Warrior Graveyard xNudge

Innovative solutions provider Nolimit City revisit familiar territory with this highly-anticipated follow-up that bears the hallmarks of their February 2020 hit, Barbarian Fury.

This video slot has been fleshed out with more superb graphics and intriguing gameplay, anchored by a compelling theme. Nolimit City have somehow managed to turn up the intensity another notch in the October 2020 release, beckoning us to Warrior Graveyard to pick up the pieces of the Barbarians’ previous ill-fated battle.

Design

Nolimit City are masters of their craft and superbly manage to engender unsettling feelings of navigating dimly-lit graveyards by applying a sombre blue/grey palette, accentuated by a blood-curdling backing number. Ominous signs of chains and graves can be seen all around, while showers of mist envelope the 6-reel, 25-payline reel layout, amplifying the overall vibe.

As you would expect from a new game by this cutting-edge provider, visual presentation is sharp, and the paytable carries on the theme. Expect to find a symbol set made up of low pays like Hammers, Axes, Helms, Shields and Swords alongside corpses of fallen warriors in hues of black, blue, green, brown, and red - representing the premiums. A max payout of 6x your bet is available for landing six of the latter.

Gameplay & Features

There’s nothing elaborate here about base game win requirements. The slot pays whenever a minimum of three adjacent reels contain the same symbol during a spin.

xNudge

Central to the gameplay is the developer’s innovative xNudge dynamic, which nudges Tombstone Wilds to cover entire reels whenever they show up in partial form on reels 2-5. Each nudge required also brings a multiplier worth 1x to into the equation, climbing all the way up to 12x for a top payout worth 1,800x on a single spin.

Warrior Attack Feature

Catch 3 identical premiums - in either full or partial form, to benefit from more xNudge action. If you manage to land 3 such symbols all in full view, they proceed to move along to the left farthest reel before awarding your payout.

Free Spins

The game features a pair of Free Spins bonus rounds - one distinctly more blood-pumping than the other.

Land between 3 and 5 Scatters to grab 8,10 or 12 Graveyard Spins, which applies an unlimited win multiplier starting at 1x to every nudge made by a Tombstone Wild.

Next up are high octane Death Spins, triggered by the far more difficult task of catching 6 Scatters in a spin. The round begins with a bigger haul of 15 spins, with more unlimited multipliers in the offing as before. In a key difference, Death Spins see Tombstone Wilds lock in place for the duration of the round - offering considerably higher potential.

Feature Buy

For a cost of 72x your bet, you can trigger the ‘Nolimit Bonus’ to fast-track your way to Graveyard Spins, which then unfold in the normal fashion. Or, if you’re feeling flush, buy your way into the more lucrative Death Spins bonus for an eye-watering fee of 666x - one of the most extortionate price-tags we’ve seen attached to such a feature and outdone only by the infamous 750x outlay required in another Nolimit City slot, Deadwood.

Warrior Graveyard xNudge on Mobile

Nolimit City have ensured the game transfers seamlessly to the small screen without losing any of its superb graphic quality or immersive gameplay - ideal for gaming on the go.

Volatility

In keeping with its high-powered gameplay and burning intensity, Nolimit City is a highly volatile beast, capable of punishing the unwary with prolonged, lean streaks that do little more than sap your bankroll.

Set the game off into high gear, though, and you stand to reap some serious rewards - if you have the stamina.

The Verdict

Warrior Graveyard xNudge is another hair-raising slot from the talented team at Nolimit City that comes storming in with attitude. Building on the success of Barbarian Fury, the game provides more thrilling rides thanks to its slew of features that can build to a crescendo when they start to snowball, offering an enticing top prize worth almost 10,000x.

The developer did come in for substantial criticism after slapping a hefty 750x fee on the Bonus Buy feature found in Deadwood, but that appears to have done to little to dissuade this bold software house. They’ve shrugged their shoulders, rolled up their sleeves, and returned with another eyebrow-raising price tag that may well lead to further incrimination and risk alienating a significant proportion of the slot community.

But however you feel about bonus buys, there’s no denying this is another top notch slot from the developer, who continue to underscore their reputation as one of the finest players in the business.
