Sword Of Shoguns review
Thunderkick frames Sword Of Shoguns as a test of worth. An ancient weapon, handed down through generations, waits for the next great Shogun, and to earn it you duel expanding symbols, wilds and a bonus game with free spins. The studio's page is brief and does not publish a rulebook, so this review rests on those named features and on the numbers, which are clear: a Very high volatility rating and a ceiling of 25,200x the bet.
What the studio confirms
Three ingredients are named. Expanding symbols and wilds are the features of the main game, and a Bonus Game with free spins is the third. The studio describes the bonus as sharp edged.
Nothing more is stated in the text we hold. There is no trigger count for the free spins, no list of multipliers and no grid size, so we do not describe them. If you want the details, the official free demo is the quickest way to see how the expanding symbols behave.
The return and what it costs
Only one RTP is recorded: 96.15%. That is a house edge of 3.85%, or about $38.50 lost for every $1,000 wagered over a long run.
For shorter sessions, 100 spins at $0.20 cost about $0.77 on average, 100 spins at $1 about $3.85 and 100 spins at $5 about $19.25. Those are averages. With Very high volatility, an individual session can end far above or far below them.
A 25,200x ceiling in dollars
The max win is 25,200 times the bet. At a $0.20 stake that is $5,040, at $1 it is $25,200 and at $5 it is $126,000. These are limits, not targets, and a Very high rating is a warning that reaching anywhere near them is rare.
Our catalogue has no hit frequency or release year for this game, so we say nothing about how often it pays.
Games with a similar profile
Six slots with similar numbers all carry the Very high rating and large ceilings. Riders of the Storm lists 96.14% and 26,426x, Bones and Bounty 96.16% and 25,000x, and Lost City of the Djinn 96.07% and 25,000x. Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle shows 96% and 25,000x, Beat the Beast: Griffin's Gold - Reborn 96.14% and 22,222x, and Odin's Gamble - Reborn 96.15% and 19,333x.
With returns so close, the real choice is theme and mechanics. Sword Of Shoguns offers a samurai setting, and its top win is the second highest in this group.
Pros
- 25,200x max win, listed in our catalogue
- Expanding symbols, wilds and a free spins bonus game
- 96.15% RTP
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Very high volatility means long dry spells are normal
- The studio text names features but gives no trigger or spin counts
- No hit frequency or release year in our catalogue
Verdict
Sword Of Shoguns is a high-ceiling slot with a short public description. The 96.15% RTP sits in line with the six similar games listed, the Very high volatility is the main risk, and the 3.85% house edge is what the game costs on average. Treat the 25,200x as an outer limit, and use the free demo to learn the expanding symbols before you stake anything.
