Beasts of Fire Review

The visual presentation you get in Play’n Go’s Beasts of Fire, as well as the title of the game itself, will only make sense if you’re familiar with the somewhat interesting backstory. The Great Plains was once hit by a strange meteor “like no other”. However, instead of being an extinction-level event, this otherworldly meteor upgraded the herd of buffalos with mystical supernatural powers. This gave birth to the Fire Beasts you’ll see in the bonus round.

It’s basically a fiery meteor-like buffalo with twice the symbol value of the regular buffalo, and symbols tend to land in stacks of 2 and more in all stages of the game. The Meteor Respins feature increases your chances of triggering the random Charging Buffalo feature, and Respins also increase the number of rows and win ways. The 25,000x potential is solid for a medium to high volatility release, and this is a somewhat unusual take on the popular Buffalo genre.

You win by landing matching symbols from left to right on any row, and the animal premium symbols pay between 3 to 6 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The ‘buffalo in sunset’ Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combos, but it can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.

The wild holds no value of its own, and it cannot substitute for scatter or meteor symbols.

The Charging Buffalo feature can trigger at any given time during the base game, and this increases the number of top-tier buffalo symbols on the reels. You’re not guaranteed a win from this feature, but your chances of a solid premium payout is definitely boosted.

The Meteor symbols can land on reel 3 only, and you need only 1 to trigger the Meteor Respins feature. All reels are then expanded by +1 row, and the Charging Buffalo feature has a higher likelihood of triggering. Landing new Meteor symbols expands the reels with +1 row up to 3 times at the most, and this also awards a new respin. New meteors cannot land when the grid is maxed out with 12,348 win ways, and everything resets when the feature ends.

The golden scatters can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, and you need 3 in view to trigger the Burnin’ Power Bonus Round.

This awards 10 free spins, and the top-tier Buffalo is replaced by a Fire Beast version for the duration of the feature. The Fire Beast is worth twice as much, and you can also trigger the Meteor Respins feature during the bonus round. The big difference is that reels stay expanded between Meteor Respins triggers, but if you retrigger the bonus round the grid resets.

You get to see a few wild wins here and there in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round at 1:17 into the 2:24-minute highlights video. We managed to trigger the Meteor Respins feature within the bonus round to expand the grid, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

A herd of buffalos getting “super powers” from being hit by a meteor is certainly an original backstory, if not a very realistic one. It’s enough to explain the somewhat strange visuals you find in this game though, and the Fire Beast symbol looks like a convincing meteor version of a buffalo. The Charging Buffalo feature can create pulse-raising moments in the base game, not least if the grid size and number of win ways is increased.

This can only happen via the Meteor Respins feature, of course, but we like that your Charging Buffalo chances are increased when the meteor hits. In short, there is enough going on in the base game to keep you on your toes, and the double-value Fire Beast symbol enhances everything when the bonus round triggers. The 25,000x potential is solid enough, but your chances of cracking it is 1 in 100 million.

Pros

• Charging Buffalo extra top-tier symbols
• Meteor Respins w/ reel expansion
• FS w/ 2x value Fire Beast top-tier symbol
• Win up to 25,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• Max win probability of 1 in 100 million
