Legend of Musashi Slot Review

In my middle school, the boys toilets had those long trough urinals. And being extremely immature schoolboys, we would stand as far as we could from each other and try to cross streams.

We called it sword fighting. I can’t remember how we determined a winner. I think both fighters were more often losers. You can’t be a winner with pee on your shoes. But we thought it was funny.

One swordsman you’d never dare pee on was Musashi, a legendary double-bladed swordsman from feudal Japan! Who also happens to be the protagonist in Legend of Musashi slot from Yggdrasil.

Gameplay

Legend of Musashi slot has an RTP of 96%. Bets are limited to €0.20 and €10, with plenty of options in between. This slot is available to play with fiat currencies only.

You play on a 6x4 grid with 4096 ways to land winning combinations. Symbols that form part of a win are removed, allowing symbols to cascade in and new symbols to land, potentially forming more wins.

For every cascade, an overall Monster multiplier increases by one and is applied to subsequent wins. The multiplier resets to 1x when there are no more cascades.

The best multiplier you can hit is 20,000x, and if you’re playing with the highest bet, you could win €200,000, the game’s maximum prize!

And finally, Legend of Musashi slot is a high-volatility game.

Features

WILDS

The Wild symbol, a scroll with the letter w on it, substitutes for all paying symbols with the exception of the Scatter symbol.

SCATTERS

The Scatter symbol is a wooden Japanese lantern and can appear on any reel. You need to land 3 or more to trigger Free Spins. Scatters over 3 award 2 additional Free Spins each.

If less than 3 Scatters hit, they’re collected and are reflected in the Japanese 12 zodiac animals shaped meters below the reels.

For every 65 Scatters you collect, you fill one of the zodiac animal meters and trigger the Power Mode Feature.

If you collect 650 Scatters, you fill all the zodiac animal meters and trigger the Super Free Spins.

POWER MODE

When you trigger the Power Mode feature, you’re presented with a wooden box that opens to reveal between 3 and 10 shurikens, or throwing stars. These are the number of lives you have during the feature.

Then you’re returned to the reels. These spins are not free and still cost your chosen bet level per spin.

When a Wild symbol lands on the reels. It turns into an Expanding Wild, filling the entire reel and converting every symbol into a Wild except for the Scatter. Every Wild converted into Expanding Wild uses up one of your lives.

If you land more Wild symbols than you have lives, the Wilds convert from left to right until there are no more lives, and you’ll be awarded any wins that appear on the reels.

Power Mode lasts for as long as you have lives.

FREE SPINS

During Free Spins, all Wilds are Expanding Wilds, and the overall multiplier increases by 1x for every cascade and resets after each spin.

If you land a Scatter anywhere on the reels, you’re awarded 1 additional Free Spin, and the base value of the overall multiplier is increased by 1x. So instead of always being reset to 1x on every spin, it will remain higher.

SUPER FREE SPINS

As I mentioned, you need to collect 650 Scatter symbols to trigger the Super Free Spins. They work exactly the same as normal Free Spins, except the overall multiplier doesn’t reset on each spin and continues to increase until the end of the feature.

BUY BONUS

If you get bored of trying to trigger Free Spins in the base game, the game gives you the option to trigger them automatically, which randomly awards 10 to 16 Free Spins for 80x your current bet.

You can also buy 65 scatters to trigger Power Mode for 27x your current bet.

Performance

Legend of Musashi slot played perfectly on my Windows laptop and Android phone.

Maximum Win

The betting range is €0.20 to €10. The highest multiplier is 20,000x, which can lead to the game’s best win of €200,000.

Conclusion

I love the look of Legend of Musashi slot and appreciate that Yggdrasil added an element of story to the game with Musashi, who is a fascinating historical figure who more people should know about!

As far as most Japanese slots go, this is one of the most impressive I’ve seen in terms of graphics and gameplay.

The game isn’t very experimental with its features. As per usual, Free Spins are where you’ll make your money with the handy Expanding Wild symbols.

The Power Mode and Super Free Spins are frankly a little out of reach, requiring you to collect 65 and 650 Scatter symbols in the base game to trigger them. You’ll spend hours and loads of money trying to make them happen.

So it was a bit of a relief to see that you could purchase the features at a reasonable cost.

This is definitely a fine game to add to your Favorites list.
