Conclusion

Fortress Charge slot by Microgaming and Crazy Tooth Studios captures the imagination with its novel gameplay but can be a challenging experience. Crazy Tooth Studios are well known for producing exciting, oddball concepts and this is no exception. The side-scrolling adventure action seems strange at first but is quite easy to grow accustomed to and once you do, you will realize how exciting the prospect of getting your hero all the way across to the fortress can be. The visuals are bold and rendered in perfect pc-game style with quirky animations.

The lack of special features means that all your time will be spent hoping you land heroes as this is your only possible way to win. The game's high volatility can present a challenge here as the likelihood of landing a hero and getting them all the way across to the fortress without being thwarted by a villain can feel extremely slim at times. Any potential frustration aside, this slot's uniqueness makes it extremely engaging and intensely satisfying once you attain the prize at the end of the reels.
