Troll Hunters 2 slot by Play'n Go is a sequel to the successful Norse mythology-themed slot from 2013.
Troll Hunters is a specialised slot machine thanks to its layout. We found the slot to be a medium to high variance, which means the wins won’t fall often on the reels and the bonus game is a tough one to get your hands on. While playing, the bonus didn’t trigger for us sadly, and we were playing a good hour at maximum stakes. Troll Hunters is an exciting video slot from Play’n GO software provider that will take you back into Norse mythology. The reels of this action packed slot are stacked with Viking warriors set out to defeat the mighty troll, a set of ear-rings, beer mugs, and a joint of meat to feed the hungry warriors after a day’s battle.

The aesthetic of part two is very close to the original but with more polished 3D artwork. In the heart of the story, we have three fearless hunters, Ylva, Borghild and Astrid, trying to protect their village from a vicious troll. The three mighty warriors are also HP symbols, while lower value symbols are a hammer, axe, horn, sword and a horn. The soundtrack is very majestic and works perfectly with the gameplay, adding to suspense and excitement.

Features
The action unfolds on the 5x5 grid, where the goal is to match three or more symbols horizontally or vertically. Lower paying symbols must match identically, but the character symbols can team up in any combo of three+ to score you a win. The winning symbols disappear from the grid, and those above them fall into their place. For every additional win during a round, the Multiplier raises by one. Once the round is over, the Drop Multiplier resets. Every time you match three of the symbols, a Standard Wild appears in their place.
Next to the reels, there is a Meter that fills up whenever match high paying symbols. Wins with 3, 4, or 5 HP symbols, fill up 1, 2, or 3 sections of the Meter. When filled, you get awarded with randomly placed Multiplier Wilds. The character besides the grid dictates the value of Wilds; Astrid will award Standard Wilds, Borghild x2 Multiplier Wilds, and dark-haired Ylva will grant x3 Multiplier Wilds.
Sheltered behind the symbols is the 'Bonus' row, and revealing it leads you straight to the Free Spins feature. You get to choose a Hunter to help, each one presenting a different combo of the number of free spins and Multiplier Wilds. In the FS round, filling the Meter awards a free Win Spin, where a 2x2 Troll Wild comes into play and randomly gets placed on the grid. Filling the Meter during the Win Spin will re-trigger the feature.
