: Stormchaser which give them even more ways to win big. An excellent example is the new Rolling Reels mechanic which will trigger on any win. When it does, winning symbols are removed from the reel and new symbols will roll in, potentially awarding multiple consecutive wins.
Multiplier symbols which can appear anywhere in the base game as well as free spins mode award a variety of win multipliers with values ranging from 2x to 20x.
The multipliers are collected while the Rolling Reels mechanic is active and the final number is applied to the total win at the end of the spin.
Avid Thunderstruck players may recognise the Wildstorm feature which was introduced in the previous instalment.
This feature can randomly trigger in the base game and will award a free spin with a chance for up to five reels to be filled with Wild symbols.
Players should also keep an eye out for Thor’s hammer, the mythic Mjölnir, which serves as the game’s Scatter symbol.
Landing a minimum of three will trigger the game’s bonus round.
When the game’s bonus round begins, it will reveal the unique Free Spins selection wheel. Players will have to spin the wheel to win their number of free spins, starting multiplier value and amount of Wildstorm tokens used during the bonus round.
The size of the multipliers and the number of free spins offered on the wheel increases with the number of Scatter symbols that land on the reel as per below:
- 3 Scatter symbols: 7-12 free spins and a 1x-6x starting multiplier
- 4 Scatter symbols: 10-15 free spins and a 3x-9x starting multiplier
- 5 Scatter symbols: 15-25 free spins and a 5x-12x starting multiplier
Landing three or more Scatter symbols during the free spins mode will grant the player an additional 5 free spins.
During the bonus round, the starting multiplier will be visible onscreen. When one or more multipliers appear on the reel in a winning spin, it is added to the total multiplier and applied to the total win amount for that spin. The total multiplier is applied to all wins with a multiplier in the reel for the duration of the feature and will continue to accumulate multipliers for an increased win potential.
The previously mentioned Wildstorm feature can also be activated in free spins mode by collecting enough Scatter Symbols. Each time two or more Scatter symbols land on the reel during free spins mode, they award Wildstorm tokens that are collected in the accompanying bar.
When 12 or more are collected, it will trigger the Wildstorm feature at the end of the free spins mode. Players can receive up to three Wildstorm spins based on the number of Scatters collected.
At the end of the bonus game, the Wildstorm tokens are reset.
For players who are keen to try the unique bonus round, they have the opportunity to instantly trigger it through the game’s Buy Free Spins feature. However, players will need to have hit the minimum base game threshold of 100 spins first to qualify for this feature.
This will cost 50x the current selected bet value. Once the purchase is confirmed, three or more Scatter symbols will land on the reels and activate the game’s free spins mode.
