Conan Video Slot

The Conan franchise - originally a work of literary pulp fiction that later evolved into a series of successful movies, Conan from NetEnt is a video slot reworking of this modern classic from the highlands of Hyboria. Part celtic legend, part modern myth, Conan slot is a game that’s mercilessly good fun to play.

With underworld murmurings and an abundance of shoulder muscles, Conan is a slot with enough brawn to seriously disrupt a quiet night in. If you’re looking for a sedate, chilled-out gaming experience, Conan it ain’t.

Design

Set among the craggy mountain range of a celtic-looking landscape, the legend of Conan is a tale of witchcraft, mortality and honour.

Much like our hero himself, Conan is a good-looking slot. Symbols are attentively illustrated, lovingly framed and neatly designed to render perfectly across both mobile, tablet and desktop. Here's a shining example of striking the right balance between detail and iconography.

With muddy tones highlighted by the fleeting spots of colourful animated win sequences, Conan is a slot with a discerning colour palette that defies its double-digit IQ image.

Top-of-the-game visuals are complemented by an immaculately designed soundtrack; this audio wouldn't sound out of place blasting on a high-quality movie theatre-grade sound system. All foreboding drumbeats and sinister sounding horns, the audiotrack here is minimal and lends itself well to the sinewy, stripped-back style of Conan.

With some pretty sweet animations to keep players on their toes, this isn’t a lacklustre effort by NetEnt to cash in on an already bankable franchise, it’s a slot that makes the grid its own, and then some.

Gameplay

The first thing that players who enjoy NetEnt games on the reg notice is that the Conan grid is big. While accommodating a 6x4 base game frame, there’s no room for the usual visual background fluff that supports other titles.

Great for players who enjoy a touch of mobile gaming, the grid fits comfortably into smartphone monitor sizes while the 24 fixed paylines won’t overwhelm players on mobile.

High paying symbols for 6 on any given payline look like this:

• Conan - 6x
• Thoth-Amon - 5.5x
• Valeria - 5x
• Combat helmet - 3.5x
• Sword - 3x
• Grappling hook - 2.5x

While special symbols for 6 on any payline pay this:

• Gold coin - 1.5x
• Silver coin - 1.2x
• Bronze coin - 1x

Conan slot’s Thoth-Amon feature sees our protagonist go on a multiplication rampage - all overflowing machismo and barbaric testosterone. The explosive sword swipe animations as Conan lunges at the grid add to the muscle and mayhem of Conan.

Win Potential

High volatility 96.01% RTP Conan comes fully loaded with a maximum win exposure of 2016x. Maximum and minimum bets are set at 0.20 and 200 respectively. Multipliers stretch up to 7x, giving players even more reason to square up to Conan.

Our Verdict

Whether you were a fan of the original Conan movies or are coming to the Conan Slot afresh, there’s plenty on offer to keep you entertained. Packed full of features and a lovingly-created base game, the high volatility mechanic ensures that players have both enough gaming dynamic to get their teeth stuck into, with biceps to spare.

Not only a visceral visual outing, Conan succeeds in fulfilling the desirable balance between gameplay, visuals and audio, creating a title that’s as satisfying to play as it is gorgeous to marvel at. If you like your slots to be strapping but with something going on upstairs, Conan is your perfect gaming companion.

Similar to Conan and his 6ft-in-his-socks stature, here’s a game that stands head and shoulders above other slots in the genre.
