Warlords: Crystals of Power is a stunning slot throughout.

In CasinoWizard’s humble opinion, it is one of the best Netent slots ever made.

NetEntertainment released releases Warlords – Crystal of Power in 2016 when it wowed slots players with its incredible graphics, three exciting free spins games, stacked symbols, overlay Wilds, and battling Scatters!

Warlords: Crystals of Power introduction, including RTP and variance

There are 30 fixed paylines in this 3×5 slot game. The production value of Warlords is high, it’s one of those in which NetEnt put maximum effort, and it shows.

The game is complex, with three types of free spins, and they don’t get triggered frequently, so the variance is high. The theoretical payout is 96.89%.

Warlords: Crystals of Power gameplay and paytable

Barbarian, Priestess, and Samurai are the three main characters in the game – the three types of Warlords. Each has its own free spins game, its own stacked symbol, its animal companion, and a mask.

The Samurai is the best-paying symbol and is accompanied by a Wolf. The beautiful Priestess pays a bit less and is accompanied by a Puma, while the rugged Barbarian is the lowest-paying main symbol, and his Wild Boar is the lowest-paying medium symbol.

The three Mask symbols complete the set of nine symbols in this game. Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except for Scatter, and it pays the same as the Samurai symbol.

During every spin in the main game, the Random Overlay Wild feature may be activated. There are three types of this feature, one for each main character, and it can award from 2 to 5 overlay Wilds.

Bonus Features

There are three Scatters, one for each character, and there are three corresponding free spins games.

The Barbarian Free Spins award a minimum of 9 free spins with only Warrior and Animal symbols present. This free spins bonus has the lowest variance. It is easy to get retriggers, but it is a hard bonus to get huge wins on.

The Priestess Free Spins award 7 free spins with each Scatter increasing the multiplier by 1x during the feature.

The Samurai Free Spins bonus awards 5 free spins with Scatter becoming a Sticky Wild for the duration of free spins. When you get a good number of sticky wilds in strategic positions on the reels, this feature can yield you some impressive wins.

Scatters only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 during the base game and can appear on all five reels during the free spins.

If you land Scatters of a different colour, they will battle it out to determine the colour of the feature. If there’s an identical number of different scatters, then the chances are equally divided, and if there’s more of one scatter, then that’s the colour more likely to win.

In the main game, Re-Spins are awarded when 2 or more Scatter symbols appear on the reels, and this is a nice way of getting that third Scatter you need to start the free spins game.

CasinoWizard’s verdict: 3 out of 5 stars

Warlords is a medium to high variance game with exciting free spins features, re-spins, overlay Wilds, and all this makes playing the game a fantastic experience.

When it comes to payouts, Warlords is a struggle to play, and it will only pay out when it decides to pay out big.

Netent has delivered a  quality title, that every slots lover should try out at least once.

Warlords is a beautiful, well-crafted online slot and provides a thrilling experience, both in the base game and during the free spins bonuses.

A joy to play!
