Tsar Wars Slot Review

Tsar Wars Slot Overview

Tsar Wars is a casino slot from Nolimit City, inviting players on an intergalactic journey in a galaxy far far aw... East, where mocking humor and ridiculing innuendos go hand-in-hand with dynamic cluster-based gameplay. This time, the studio aligns its roasting crosshairs not only with a popular space movie franchise but also picks on famous former Russian leaders like Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin, plus throws in a German philosopher Karl Marx for good measure. Normally, a bizarre mix like that would be more than enough to form an intriguing setting in the usual twisted NLC way. It's not all, though, because the game also cleverly imitates mechanics from one competitor's hit release, making it a multi-layered, brazen parody.

Do 3 features generating Wilds and transforming symbols on the grid, additionally combined in a single powerful spin after filling up a meter sound familiar? How about a win multiplier that increases after every cascade alongside them? If you've been around the online slot block a few times, you undoubtedly recognize the format, but let's not blow the bubble just yet. We'll only say that each of those elements is significantly elevated in Tsar Wars, plus there's a bunch of new stuff to use during the quest for the ma(r)x win of 19,775x the bet. May the force be with yo... us!

Tsar Wars is a video slot from Nolimit City with 6 reels, 6 rows, and a cluster-based win system requiring at least 5 matching symbols to form a cluster by being horizontally and/or vertically adjacent. Players can select multiple stake options starting from a Min.bet of 0.20 up to a Max.bet of 100. The game's default RTP is 96.05%, with several lower variants of 95.09%, 94.10%, and 92.05% also released. Players will experience high volatility combined with a max win of 19,775x the bet. Such a win is achievable with a probability of 1 in 400M-909M spins, depending on the free spins mode, while the bonus round triggers at a rate of 1 in 255 spins.

Bringing peace to the galaxy is not an easy task, even if you're part of an elite, well-armed, and skilled squad, so it's best to take a bunch of helpful features along to make the journey easier. The features of Tsar Wars are Cascading & Multiplier, Big Symbols, Trapped Wild, Character Features, Destruction Spin, Revolution Spins, Tsar Side Spins, Nolimit Booster, and Feature Buy.

Tsar Wars Slot Information

Now that we've made it into the ranks of the capable yet slightly unconventional crew, it's time to board its famous vessel, Century Eagle, in which we'll traverse the universe. Our goal is to reach the evil ruler's hideout to start a full-blown rebellion that will reverberate through the galaxies for centuries to come. We take a seat aboard the spaceship and face an intricate console in the middle window of the bridge. This is where we'll build our arsenal to strike a powerful blow to the regime. On the left, we'll collect points of the Destruction Spin meter to grow ever more powerful while the right side will show the current hero on duty. The main screen will dish out payouts whenever at least 5 matching symbols combine into a cluster by landing horizontally and/or vertically adjacent. It's possible to join the intergalactic quest from any modern device, whether it's a desktop, a smartphone, or a tablet.

Symbols in the paytable are split into two categories. The low-value group includes round plates with emblems representing a raised fist, a sickle, a hammer, and a crown, awarding from 2.5x to 5x the bet for clusters containing 15 or more instances. The high-paying symbols are the three leading characters, Princess Leianin, Han Stalin, and Marx Skytalker, rewarding players with payouts from 10x to 50x the bet for matching at least 15 symbols in a set. Alongside the regular symbols, there are Wilds, xBomb Wilds, and a Tsar Side Bonus Symbol.

Tsar Wars Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Tsar Wars?

You can win up to 19,775x the bet.

What features are available in the slot Tsar Wars?

The features are Cascading & Multiplier, Big Symbols, Trapped Wild, Character Features, Destruction Spin, Revolution Spins, Tsar Side Spins, Nolimit Booster, and Feature Buy.

Cascading & Multiplier

Each winning cluster begins a new cascading sequence. Paying combinations get removed from the grid, causing the remaining symbols to drop down and the new ones to come in and complete the view. Additionally, every cascade increases the global win multiplier by x1. Cascading continues until no more new wins occur.

Big Symbols

Regular symbols may land in 3 variants: 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3. Whenever there are empty spaces underneath the Big Symbol, they are filled with matching singular instances of that symbol.

Trapped Wild

Regular symbols may land with a special blue highlight, indicating the Trapped Wild hidden inside them. When they become a part of a winning cluster or an xBomb Wild affects them, the Wild is released and kept on the grid for the next cascade.

Character Features

There are 3 characters in the game, who can trigger their respective powers randomly on any spin. The active character is always shown on a small tracker attached to the right side of the grid. After one feature is used, the meter jumps to the next one in line.

Wild Rush = transforms 2-5 regular symbols into Wilds.

Force Shift = transforms 1-3 sets of regular symbols into another type.

xBomb Wild = transforms 1-3 regular symbols into xBomb Wilds that explode and destroy symbols around them once all wins have been calculated for the current cascade, also causing the multiplier to grow by x1.

Destruction Spin

On the left side of the grid, another meter tracks winning symbols. Whenever 25 are collected within the same spin, a Destruction Spin will be triggered. During that round, each of the Character Features is guaranteed to trigger at least once.

Revolution Spins

Filling up the meter again during Destruction Spin activates Revolution Spins. Players can choose between 3 game modes, each starting with the multiplier set to x15. Every mode comes with one of the Character Features that is guaranteed to trigger at least once on every free spin while the remaining features can also trigger randomly. Players get 5, 6, or 7 free spins for Wild Rush, Force Shift, or xBomb Wild mode, respectively. Filling the meter with 30 winning symbols during the bonus round awards 2 additional spins and doubles the current win multiplier.

Tsar Side Spins

Landing a Tsar Side Bonus symbol and filling the meter during the Destruction Spin activates 6 Tsar Side Spins. During the game, all 3 Character Features are guaranteed to trigger at least once on every spin. Filling the meter with 30 winning symbols during the bonus round awards 2 additional spins and doubles the current win multiplier.

Nolimit Booster

Players can use several options to gain an additional advantage on their spins for an increased base bet.

5x = a guaranteed random Character Feature: Wild Rush, Force Shift, or xBomb Wild.

12x = guaranteed 2 random Character Features: Wild Rush, Force Shift, or xBomb Wild.

30x = a guaranteed trigger of the Destruction Spin.

60x = a guaranteed at least 1 Trapped Wild symbol in the 2x2 or 3x3 size.

Feature Buy

Tsar Wars also offers several options for triggering features instantly.

100x = Revolution Spins.

500x = Tsar Side Spins.

300x = Lucky Draw with a 50/50 chance for either bonus.

Tsar Wars Slot Conclusion

Well, Comrades, is the situation clearer now? Can you feel the magical influence of Moon Princess by Play'n GO in this genius satire of a slot? If you sometimes get the feeling that Nolimit City may have reached its levels of bold creativity, the studio pulls a game like Tsar Wars out of its sleeve to prove all disbelievers wrong. It's difficult to even start imagining where the idea to mix so many elements in such an unusual way came from. Star Wars lore combined with famous 19th and 20th century leaders and philosophers acting like anime princesses with their exaggerated action poses, plus that title... That's one deranged combination. It impresses not only with the involved ideas but also with a flawless aesthetic execution. The entire setting has that genuine 70s-80s movie vibe you can see in the first installments of George Lucas' saga but spruced up with a ton of modern embellishments to give it a proper high-end slot machine feel. Cover that with a positively mind-bending soundtrack (especially during bonuses) and it's a package that's hard to resist.

Now, let's switch over to the technical side, as there's much to explore there, too. Duh... Nolimit is not exactly famous for cluster-based slots but they pulled that one off without a hitch. Cascading while collecting winning symbols is not a mystery to the creators since we've seen a perfect example of that in Blood & Shadow and its sequel, so core elements have already been covered before. Three random features unmistakably point to a deliberate tease in the Play'n GO direction, although their powers have been slightly increased here, plus the addition of one of the x-features couldn't be missed. The similarities continue in the form of a Destruction Spin that imitates the Trinity mechanism and three bonus modes, each with one of the characters taking center stage, just like Love, Star, and Storm in Moon Princess. Tsar Side Spins bonus takes all that to the next level, offering pretty much a series of Destruction Spins to push the win potential far and beyond, up to the max prize of 19,775x the bet. Altogether, it's a massively elaborate config that keeps you constantly engaged.

Tsar Wars is a creative and humorous mockery feast involving a massive amount of ingenious ideas both on the audiovisual and mechanical side.
