Fantasma Games decided to go down the route of animals in a fantasy setting for the theme in the Heroes Hunt Megaways slot, which first made an impression on the iGaming scene in April 2020. Although it uses the same game engine as many releases, this specific entrant differs a lot from other Megaways slots in terms of the manner in which its playgrid functions. Besides this, there is a collection of alternate creative additions to the gameplay in this Heroes Hunt Megaways slot as well as expanding wilds, respins and multipliers. 

As we have briefly mentioned, the Heroes Hunt Megaways playtable works in a unique way compared to other online slot games that feature the Megaways engine. This is because the reels do not actually change layout across the 6x6 game grid; however, the number of symbols that land does alternate. As a result of this, the payline count has been reduced slightly, with 46,656  being featured in the Heroes Hunt Megaways slot, a total still higher than many games. Directly above the reels, there are 3 other symbols depicting fantasy animals; however, more on this detail later.

The Heroes Hunt Megaways slot sees its playtable situated within a dark cavern that has rugged stone terrain. A series of spiked stalagmites is visible here, and the grey colour palette is broken up by some purple crystals scattered across this cave. Games such as Crystal Cavern Megaways, as well as the Dwarf & Dragon slot, feature similar settings; however, it is the fantasy symbols included in Heroes Hunt Megaways that make the aesthetic stand out.

Speaking of the symbols in the Heroes Hunt Megaways slot, the lower valued ones consist of different coloured crystals, just like in Gems Inferno Megaways. The higher valued ones are more entwined with the fantasy theme, as different animal characters and treasure-related items complete the paytable.

Lower Value Symbols:

Dark Blue Crystal

Light Blue Crystal

Purple Blue Crystal

Green Blue Crystal

Medium Value Symbols:

Gold Coin

Gold Crown

Squirrel Archer

Higher Value Symbols:

Raven Wizard

Lion Warrior

Red Dragon

There is just the one out and out bonus symbol in the Heroes Hunt Megaways slot, that being the treasure chest. However, upon this landing, this could potentially reveal a number of different things which relate to the other bonus mechanics in this game.

One of the main ways in which the playgrid in Heroes Hunt Megaways differs from most titles is through the inclusion of blocker symbols. These behave like the ones found in Slingo games and essentially take up space on the reels, preventing other symbols from landing in their place. With each base game spin, there could be up to 4 of these that appear in random sections, giving the illusion of a new layout with every press of the spin button.

Another of the bonus mechanics in the Heroes Hunt Megaways slot that has been carried over from the Megaways engine, though, is the Avalanche feature. This sees any crystal or fantasy symbols explode and disappear from the plautable in the instance they form part of a combination. In their wake, new symbols are then able to drop down from above and fill in the gaps that have been left behind.

Getting back around to the singular bonus symbol in the Heroes Hunt Megaways slot, the treasure chest could potentially appear on reel 6 and proceed to open. If this occurs, these could either reveal mimics or experience points, which could be collected by one of the character symbols above the reels. Should a character collect enough of these experience points, this could trigger one of the following modifiers:

Explosion Feature: Relates to the Raven Wizard and sees any blockers explode, removing symbols in a 2x2 or 3x3 radius before triggering an Avalanche.

Expanding Wild Feature: Relates to the Lion Warrior and adds sword wilds to the reels that could expand to fill a full reel. In addition to this, these substituting symbols could feature multipliers between 1x and 6x.

Respin Feature: Relates to the Squirrel Archer and removes between 6 and 12 symbols from the reels, triggering a respin to fill these empty spaces.

As we mentioned earlier, the treasure chest symbols could potentially reveal mimics, too and should this occur, this could trigger 10 free spins. During this Heroes Hunt Megaways bonus round, all of the aforementioned fantasy character modifiers may trigger at random.

The developers over at Fantasma Games have also incorporated HTML5 software into each and every one of their titles, including this Heroes Hunt Megaways slot. This means that if a user has a preference towards smartphones, tablets or computer devices, the experience and quality remain consistent across all these play methods at BoyleSports Games as long as the user is connected to the internet.

Heroes Hunt Megaways features a nuanced approach to the Megaways blueprint and a whole series of fantasy-themed bonus elements.

Releases such as Knights of the Golden Egg and the Cat Clans slot feature fantasy style elements, and animals should you be a fan of the theme used in this inventive Heroes Hunt Megaways slot.
