Viking Runecraft Apocalypse Overview

Back in 2017 Play’n Go released a game called Viking Runecaft. A grid game that was an instant hit.

Now 6 years later this title received a follow-up called Viking Runecraft Apocalypse. Using a lot of the same mechanisms and bonuses, but all a bit different and maybe even upgraded.

The game uses a grid of 7 by 7 symbols and any combination of 5 or more of the same symbols in a cluster, count as a winning combination. Symbols in a cluster need to be connected vertically and/or horizontally.

This slot game also comes with cascading symbols. Meaning that winning combinations are removed from the grid and all symbols fall down, new symbols then fall on top creating the option for another win.

Besides all normal symbols there are also wild symbols, names Spirit Wilds, which only appear when winning combinations are removed. There are no scatter or bonus symbols.

Viking Runecraft Apocalypse comes with a maximum payout of 10.000 times your bet and is a medium to high volatile slot game.
