The saga continues in Yggdrasil’s Vikings Go Berzerk, where I found myself battling sinister sirens alongside a battle-worn Viking crew. This title is the follow-up to Vikings Go Wild and it features equally eye-popping visuals with malicious mermaids instead of sea monsters, but surprises with a thrilling new set of features. With up to $400k to play for from a single spin, there’s no time like the present to get your sea legs ready.

The spin, Autoplay and betting controls are visible in the wooden bar beneath the reels. If you want to adjust the spin speed or check out the paytable, you will have to expand the menu using the circular pink icon in the bottom left of the screen.
The game’s Viking characters are lined up at the bottom of the screen, ready to spring into action when you meet the requirements.
Treasure Chests
Treasure chests and golden treasure chest symbols randomly appear on the reels, revealing 5 rewards that are then shuffled and placed face-down. You will have to choose one of them to claim a reward.
The treasure chests award prizes of 2x to 40x your bet, or 7 to 21 free spins. The golden chest could give you wins worth 10x to 400x your bet, 7 to 21 free spins, Ragnarök free spins, or a Rage Boost.
During free spins, the treasure chests can award 2x to 40x your bet, 2-4 extra free spins, a sticky wild reel, or 1-2 extra sticky wilds. The golden chests can generate prizes worth 10x to 400x your bet, 2-4 free spins, a sticky wild reel, or 2 extra sticky wilds.
Free Spins
To access the powerful free spins feature, you will need 3, 4, or 5 scatters for 7, 14, or 21 free spins, respectively. A bonus reel will spin to enhance your bonus round with one of 5 modifiers. You could get a wild reel, up to 3 free spins, a sticky wild, up to 5 extra treasure chests, or Ragnarök free spins where all Vikings are berzerk.
During free spins, any Viking symbol that lands will have a battle with a Siren. If it wins, it will transform into a sticky wild for the remainder of the feature. Vikings that go Berserk always win battles against the Siren and become sticky wilds until the feature ends.
Rage Meters
The 4 Viking characters under the reels each have a rage meter. When you land winning combinations with the Viking symbols, the corresponding meter’s level will increase. One of the Vikings will have a half-filled rage meter when you start the game and the more you fill the meters the bigger wins you will get. When a meter is filled you will be awarded 7 free spins and the triggering Viking will be in berserker mode.
Vikings Go Berzerk is essential playing for anyone who loves feature-packed slots with cinematic-level themes. I was awestruck by the game’s opening sequence that set the scene for the battle at sea I was about to leap into. There are a whole bunch of features to trigger, and the game does a great job of building anticipation, particularly with the Rage Meters. $400 000 is an impressive top prize and a cherry on top for an exceedingly well-made game. For more adventure on the waves, sail over to Boom Pirates or Moby Dick.
