The Holidays season is on the horizon, and this means that developers will churn out seasonal reskins like there is no tomorrow. Carol of the Elves happens to be based on a very popular game that has since been overshadowed by the even more impressive follow-up title. Anyway, you can place bets between 10p and £150 here, which is a solid bet range, and nothing has been altered from Valley of the Gods except the theme.
Visually, this is a bit below par from this developer, but seasonal reskins are hardly a high priority for studios due to the low shelf-life. The sentimental soundtrack will tug some heart strings for sure though. It’s a 2x nostalgia trip really, as you’re also experiencing the last gasps of a fading giant dressed up in a festive costume to keep it going. The gameplay is still highly entertaining of course, not least when you keep building the ever-growing multiplier for those lengthy thrill-ride winning streaks.
Each corner of the 5×5 grid has 3 blocked symbol positions, which means that 12 symbol positions are blocked in total. When you land a winning combo, magic orbs fly from the winning symbols and unblock the same amount of blocker tiles. The gives you a respin, and the process goes on as long as you keep winning.
All the blockers reset when you don’t win anymore, but the real fun starts when you manage to open up the whole grid. The magic orbs from the winning symbols will then be collected by either the green elf or the female red elf. The green elf increases the multiplier by +1 for each time you fill the meter, while the red elf gives you extra lives.
You need 5 winning symbol orbs to fill either of the meters, and an extra life is used up each time you land a non-winning spin. The blue orbs fill the multiplier meter which starts at 2x, and the red orbs fill the extra life meter. The feature goes on as long as you don’t run out of extra lives, and the longer it goes on the more you stand to win. Everything resets to the regular base game once you run out of lives.
If you’re curious to see how this all plays out, we’ve put together an edited highlights video of our 200 spins session for you. We managed to open up the grid 2 times, and especially the second time takes us on a thrill-ride that lasts for a while. Check it all out by smashing that play button!
The transition from ancient egyptian tombs to cozy Christmas elves works pretty well in this Holidays season reskin from Yggdrasil. It’s not all that surprising that they have chosen Valley of the Gods as the game to clone for some mistletoe action. It was a massive hit game after all, and unlocking those reel positions feels kind of similar to unwrapping a Christmas present.
The soundtrack could not be more nostalgic and sentimental, and players having trouble getting into the proper Christmas spirit might benefit from this title. Visually, it’s not exactly up there with the best work from Yggdrasil, but this is understandable for a seasonal game. If you like the original game, you now have an alternative for the festive season.
Pros
Cons
Valley Of The Gods- is the same game in all ways except for the theme, visuals and soundtrack. It was a massive hit game when it first came out, but the sequel has somewhat dethroned it. It’s still a game well worth checking out if you enjoy the game at hand.
Valley Of The Gods 2- comes with the same reel unblocking mechanics as the first game, but the reel set is different. Being a bit more volatile than the original title, you will also benefit from an above 6,000x potential here. What’s more, you now have wild reels to help keep your winning streaks going.
Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special- is the festive reskin of Quickspins award-winning and smash hit title. It’s all about getting that slender wolf to huff and puff the little piggies houses down. However, now he’s dressed like Santa, which makes him even more intimidating in our view.
