Heavy Metal Princess - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

First-time players should enjoy the pre-game trailer that is triggered on loading. As anime-like graphics appear on screen, a gravelly, almost-sinister voiceover fills us in on the background to this game.

We hear tales of the mysterious land of Etheria and the music competition which has the country’s ruling seat as its prize. So now the scene is set for you to get on board and support the guitar-wielding princess as she battles the dark knight for the throne.

Heavy Metal Princess is one of the games offered by PlayPearls slots online division, and it really does pack a musical punch. With a fun, unusual and compelling theme, the very average RTP rate of 95.06% is forgivable. In fact, with the engaging storyline and great soundtrack it is almost (dare we say it!) irrelevant.

So grab your headphones and your air guitar as we take a look at the details of this exciting online slot.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle - these are typical names that come to mind when we imagine what a typical princess is like, so this one may come as a bit of a shock. Shy, demure and dressed in a ball gown she isn’t. Think rock chick, wielding a huge guitar, with hair wilder than a caged lion!

She’s beautiful, a great guitarist and a determined woman. Which is just as well, as every hundred years a battle to decide who rules the kingdom of Etheria is held, and it’s due to be fought right now!

The secret weapon in the princess’s hand is her oversized guitar, which is actually a sword! Due to special powers it transforms on her touch, playing amazing riffs and helping defeat enemy dragons. Now you are invited to step into her world, where she stands right by the reels playing her guitar as you spin them.

All the graphics are amazing, and along with the princess you will see a drum kit, the dark knight and the standard playing card letters, which are nicely displayed on scrolls. Special symbol are the rock star WILD, the castle SCATTER, a dragon bonus and another featuring a duel between the two competing for the throne - the princess and the dark knight.

The guitar sound effects are powerful and effective, and they nicely complement the lower-key clicks and chimes the reels make during play.

The Return to Player (RTP) of this slot is 95.06%, while the volatility seems to be medium.

Heavy Metal Princess Bonus Features

This is a pretty generous slot, with two bonus options (dragon & duel) plus a WILD and some free spins, not forgetting the icing on the cake - the exciting mystery jackpot. If there were a mystery symbols opportunity, this slot really would have everything!

The Duel Bonus

It’s triggered by at least three of the duel bonus icons, and you’ll see the princess battle a bad guy, racking up cash for you with each small victory.

The Dragon Bonus

As usual you need between three and five matches on the same spin to have a crack at banking extra cash. You get six, seven or eight chances to pick a tune for the rock chick princess to perform for her dragon fan! Choose well, as each melody has a different value cash prize attached.

Free Spins

You can grab yourself some free spins when you land three or more castle scatters in any position on the reels. The minimum prize is ten free turns, but four scatters will double that number, and a full house of five trebles it.

Mystery Jackpot

This jackpot grows with every spin, which adds an extra something to the game, and as this can be triggered at any point during play it is always there on the table. The prize fund totals between 3000 and 5000 coins and will definitely be triggered before it expands beyond these parameters.

Our Verdict

It’s difficult to pinpoint a category which would describe this slot, so perhaps a medieval base with some futuristic influences is as close as we can get. Either way, it’s a really good slot to play, especially for music lovers. The strong story will capture your imagination and provide endless opportunities to join forces with a powerhouse princess and defeat the bad guys. If you'd like to play another futuristic slot starring feisty women, check out the Heavy Metal Warriors slot.
