Legend of Terra Slot Machine
Arriving directly from the NeoGames development studio comes Legend of Terra, a game that looks as though it came straight out of one of the many Lord of the Rings appendices. The game is certainly a feast for the eyes – the presentation at first glance is extremely rich and detailed, almost overwhelmingly so.
Some of the artists at NeoGames are clearly Lord of the Rings fans, as the quality and level of detail present here is breathtaking to say the very least. If the effort put into the presentation is any indication, we imagine the gameplay must be really great as well. With that said, does the gameplay of Legend of Terra really hold a candle to its majestic appearance?
High Fantasy at its Finest
When you think of high fantasy, what do you picture? Elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons, and a land that vaguely looks like medieval Europe maybe? JRR Tolkien practically invented the genre of high fantasy, taking all of the various tropes and combining them into one iconic genre that still persists in pop culture today. Lord of the Rings has influenced nearly every major fantasy franchise since then – if you’ve ever played D&D you no doubt know this already. Legend of Terra shamelessly utilises these influences to create a high fantasy slots game that looks like it takes place right in the heart of Middle Earth.
Visually Legend of Terra is hands down one of the best-looking video slots games we have ever seen. The entire game looks lush, well-lit, and highly detailed. The characters and visual scenery clearly draw from Tolkien influences, sometimes veering dangerously close to copyright infringement-levels of similarity.
All of the staples of the genre can be seen here, including trolls, dragons, elves, dwarves, and a single ring that looks suspiciously like a certain ring Gollum would like. But anyways, the game’s animations looks equally great, and when the reels are spinning various humorous animations play, like a dragon spewing fire at the bloated fat troll on the right side of the screen.
The interface is located on the bottom of the screen, and it was not spared a piece of the VFX budget – it too looks as though it meshes perfectly with the background and foreground in place.
Where Beauty Meets Brawn
Technically speaking this game also proves to a strong performer. Legend of Terra utilises a standard 5x3 reel system, along with 20 paylines. Coin denominations range from 0.1 to 10 coins a spin, with one coin per payline allowed. The bottom-left button lets you change the coin denomination, and the adjacent buttons allow you to change the number of paylines currently active.
The centre button lets you spin the reels, the center-right button lets you automatically max out the bet, and the right-most button lets you access the pay table, along with the help/info screens. There are wild and scatter symbols in play, so make use of them! Unfortunately the game doesn’t offer free spins, which may come as a but of a disappointment to some players.
One Jackpot to Rule them All
Legend of Terra offers no progressive jackpot, but it offers just about everything else. For one, it offers a 10,000-coin jackpot. On top of that, there is a winnings multiplier in play (activated when the wild symbol completes a winning line), as well as the aforementioned wild and scatter symbols.
There is also a simple bonus game available, activated when you get at least three scatter symbols anywhere on your active paylines. The game simply consists of picking objects at random with the goal of getting as many multipliers as you can manage. Once you get a stop symbol the game ends, and your multipliers are added up to give you your final win amount.
The Legend Lives On!
Legend of Terra deserves a high rating on the basis of its stunning visual design alone. This game looks like it could have come straight out of a high-budget fantasy movie, considering how polished everything looks. The gameplay is solid if a bit basic, but it still contains a host of features and that will appeal to a broad range of players.
The high maximum coin value allows for large bets, and the bonus game and 10,000-coin jackpot gives you the chance to make even bigger wins possible. Legend of Terra is one of the most stunning video slots games out there, and NeoGames should be commended for the effort put into the game’s design. If nothing else, check out this game for its design alone.
