“Our team sought a completely different approach to the style that our games usually have because the Xtreme factor called for it, and it was a very interesting challenge,” says Klewerton Bortoli, lead artist at Caleta Gaming.
“We are always looking for new techniques and new visual styles for Caleta games and this time, we brought a completely different approach, but without losing the essence of what made Viking Madness 2020 so cool,” he reinforces.
Absolutely all elements of the 2020 game have changed and new animation and sound effects have been created especially for Viking Madness Xtreme, which represents the evolution of the market over the last four years.
One of the main concerns during development was the soundtrack and sound effects. Viking Madness Xtreme needed a powerful soundtrack that matched the background and strength of the characters, and at this point, Caleta Gaming delved deep and managed to convey, in every small effect, the expected atmosphere of a game with a Viking theme. The new game is multiplatform (desktop, mobile, and tablet).
"We needed a sound that fit with the new look of the game, more serious and realistic. It was a lot of fun to look for all these elements that captured the essence of what we would like to convey to our player, and the result was incredible,” says Fabrízio Freitas, chief data & product officer.
Viking Madness Xtreme brings a new RTP of 97.73% and very high volatility, and there are three fun forms of bonuses.
Battle of Giants
Randomly, the Battle of Giants feature can be activated. When the feature is activated, 2 random warriors appear on the screen to battle. All reels 3, 4 and 5 are filled with the symbols of the winner of this battle.
Frozen Wilds
You can only access the Frozen Wilds bonus by purchasing it from the Buy-Feature menu. 5 spins are awarded when the bonus starts. Every time a Wild symbol appears on the screen, it is frozen in that position until the end of the bonus.
Ragnarok
Landing 3 or more Ragnarok symbols will grant a Ragnarok bonus. At the start of the bonus, a multiplier will be ranked between 2x, 5x or 10x, to multiply all wins during the bonus. On each bonus round, 2 Prison symbols will appear somewhere on the reels. When a prison (cage) lands in front of a warrior, that warrior is captured. There is no limit to how many rounds can be played. The bonus ends when Ulf, Rurik, Helga and Freya are captured (caged). However, landing 3 or more “Go Berserk” symbols will free all warriors.
There is no need to wait for randomness to get one of these bonuses, as they are accessible through the Buy Feature mechanic.
