Get ready for a bold new creative direction in casino slot games with Wild Worlds, NetEnt’s ground-breaking online slot. The planet is under attack from evil forces, but three birdlike heroes are taking the fight back to the enemy. Join them on an incredible visual journey of discovery as they seek to defeat the monsters lurking in three different worlds. Wild Worlds is a refreshing new experience in online casino games that’s sure to captivate players with tumbling reels, video game-style action, bonus features galore, and multi-level free spins with the chance to win up to 2,500x your bet.
Game overview
This visually exciting, cluster-pays slot is presented in the style of a cartoon monster movie. The feeling is more like a video game than the standard fare of online slots. The action in Wild Worlds plays out on a split-screen gaming window, which is a very different visual treatment than fans will be used to seeing in online casino slots. The background is a science-fictional city where monsters wreak havoc beneath a gloomy sky. On the left is a command center where three feathery cartoon agents are itching to kick the butts of the monsters invading their world! There’s a tough blue bird-guy, a sassy pink bird-girl and a streetwise green bird-dude with a big yellow crest. On the right is the 5x5 base game screen that’s common to online slot machines. The bass of the modern EDM soundtrack kicks… while our trio of bird heroes kick some butt.
The low-paying symbols are green, pink and blue gems. Medium-value symbols are gems ornamented in gold, and marked with the outlines of the blue, pink and green heroes. The premium symbols are a black symbol with a crown and the Hero wild, both worth 100x if you land 5 of them. Scatter symbols marked with an “S” trigger the bonus features, which play out in the three Wild Worlds – the Dark Forest, Ice World and Fire Lands. Let’s take a closer look at how to play.
How to play
Gamers who play online slots for real money say that Wild Worlds has an especially solid base game. Every spin sends 25 symbols cascading onto tumbling avalanche reels, where winning combinations explode to make space for more symbols tumbling from above. The tumbling effect means you can potentially win over and over throughout an entire spin sequence.
If you don’t land a winning spin, there’s always a chance you’ll activate the Destroy feature. This blows all symbols except scatters and wilds off the reels so new symbols can tumble into place for more winning chances. Then, one or more winning combinations of medium-value symbols with character outlines trigger Hero wilds – and all other matching pay symbols turn wild!
To level up the gameplay, you need to land 3 scatters in the base game, which will fire up the first bonus round. The game leads you to a second screen with a wheel that randomly selects the first bonus-round world you’ll enter – the Dark Forest, Ice World or Fire Lands. The three heroes then face off against three monster captains on the battleground at the left of the screen. Each hero has their own specific Hero Attack, triggered by landing any winning combination of low-value or medium-value symbols. These attacks reduce the monsters’ health and power up the attacking character’s Hero meter. Collecting 3 wins triggers the character’s Hero Super Attack and deals out more pain to the monsters. Once the captains are disposed of, it’s time to fight the level boss.
Captains have 15 health points, bosses have 105. Attacks and Super Attack reduce monster health points by 1-4 points. Defeat all four monsters on a level and you get 8 extra free spins. Then it’s time to fight a new set of monsters on a different world. If there are no more free spins or you’ve slugged your way through all three worlds, you go back to the base game.
Graphics
An outstanding feature of Wild Worlds is the quality of the futuristic, cartoon-style graphics and animations. The animated intro and cutscenes will take your breath away. In the base game, the monster mayhem in the background and the heroes’ reactions to events on the reels are great fun to watch. Then when you get to the bonus rounds, the unique atmosphere of each world is rendered expertly. The different backgrounds and monsters of the Dark Forest, Ice World and Fire Lands are incredibly expressive – it’s like playing three separate slot themes in one game. The bosses are impressively big and mean, while each hero has its own distinctive graphic style. All in all, Wild Worlds is a feast for the eyes.
Features
An interesting feature of Dark Forest, Ice World and Fire Lands is that each world has its own distinct wild modifier. When a monster is knocked out, a birdlike alien appears and drops the wilds in a specific pattern on the game grid – a different pattern for each world.
Dark Forest has Spreading Wilds that drop into random reel positions. Ice World’s Heavy Wilds stack two wilds once or twice on random reel positions. The Random Wilds of the Fire Lands turn 2 to 4 paying symbols into one wild.
These win-enhancing special features add an extra layer of fun to the multi-layered entertainment extravaganza of Wild Worlds.
Bonuses and jackpots
When NetEnt created Wild Worlds, it was focusing squarely on entertainment value – and Wild Worlds delivers in spades. It’s a medium-variance slot that offers top wins of 200x with every spin, with a theoretical maximum payout of 2,500x and an RTP (return to player) of 96.47%. Fans of real online slots know that medium variance means your balance won’t run out that fast, which is important – it takes some time to fight through the multiple levels of monsters, which means a lot of spins.
