Of Sabers and Monsters

Of Sabers and Monsters is an engaging video slot from Yggdrasil Gaming that immerses players in a vibrant world inspired by Cossack culture. Set against a picturesque backdrop of golden wheat fields and cartoonish clouds, the game features a 6×4 grid with an impressive 4,096 ways to win. Players join four saber-wielding Cossack heroes as they battle various monsters for rewards.

The symbol set includes lower-paying card suits and higher-paying character symbols representing the Cossack heroes. When players land wins with these character symbols, they fill up the Focus Meter associated with each hero. Once a hero's meter reaches 100 points, it activates the Ardent Respins feature, where the character becomes a sticky wild if they win their battle against a monster.

The Feather Symbol is another exciting aspect of the game. It can appear on the sixth reel and grants random rewards such as cash prizes ranging from 4x to 200x the bet or additional free spins. The game offers two types of Free Spins: standard free spins awarded for landing scatter symbols and Tempest Free Spins triggered by the Feather Symbol. During Tempest Free Spins, all heroes are in Ardent Mode, ensuring they win every battle.

Of Sabers and Monsters also includes a Skirmish feature that activates when any of the middle four reels are filled with premium symbols. This feature prompts all character symbols on those reels to battle monsters, turning them into wilds if they win.

For players seeking immediate action, a Bonus Buy option is available, allowing direct access to the Free Spins feature for 500 times the bet.

With high volatility and a maximum win potential of 18,350x the stake, Of Sabers and Monsters offers an exhilarating experience for thrill-seekers. While the default RTP is set at a competitive 96%, operators have the option to adjust it downwards.

Overall, Of Sabers and Monsters successfully combines Yggdrasil's signature high-quality graphics with innovative gameplay mechanics inspired by their Vikings series. The blend of engaging features and captivating visuals makes this slot an exciting adventure for players looking to join the Cossack heroes in their quest against monstrous foes.
