Yggdrasil has suited up and sharpened its sword to celebrate the release of its thrilling new slot, of Sabers and Monsters.

A new saga begins with this six-reel, 4,096 ways to win title, the latest combat-themed hit from Yggdrasil following the Vikings series sees a new band of heroes battle their way across the reels.

The popular and much-loved Wild Fight™ mechanic, seen in highly entertaining hits such as Vikings Go Berzerk, is returning once again to assist these four brave heroes on their mission to slay the monsters.

As the warriors skirt the reels, a meter is charged every time their symbol lands in a winning combination. If it becomes completely full, Ardent Respins are triggered. Each Respin triggers a Wild Fight™ feature, which will continue for as long as the warrior wins.

As players journey across the reels, three or more scatters will trigger the Free Spins mode. Here, random features such as the Ardent Symbol can be triggered, a high-paying symbol that has a 100% chance of winning its Wild Fight™, thus becoming a Sticky Wild. If a hero wins their battle, they remain as a Sticky Wild throughout the mode.

In addition, a raven feather can land on the sixth reel, awarding gifts from the Raven Mage such as free spins or cash rewards.

There are two types of Free Spins available, Regular and Tempest, both of which offer huge win potential of up to 18,350x.

In certain jurisdictions, players can also proceed directly to the Free Spins mode through the Bonus Buy feature.

Of Sabers and Monsters is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Of Sabers and Monsters brings our much loved ‘battle’ mechanic Wild Fight™ back to players and for the first time it features on a ways game, with a fantastic theme and huge win potential.

“With our brave Heroes fighting for riches and glory, we’ve sounded the trumpets and all are welcome to take up arms in this epic battle.”
