Crystal Golem Review

With Print Studios’ Book of Destiny debut release fresh in mind, it’s nice to see that the budding developer has broken free from any obvious source of inspiration in their second effort. Crystal Golem comes across as somewhat of a pet project, where the studio’s innovative flair shines as bright as the crystals in the cave you’ll enter as the game loads.

The line win multiplier system - called SuperSpinners™ - awards random multiplier values that can do serious damage in all stages of the game. This certainly keeps the base game interesting, although the game tends to dwell a bit too long on even smaller wins. The bonus round comes with a Golem Wild that evolves (both visually and functionally) via the SuperSpinner system, and this is a solid effort from a promising young developer.

Crystal Golem Slot Features

The greenish Golem Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete winning combos, and it’s also the highest value symbol in the game. Landing 5-oak on a payline awards 50x your stake, while the regular premiums pay between 2.5 and 20 x your stake for the same.

The Cascading Wins mechanic destroys all winning tiles, and new and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, awarding indefinite extra wins per spin.

You will notice small diamond-shaped objects that appear in the dividing lines between reels. These are called SuperSpinners, and the active ones come with a random number. If a SuperSpinner is involved in a win, the number is applied as a multiplier. If more than one active SuperSpinner is involved in the same win, the respective multipliers multiply with each other up to x400 at the most.

You need 3, 4 or 5 glowing crystal scatters anywhere in view to trigger the Evolution Spins bonus round. This awards 8, 12 or 16 free spins, respectively, and you will now see that some of the SuperSpinners have a green flame attached. If a Golem Wild lands next to such a Charged Spinner, it evolves 1 of 2 tiers above being a simple regular wild. The wild evolution works as follows:

• Stage 0 - a regular wild that substitutes for any regular pay symbol.
• Stage 1 - the wild remains in play once after being used in a win.
• Stage 2 - the wild will now remain in play for 2 wins.

The reel itself is upgraded along with the wild symbol, so all new wilds that land are of the same tier as the reel they land on. If you manage to upgrade all reels to Stage 1, you win +4 extra free spins. The same happens if you manage to fully upgrade all 5 reels to Stage 2.

Non-UK players, and anyone in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the bonus buy option. This will set you back 100x your stake, and you are then guaranteed at least 3 scatters on the spin that follows. Buying the feature gives you an increased RTP of 96.99 %.

Review Summary

We like the confidence Print Studios has shown from the get-go, taking on the ‘Book of’ genre in their debut, and following up with a neat and innovative effort in their next release. Crystal Golem looks nice with all the glowing mushrooms, and the SuperSpinner multipliers system works very well to spice up all stages of the gameplay.

A combined x400 multiplier can spike up a single line 5-oak wild win to a highly respectable 20,000x payout, so cracking the very solid 20,758x potential can literally happen at any time. The evolving wild system in the bonus round is not only innovative, it also adds a sense of purpose and progress when you play. Overall, this is a strong release across the board, and we’re looking forward to seeing what this studio comes up with next.

If you love Crystal Golem Slot you should also try:

Raptor Doublemax - comes with a somewhat similar luminescent and trippy visual presentation, and this Yggdrasil release is all about multiplier action as well. Each drop down (cascading) win doubles the win multiplier, and generates a wild. The unlimited multiplier does not reset in the bonus round, and you can win up to 20,000x your stake.

Shimmering Woods - is a Play’n Go release that offers somewhat similar visuals, and the number of payways varies per spin via the splitting symbol mechanic that also expands the grid. All symbols can split in the bonus round, and you can win up to 25,000x your stake.

Crystal Quest Frostlands - is a Thunderkick installment in their volatile Crystal Quest saga, and it comes with 6 reels and 4,096 win ways. You can look forward to 3x3 mega symbols, and a bonus round with exploding wilds and a progressive win multiplier that can award payouts up to 15,000x your stake.
