Coming from a Microgaming partner, Crazy Tooth Studio...
...Fortress Charge is another unusual title, rather different from those you've seen so far.
It is a game which takes advantage of a brand new mechanic, called Reel Quest.
The title shows a medieval theme, knights and treasures both being mixed in and with excellent top payouts.
With heroes advancing on lines and paying once they reach their target...
...you can win up to 16,000x the stake!
Set in a fantasy world, Fortress Charge utilises a 6 reel, 3-row grid made out of a three-level castle type structure.
Theme & Design
From the moment you load the game...
...you can see that it's not a typical title.
The game has three stone walkways that the heroes go across, each one with 6 positions.
You find there all the heroes, villains, accessories, treasure chests and obstacles, all these being symbols used in different ways.
It's a medieval-themed title with very good design quality, and...
...the new way in which they’ve implemented it will also work to its advantage.
The bottom half of the reels look like a castle, but what makes it alluring is that...
...it has plenty of moving parts that focus more on the entertainment side.
Of course, there is also the background music that adds a nice touch to the whole atmosphere.
Betting Options
As with plenty of other modern slots, the bets are set up directly, and don’t take into account the lines, and...
...you have them between $0.10 and $15, to use as you see fit.
The payouts can reach 1,500x the stake if everything goes right, and...
...up to 16,000x wins, once multipliers get applied as well!
The slot’s RTP is good, at 96.45%, but on the other hand, its volatility is very high. (here is what this means)
If you have a look at the reels, you’ll see that on the left section of the reels the five heroes appear, while three fortresses of different size pitch on the right side of the reels.
The key to winning is to land as many heroes as possible on the reels.
Each position between the hero reel and the fortress reel may be empty or filled by a villain, an accessory, a multiplier, or a chest.
Villains payout from 0.75x to 1.35x, multiplied by the reel number they are on, while...
...chests are worth 4.5x to 15x.
The fortresses can dole out 15x – 1,500x the stake.
Multipliers come in x2 size only and up to 4 can be collected for a total of x16.
Special Features
As you've probably already noticed there are no Wilds or a Free Spins feature to spice play up, but the game does have something others cannot boast with...
...the Reel Quest Mechanic!
The bottom line here is that you want a hero to win!
If one or more heroes appear on the first reel, they move one space to the right, but, if heroes encounter a villain, they may be able to defeat them, though sometimes they cannot.
Chests are opened to reveal instant wins, and multipliers are collected and applied against the total reward for that spin.
If heroes move onto an accessory, it is collected and can be used to defeat specific villains.
The symbol you want to see on the reels is the magic wand, as...
...it defeats any villain.
Furthermore, there’s the fireball too.
When the fireballs rain down across the reels, they defeat anything that’s in a hero’s path, and they can pitch on any random spin.
To Conclude
Though the lack of Wilds and Free Spins feature might disappoint some, sometimes it’s nice to come across a game that offers something else for a change, and...
...Fortress Charge is certainly not a typical game.
In that regard, it’s another classic Crazy Tooth title that pushes the boundaries and isn’t afraid to be different.
There are also some rewards which might be enough to tempt those wavering on the fence to give this release a chance, with...
...the best-case scenario being the 1,500x fortress, with a multiplier or two picked up along the way.
The jackpot of 16,000x your stake is also there for the taking however, due to its very high volatility, you might have to wait a bit longer to reach it.
