Somewhat similar to the chain lightning feature in Gemix, the Thor feature strikes the grid with lightning creating up to nine wild symbols, but this time the positions don’t have to be arbitrarily linked from corner to corner, allowing for much more varied and potentially profitable configurations. It’s not the best of the bunch, but it is definitely better than the chain lightning.

Definitely the weakest of the four features here, but nowhere near as bad as the Crystal Warp – only four wilds are created in groups of two. The advantage here is that these four wilds tend to appear in spots where they are very beneficial to the player. Almost every time this feature activated for me, it would result in a win. Given, it was not usually a huge win, but it was a win nonetheless!

Possibly the best of the features, although the next one, Heimdall, can also be very profitable on some occasions. The light which Freya shines on the runes will continue creating wilds in clusters of four until a win occurs, so you are essentially hoping for the blocks of four to continue missing each other as long as possible in the hope that eventually three or four of them will line up with existing runes to create a huge win. I did see one big win from this feature during testing, and I can imagine it creating many more given a little more time!

The Heimdall feature adds a wild symbol to all seven rows of the play field. Unlike t he light beam feature from Gemix, these probably won’t appear in a vertical line, but you only need them to land close to each other for a big win to occur. 

Note that all four features in Viking Runecraft only appear on losing spins.

This works similarly to the world bonus in Gemix, except that you collect a set 12% of your previous winnings each time you finish a world or collect wins on all five of the low paying rune stones during a single world. This means you don’t necessarily have to finish a world to collect the bonus, although you will typically find it often ends up that way anyway.

Just a simple renaming of the supercharge feature from Gemix here, if you win on 40 runes during a single spin your winnings will be multiplied by 3x. 

Finally, just as in Gemix, each world features a different way for wilds to be randomly added to the screen at the end of any none-winning spin. Sometimes these will be blocks of wilds, others they will be sticky wilds, and so forth. The bonus wheel on the bottom left gave me some hope that things would be shaken up a little here compared to Gemix, but sadly the wheel is only used for the Runes Bonus feature… a missed opportunity, perhaps?

Whilst Viking Runecraft is undoubtedly a more “manly” version of Gemix, it somehow feels a little rushed compared to Play’N’Go’s previous effort. The light beam feature might have been unbelievably overpowered compared to the other modifiers, but at least hitting it was extremely exciting – the same cannot be said of anything on offer here. As a package, the four modifiers are definitely better, but none of them stand out in the same way as the light beam did. Strangely, it feels like that feature would have been better suited to a higher variance game such as this one. Overall? A bit of a rare miss for Play’N’Go, but I’m sure it will appeal to some players that Gemix does not.
