Review
Delve into Greek mythology to witness the ultimate Artemis vs Medusa battle on the slot from Quickspin. The mighty goddess of the hunt is coming face to face with the monstrous Gorgon, minotaurs, harpies and griffons for a high-volatility reel brawl with Monster Bounties and an Unlimited Free Spins feature that can lead to wins of up to 5,286 times your bet.
The game is now available exclusively at Rizk Casino for two weeks and will be released globally on 11th August 2020.
Slot Details
Artemis vs Medusa is a 5×4 video slot with 1,024 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to five matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. You can witness the legendary fight on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.17%.
Mount Olympus, the home of Greek divinities, is in the background of a stone-framed game window with two eternal warriors standing guard on either side. In the free spins, the scenery will see you ascend a battlefield floating on top of the fabled mountain while an epic soundtrack carries the gameplay.
The pay symbols start at the low end with six diamond-shaped gems in blue, turquoise, green, purple, yellow and red colours, awarding 1x to 2x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by a harpy, a gryphon, a minotaur, Medusa and ultimately Artemis. Hit five across the reels to win 2.5x to 25x your stake. A golden Antler icon is the wild, substituting for all regular play symbols while Artemis’ bow and arrow act as the scatter.
Artemis vs Medusa Slot Features
Having two of the mightiest female characters in Greek mythology clash on a reel set virtually demands a suspenseful and action-packed gameplay. The creative team at Quickspin obliged and added a range of features that will climax in an epic battle for reel supremacy once you enter the free spins feature.
During the base game, any of the harpy, gryphon, minotaur and Medusa symbols can appear marked with a Monster Bounty Coin in the bottom right corner of the symbol. Should you land in the same spin a gold-framed Artemis symbol on reel five, then all coins in view will be collected. Each has a value associated based on the rank in the paytable – harpy 2x bet, gryphon 4x, minotaur 8x and Medusa 15x bet. Each coin awards the respective cash prize which will be accumulated in the display on top of the reels.
Hitting scatters anywhere on reels two, three and four in one spin will trigger the Unlimited Battle Free Spins. The round has no set number of spins and will end only once Artemis or Medusa is defeated. A battle arena with a meter appears on top of the reels. The four monsters are placed on the right side while Artemis takes position on the left on a pedestal with her bow at the ready.
The round begins with any potential wins being paid as they happen on a free spin. Any time you land an Artemis symbol, all monster symbols in view are added to the meter, e.g. 1 harpy, 3 gryphons, 2 minotaurs and 1 Medusa will fill the meter by a total of 7 bars. Artemis will shoot and eliminate the lowest-valued monster, removing the associated bars from the meter and awarding a cash prize according to the Monster Bounty table. Defeating Medusa will get you an extra cash prize while exceeding 15 bars on the meter will see Artemis retreating. In both cases, the feature will conclude and the total win is paid before the game returns to the default screen.
Final Verdict
Epic battle or lukewarm reel brawl? I would be tempted to trend towards the former. Artemis vs Medusa is an intense slot with a fitting soundtrack and elaborate animations. The gameplay contains sufficient features that will keep you interested, although the win potential in the base game is medium at best. It all hinges on the bonus round where defeating Medusa will almost guarantee a mega win. The max achieved in billions of simulation spins was 5,286 times bet. Not epic, but good enough for most players.
