Orcs’ Battle

In a nutshell

Orcs’ Battle slot is a Genesis Gaming production distributed on the Microgaming Quickfire platform.

It is visually pleasing but even more importantly it is straightforward no-fuss reel-rolling fun.

A closer look

Two orcs and their weapons are spinning alongside high card symbols to form winning combinations on up to 50 pay lines across the 5 reels. The graphics in the Orcs’ Battle slot are pleasing and the main characters hit the right spot between funny and creepy. Many players will appreciate the fact that these orcs are dedicated game creations and don’t try to look like their fellow creatures from big franchises.

To secure winning lines and rewarding pay outs you can place between one and five bets at between 0.01 and 0.5 on each spin. The controls are highly intuitive with some nice gimmicks integrated into the game background.

There is a wild substituting for any symbol but the scatter. And the scatter, the Orcs’ Battle slot logo, is your ticket to free spins. Hit three or more scatters to secure 10 free spins in which the wilds become sticky and once hit will stay around for the remainder of the feature.

The only slight let-down is the music. Composed to evoke the image of phantasy movie battle scenes it is not at all bad, but rather than hearing one continuing movement in the background while you play, there are many pieces composed to last one spin each. Using the skill stop feature means bringing them to a sudden death which gets very annoying very quickly.

Free spins feature

The detailed Orcs’ Battle video slot logo is the game’s scatter. Hit it three or more times anywhere on your pay lines and you will gain access to 10 free spins.

These are played on the same reels and at the same bet size as the main game but the wilds will be sticky. Once you hit a wild it will grow a stone frame and stay in its place for the rest of the free spin round. Playing all pay lines will make serial 5-in-a-row wins as good as a given here.
