Yggdrasil has clearly allowed themselves to be inspired by the movie franchise The Expendables, albeit in a far cuter expression. E-Force takes you to a bunny village that seems cute enough at first glance, but that’s until you spin the reels and land the equivalent of Rambo, Arnie, Bruce Lee, and Robocop as bunny action heroes. Any fox looking for a quick snack in this place is in for the surprise of his lifetime, that much we can assure you.
The village is called Easterville, and the action hero bunnies are certainly up for the task of protecting their precious easter eggs from the evil Dr Zeppelin. There are no base game features, and this is a surprisingly simple release from Yggdrasil. It revolves around the bonus round, which comes with up to 15 free spins and up to an x15 starting win multiplier. The multiplier increases from wilds and scatters, and you can win up to10,000x your stake.
The 4 premium symbols, which consist of bunny versions of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Bruce Lee, and John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone), pay between 4 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. TheRobocop Bunny Wild symbolcan appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, and it steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins.
Keep in mind that wild symbols also step in for scatter symbols in this game, and scatters can appear on reels 1 and 5 only. You need3+ scatters (or a combo of scatters and wilds)in view to trigger theBonus Round, and you get the same amount of free spins as the amount of triggering scatters. This means that you getbetween 3 and 15 free spins each time.
Thewin multiplieralso starts at the number equal to the number of triggering scatters/wilds, which means that it will startbetween x3 to x15.Each wild or scatterthat appears in the feature awards+1 extra spin, while also adding+1 to the win multiplier. The win multiplier boosts all wins, and it only keeps building with no upper limit for as long as the bonus round lasts.
TheBonus Buy menuis available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. You can pay50x your staketo get a random number of free spins between 3 and 9, and you get the same starting multiplier as the number of spins. If you can afford it, you can pay500x your stakefor 15 free spins with a starting win multiplier of x15.
You get a decent taste of the base game, with a few wins here and there, before we purchase the regular bonus round at 0:52 into the 5:24-minute highlights video. We got only 5 free spins, so we decided to buy the top-tier 15 free spins feature right after. It triggers at the 2-minute mark, and you can see for yourself how the “fox hunt” went by hitting the play button below.
Yggdrasil has come up with a clever theme that carries this game well on its broad action hero shoulders, and the base game would’ve been a tedious affair with a more standard theme. You don’t get all that many extras thrown into the mix while waiting to trigger the bonus round, but the rabbit world Yggdrasil has created will fascinate you (for a while at least). One thing is for sure, and that is that these bunnies know how to defend themselves.
We would not want to be the fox trying to snatch one of these cuties, something that becomes very evident when the bonus round triggers. They fortify the grid with an arsenal of machine guns, which is entertaining to watch, and you get the multiplier that keeps growing. We like that it has the same starting level as the number of triggering scatters, and the10,000x potentialis pretty solid as well. E-Force is an unusually simple release from Yggdrasil, but doesn’t give you that impression at first glance.
