Odin's Wild Hunt Review

Odin's Wild Hunt is a medium to high volatility title by High Flyer Games, and it plays out on 6 reels, 3 rows and 729 ways to win - at least initially. The innovative Bonus Ways feature allows for up to 8 rows per reel, and a whopping 262,144 winning ways. Odin’s 4 spirit animals can all be transformed into himself as the highest value symbol, and you can look forward to a bonus round where payouts up to 6,149x is possible.

Clearly, this developer must have skipped their norse mythology class (or forgot how to google stuff). To claim that Mjölnir is Odin’s hammer doesn’t fly well with viking enthusiasts, and neither does the weird, glossy visual presentation of this game. Is this about the dreamy unicorn fantasy of a teenager or a bloodthirsty viking god. Excuse us for asking, but we much prefer the similar Dynamite Mine Explosion to this.

The Bonus Ways feature fits better with the mining theme also, and the game has twice the potential of Odin’s Wild Hunt with the same medium to high volatility. The RTP of 96.56 % is a tad higher here, but not enough to make any difference. Our impression is that this is a hasty production designed to cash in on whatever hype their little innovation can stir up in the community.

Odin's Wild Hunt Reel Screen

Odin's Wild Hunt Features

The wild symbol can land on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only, and will step in for all regular symbols. The Exploding Wins feature plays out like regular cascading wins. Winning symbols explode, and this makes room for new winning symbols to drop from above. However, scatter symbols do not explode, and this means that you can accumulate them via this feature.

The highest paying symbol is Odin with his helmet of gold. Above the reels you’ll see the 4 other premium symbols on display.

Every exploding win transforms one premium symbol to the Odin symbol, starting with the higher value horse, then follows the wolf, the raven and the owl.

Odin's Wild Hunt is the second game from this developer that comes with Bonus Ways. You will sometimes land a hammer symbol which can appear on all reels. It takes only one hammer exploding on a reel to transform it. However, you can land more than one hammer on a reel, and each hammer will give the relevant reel 1 to 3 extra symbols up to 8 in total. This means that you can get a reel expansion up to 6x8, and this increases the number of winning ways to 262,144.

You trigger the free spins bonus round by landing at least 3 scatters on the same spin. You will get 8, 15, 20 or 25 spins when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 drinking horn scatters, respectively. You can expect to land more hammer symbols during the bonus round, and also more premium animal symbols. This increases your chance for winning big, and getting the most out of the Bonus Ways feature.

The 200 Spins Odin's Wild Hunt Experience

Even though the design of this game looks a bit dated and out of place, Odin’s Wild Hunt offers a bit of novelty with the Bonus Ways.

We therefore looked forward to seeing what the one-eyed god could do for us here, and all the highlights from our session can be viewed in the brief video below.

Review Summary

If you’re going to make a game about a legendary viking god like Odin, why make it look like a glossy postcard from some 80s teenager's diary. We’re looking at you High Flyer Games. How does Odin fit in this fairytale land. A unicorn perhaps, but not a bloodthirsty berserker with one eye. And why the “wild hunt” title, when wilds don’t play any significant part in the game. So many questions, so few answers.

With that off of our chest, Odin's Wild Hunt does offer a decent enough potential of 6,149x, and a somewhat innovative Bonus Ways feature.

It’s the Hammer you really want here, but it doesn’t do all that much in the base game, usually. In the bonus round it can wreak some havoc, and expand the reels in a significant way. However, it can take a while to trigger the free spins, and the base game gets old pretty quick.

Pros

• Bonus Ways reel expansion
• Symbol transformation
• Free spins with more Bonus Ways triggers
• Medium to high volatility and 6,149x max win potential

Cons

• Dated “glossy postcard visuals” does not fit the viking theme
• Half the potential of the similar Dynamite Mine Explosion
