Theme – help Thor to retrieve Gungnir

With a Norse mythology theme, the Thunderstruck Stormchaser slot is the latest chapter of the legendary Thunderstruck slots saga. The 5^th in the series, the lost World Stones have been re-tethered to Yggdrasil and the connections of those realms to the World Tree have been restored.

Thor returns to the Ragnarok battlefield to retrieve Gungnir, his father’s sacred spear, before he ascends the golden throne of Asgard. Thor will face many challenges in this new chapter including an enigmatic figure for his past. He will battle Thyra, the Goddess of WildStorms who can summon WildStorms in both the base game and free spins. Pronounced TEE-rah, Thrya is the feminine form of the God of War.

Set in Ragnarok, the graphics and visuals are superb. In terms of the soundtrack, click on the Music Note icon to choose which track to play. Symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals which all appear on runes and have a Norse font. The higher value symbols include Ragnarok, Yggdrasil (tree), Asgard and Hlidskjalf (Odin’s magical throne). Finally, there are black ravens and Thyra.

Thunderstruck Stormchaser Mobile

Released on the 1^st of November 2022 using HTML5 technology, Thunderstruck Stormchaser is available to play on laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices. It’s compatible with iOS, Android and Windows operated smartphones. The 5×4 layout works well on any device you opt for.

Thunderstruck Stormchaser Bonus Features

The Thunderstruck Stormchaser slot comes with 5 bonus features. With Rolling Reels, win multipliers and Wildstorm wild reels, the Free Spins feature sees you spin a wheel to win up to 25 free spins with a 12x starting multiplier. With more free spins to be won, Thor can randomly increase the multiplier.

Rolling Reels feature

The Rolling Reels feature is triggered on every win. Winning symbols are removed which makes ways for new symbols to roll in. This can award multiple consecutive wins and applies in both the base game and free spins. You can find this feature in many Games Global slots such as Immortal Romance.

Multiplier feature

Multiplier symbols can appear anywhere on the reels in both the base game and free spins. Basically, they award a win multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x and 20x. Known as the Multiplier feature, the sum of all multipliers that are part of a win is added and applied to the total win at the end of a spin.

Wildstorm feature

The Wildstorm feature can randomly be activated in the base game. 1 free spin is awarded with up to 5 guaranteed wild reels. Between 1 and 5 reels will display wilds fully.

Free Spins feature

Then you have the Free Spins feature which is triggered when you land 3 or more Thor’s hammer scatters anywhere on the reels. 3, 4 or 5 will award a 1, 5 or 25 x bet payout. Then you spin the wheel to win free spins and a starting multiplier value.

The size of the multipliers and how many free spins increases with the number of triggering scatters. Furthermore, Wildstorm tokens are randomly awarded before the feature begins. This table below highlights how many free spins and what starting multiplier value you’ll win from the wheel:

Once in, landing 3 or more Thor’s hammer scatters will give you an additional 5 free spins, with no limits. More importantly, Thor can randomly appear and power up multipliers by a random amount.

Look out for Wildstorm tokens which are collected when a scatter lands. Collecting 12 or more scatters will activate the Wildstorm feature at the end of the feature. You’ll get 1 free spin with up to 5 reels wild.

Finally, there is a Buy feature which is enabled when you click the button. Not available to UK players, 50 x your total bet will award 3, 4 or 5 scatters.

Thunderstruck Stormchaser Summary – a rather simple venture to Ragnarok

The Thunderstruck Stormchaser slot is graphically much better than its predecessors. The graphics/visuals as well as the multi-track soundtrack is a step-up for previous Thunderstruck slot games.

However, in terms of gameplay, it comes with Rolling Reels, Win Multipliers and the Wildstorm feature which we’ve seen before in previous releases. The Free Spins feature is a little different with the wheel award a number of starting free spins and win multiplier. You can begin with as many as 25 free spins with a 12x multiplier (when you trigger with 5 scatters).

It terms of payouts, Thunderstruck Stormchaser can pay up to 10,000 x your total bet per spin or free spin. With bigger wins coming from the win multiplier (both in the base game and free spins), this is higher than the max win per spin in Thunderstruck 2 or Thunderstruck Wild Lightning.

The latter offers 15,000 x bet payouts from the Thunderball Jackpots feature. The original Thunderstruck slot is still the most rewarding potentially with 30,000 x bet max wins. Thunderstruck 2 does come with a very high RTP rate of 96.65% which is significantly higher than Thunderstruck Stormchaser (96.1%). Here’s a table showcasing all the important details:

Slot	Reels	Paylines	RTP	Max Win
	5	9	96.1%	30,000 x bet
	5	243	96.65%	8,000 x bet
	5	40	96.1%	15,000 x bet
	5	243	93.38%	Progressive Jackpots
	5	1,024	96.1%	10,000 x bet

To summarise, the Thunderstruck Stormchaser slot looks great and has a multi-track soundtrack. The bonus features aren’t exactly innovative but it does offer decent win potential. I would have hoped for max wins of 50,000 x bet or higher to be honest.

If you want a candy/sweet themed version of this game, Games Global teamed up with provider Hammertime to release the Sugar Craze Bonanza slot. It has the same bonus features, same max win and RTP but very different visuals/soundtrack.
