Thunderstruck II Slots Review

The Thunderstruck II slots game is the long-awaited sequel to the hugely popular Thunderstruck game from leading developer Microgaming. The aim of this sequel was to remain loyal to the original Thunderstruck theme and style, but at the same time to take things to a whole new level. Well, we’ve played the game and we can tell you that it succeeds on both counts. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that Thunderstruck II provides one of the most stunning online slots gaming experiences currently available, and if you read on we’ll tell you why…

The first thing that will blow you away when you launch Thunderstruck II is the opening video, which is around one minute in length and sets the scene as well as introducing you to the main characters: Valkyrie, Loki, Odin and Thor. If you have played the original Thunderstruck online slots game then you already will be familiar with these characters, but it is nice to see them take centre stage once again.

The original Thunderstruck was incredibly good looking, but Thunderstruck II is a real work of art. The graphics have been hand-painted, giving a textural depth that other types of artwork simply can’t compete with. Then there’s the fact that the Thunderstruck II slots game has been specifically designed to look good at a higher screen resolution, so you can play at up to 1024 x 768 without sacrificing the quality one iota. Put it all together and Thunderstruck II provides a veritable feast for the eyes.

As any movie buff will tell you, what you hear is almost as important as what you see on screen as far as experiencing a sense of immersion is concerned, and Thunderstruck II delivers just as much in audio terms as it does in visuals. The atmospheric soundtrack used in the game is perfectly suited to the theme of Norse mythology, and encompasses a range of moods that really do suck you into the world that Thunderstruck II portrays.

As for the game itself, Thunderstruck II impresses on every front. The machine has five reels and gives you 243 ways to win. Symbols include the playing card suits 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, the four characters mentioned earlier, the Hammer of Thor, the Thunderstruck II logo and more.

The Thunderstruck II logo is a substitute, so it can stand in for any symbol except the Hammer. When this substitute symbol helps you to complete or improve a winning line then the prize for that line is doubled.

A Wildstorm feature can be triggered at random and when triggered will make up to five reels wild, making it possible to win some spectacular prizes.

The Hammer symbol plays a central role in Thunderstruck II, and if you get 3, 4 or 5 Hammer symbols on the reels you will gain entry to The Great Hall of Spins. This awards you free spins from your first visit and repeated visits to The Great Hall of Spins unlock bigger and better bonuses.

Each character in Thunderstruck II can help you trigger different bonuses (depending on your previous visits to The Great Hall of Spins) and we therefore recommend that you click the View Pays button on the home screen and take a good look at the pay tables so that you can see exactly what’s in store.

We could continue this already lengthy Thunderstruck II slots review by going into even more detail, but we will resist the urge to do that and instead encourage you to explore the game for yourself. The more you play Thunderstruck II, the more features you will unlock, and if the luck of Odin is on your side you could win up to 2.4 million coins!

Thunderstruck II can be played at a number of online casinos powered by Microgaming software, including 32Red Casino and Ladbrokes Casino.
