Fall of the Beast - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

When it comes to slots games with beastly themes, there is plenty of choice. From the fairy tale story of Beauty and the Beast to Thunderkick’s Beat the Beast series, we have played our share of beast-themed slots - although whether the Beat the Beast Mighty Sphinx online slot really qualifies as a terrifying creature is another matter.

Spinmatic has chosen to go with a much more literal take on the theme with a massive creature that lurks behind the reels. If you are looking for something a bit different in your action adventure slots, Fall of the Beast could be just the game you have been searching for.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

A fierce battle rages between the elves and an orc in this exciting game. The reels are framed with rams’ skulls and other scary artefacts, with the Beast crouched behind them. He animates throughout the game, recoiling from blasts that damage his health status and roaring when he gets a top-up from his healer symbols. A suitably exciting theme tune plays out, adding to the overall atmosphere of this highly innovative game.

Fall of the Beast RTP & volatility

The RTP of 96.31 per cent is slightly above average for an online slot; however, this is a medium volatility game and you will need patience to see the wins start to stack up in your favour. Trying out Spinmatic free slots here at Slots Temple gives you the chance to play risk-free.

Fall of the Beast bonus features & free spins

You will notice that there is a red meter at the top of the reels. This shows the health status of the Beast, which starts at 1,000. The aim is to cause him damage and make the red line disappear completely, which will activate the game’s free spins bonus round.

The fearsome metal mask symbol has no cash value, but it is certainly invaluable to the Beast. This is his healer symbol, which repairs damage and restores health according to how many land with each spin:

- 1 healer = 1
- 2 healers = 2
- 3 healers = 10
- 4 healers = 25
- 5 healers = 50

The combined efforts of the magician, warrior and priest cause significant damage to the Beast. The amount of damage is determined by the number of matching elf symbols that appear with each spin:

- 1 elf = 2
- 2 elves = 10
- 3 elves = 15
- 4 elves = 45
- 5 elves = 500

Once the Beast’s health status has dwindled to nothing, the free spins bonus round is activated. You must now select which elf will help you, with each bringing a different bonus feature to the free spins round. During the free spins, the only symbols to appear on the reels are your chosen elf and her symbols of power, along with the healer symbols:

- Magician free spins play out with the magician, a blue wild and her ram’s head, scroll and amulet. The blue wilds substitute for all other symbols and come with a multiplier throughout the bonus feature. Every win is multiplied by the number of wilds on the screen.

- Priest free spins come with sticky wilds. The priest appears with a green wild and her potion, spellbook and magical pendant. Every wild that lands on the reels becomes sticky for the remainder of your free spins, potentially creating some big cash rewards.

- Warrior free spins have expanding red wilds that fill an entire reel, which can generate multiple wins with each spin. The warrior is joined on the reels by her sword, shield and magical amulet alongside the usual healer symbols, which have no cash reward.
