Kensei Blades Slot Review
I’m not the biggest anime fan, so this game is taking me way out of my comfort zone. Fan or not, there’s no denying the genre's popularity, though.
In 2021, the industry was said to be worth $25.46 billion, and Spirited Away, a 2001 feature film, was even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film in 2003.
It seems that anime’s time has come, so get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Kensei Blades slot from Betsoft Gaming.
Gameplay
Kensei Blades slot is a thing of beauty. The attention to detail is astonishing and I found myself just staring at it for minutes at a time.
It looks great on my phone in portrait mode, although it’s a pity the dude and babe characters have the controls overlaid on top of them.
I was surprised to see that in landscape mode on my phone, the grid become really small, and the controls weren’t positioned all that well, with some underneath the reels, and some to the side. I also found it strange that the Autospin feature was shifted to the hamburger menu.
Moving on from the mobile side of things, underneath this stunning slot is an RTP that’s a bit low (95.12%), a medium volatility, 720 ways to win, and best of all – a max win worth €341,400.
Unfortunately, players who do their thing with Japanese yen won’t be able to do it on this game.
Features
FREE SPINS:
You’ll initiate the Free Spins round when you land a Free Spins symbol (which is 2 crossed swords) on each of the reels. Every combo of 5 Free Spins symbols will see you rewarded with 8 Free Spins along with a cash prize worth 1x your total bet.
You can scoop up 96 Free Spins in a single win, or re-trigger the Free Spins up to a maximum of 240 of em in a single game. What? That’s amazeballs!
KENSEI SCATTER:
This is the dude character, by the way.
3 Scatter symbols = 2x your total bet
4 Scatter symbols = 10x your total bet
5 Scatters = 50x your total bet
SAKURA WILDS:
The babe Wild substitutes for all symbols other than the Scatter and the Free Spins symbol.
Performance
Kensei Blades slot slashed its way through a whole whack of spins – on both my laptop and phone – with no problems at all. Feel free to use the browser of your choice, too (I tested Safari and Chrome).
Maximum Win
You can start laying bets at just €0.50 but the max bet of €100 would be so much better if you landed the 3,414x multiplier. You don’t need to be a mathematical wizard to figure out that the win in that case would be €341,400.
Conclusion
Calling all Free Spin lovers – this one’s for you. I mean, when last did you see a game that offers 96 Free Spins on a single win, or 240 Free Spins in a single game?
Other than Free Spins, Kensei Blades slot offers a stunning environment, a whopper of a max win, and it’s also a peach to play on your phone (in portrait mode, mind). Only the RTP lets it down a little, but it’s not the end of the world.
