Age Of The Gods Ruler Of The Dead Review

Playtech Vikings dishes up with yet another installation in their epic mythology series, and this time it’s all about the grim boatman of the Hades, carrying fresh souls across the river Styx. Age Of The Gods: Ruler Of The Dead comes with very nice animations, and a soundtrack that leaves you with an eerie feeling of impending doom.

The somewhat brutal medium to high volatility might reinforce that uncanny vibe when things don’t go your way. However, the Coin Collecting Bonus round comes with plenty of multiplier action when the gods are on your side. You still need the top tier progessive jackpot to win really big here though, which is a bit of a drawback in an otherwise solid addition to the Age of the Gods saga.

Age Of The Gods Ruler Of The Dead Features

You will benefit from a Cerberus stacked wild in this game, and you trigger the Cerberus Wild feature whenever it’s part of a winning combo. This means that your wild win will be boosted with a random multiplier up to 5x.

The Charon Wild will land fully stacked on the reels 2, 3 and 4. You only need a single instance of this symbol to trigger the Coin Collection Bonus Game. If you land at least 1 other wild, including the Cerberus wild, you will raise the feature multiplier from 1x to 3x. Land 2 extra wilds, and you’ll benefit from a 5x global multiplier.

You will now play on a 5x5 grid where only cash coins, multipliers and blanks will land. You will land gold, silver and copper coins, and they are worth 0.8x, 0.4x and 0.2x your stake, respectively. The stacked Charon wild is found in the middle with the global multiplier value on display. You need to land matching coins on either side of the Charon Wild to collect them, and the following cash win is then boosted by the global multiplier.

You can land extra multipliers values of 2x, 3x and 5x also, and these come in addition to the global Charon Wild Multiplier. You will keep getting new spins as long as you keep winning here, and the feature is finished when you don’t land a new pair of matching coins.

As usual in this series, you will also benefit from the Age of the Gods jackpot feature.

The feature is triggered at random times, and it takes you into a Pick’em bonus game with 20 coins to choose from. You win the corresponding progressive jackpot by matching 3 coins, and they are as follows:

• Power Jackpot - seeds at £50
• Extra Power Jackpot - seeds at £500
• Super Power Jackpot - seeds at £5,000
• Ultimate Power Jackpot - seeds at £100,000

The 200 Spins Age Of The Gods: Ruler Of The Dead Experience

We had some okay base game wins before we finally triggered the Coin Collection Bonus Game. This happens after the Cerberus Wild gives us a 3x multiplier win, and we trigger the feature with 2 stacked Charon Wilds. How we fared with the ferryman can be seen in the edited highlights video below, and the Coin Bonus Game starts around 1:08.

Review Summary

Age Of The Gods: Ruler Of The Dead offers a pretty solid visual experience, not least for fans of greek mythology. The gameplay is not bad either, although the regular potential of 875x is not all that impressive. Not least since the volatility is medium to high here, but you always have the possibility to land the progessive jackpots at any given time, which helps boost morale.

The spooky-looking hooded Charon Wild does a splendid job carrying you over into the Coin Collection Bonus game, rowing his boat slowly, but surely, as you collect the cash coins. The key to bigger wins outside of the jackpot feature is the multipliers you can also land, as the cash coins are not worth all that much alone.

Pros

• Stacked multiplier wild up to 5x
• Coin collection bonus round with multipliers
• Medium to high volatility and 4 progressive jackpots

Cons

• Regular max win potential is only 875x your stake
