Secrets Of The Sorcerer Review

iSoftBet takes you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with this Pixel art release called Secrets Of The Sorcerer. The retro 8-bit audiovisuals are nicely done, and players old enough to remember a childhood filled with Commodore 64, Amiga and Nintendo will probably feel a certain tug at the heartstrings. You need to be the same age as this reviewer to get that appeal however, and we’re unsure what millennials will think of this release.

The reels are set in a medieval castle, with dragons, elixirs and the wizard himself figuring on the reels as premium symbols. These pay between 5x and 8x your stake for 5-oak, and the base game dishes out random prizes (or the bonus round) when you least expect it. A lot is decided up front however, as you’ll need to be lucky with the symbol-to-wild transformation to stand a chance at cracking the 6,714x potential.

Secrets Of The Sorcerer Slot Features

The Secrets Uncovered feature will trigger at random times in the base game, and this awards either a larger payout, or it triggers the bonus round. Landing only 2 scatters charges the Bonus Chance meter seen on the left-hand side, and each ‘near-miss’ increases the green segment a little bit.

You can click this meter to spin the Bonus Wheel at any time, and it will cost you 1x your stake. You win the bonus round if you land on the green segment, but if you land on red the meter resets to 0 % again.

The Bonus Round is triggered organically when you land 3 scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. You will then choose between 3 potions in the high tower of the castle, and this gives you a random number of free spins. A random number of symbols can also be revealed after your number of spins are determined, and these will serve as golden wild symbols during the feature.

You will collect potion symbols during the bonus round, and you need to collect 3 to win +2 extra spins. The wizard can appear at random times, and this means that you win a larger payout. On rare occasions the potions can explode to reveal wild multipliers of x2, x3 or x5.

The 200 Spins Secrets Of The Sorcerer Slot Experience

We had a couple of ‘near-miss’ bonus meter fillers up front, but then we finally triggered the bonus round at 0:51 into the 3-minute highlights video. We got 2 of the top-tier symbols as golden wilds, and the mid-level feather turned into a x3 golden wild. Hit the play button below to see for yourself how we fared.

Review Summary

Visually, it’s hard to go wrong with 8-bits graphics, as many players will feel the nostalgia from their Nintendo youth. There is something about this game that reminds us of the old King’s Quest saga from Sierra, and we also love the 8-bit soundtrack and sound effects. So far, so good, in other words, but the gameplay itself, and the features, is another question entirely.

The base game is barebones except for the randomly triggered Secrets Uncovered feature, and it’s a bit lame that you don’t know how big the random prize you can win actually is. The bonus round is decent enough, and especially if you get some wild multiplier action going, but it’s hardly anything special. The 6,714x potential is solid for a medium volatile game, but we’re unsure if the nostalgic appeal is enough for players to return to this game.

Pros

• Random Secrets Uncovered prize
• Near-miss bonus wheel charger
• FS w/ random wilds or multiplier wilds
• Win up to 6,714x your stake

Cons

• Mediocre vibe beneath the nostalgic appeal
