Whenever I do talks on slot design I always suggest avoiding games this complex because people rarely pay to learn a game. I think the fact your video is 20 minutes long proves this game is probably way to complex and aimed more at social players than cash players.
That said if people can play for free first they may learn the game but I think this game is too complex for its own good.
Will be interesting to see how it performs...

It's not that complex when you've played it a while.
A brief summary would be:
Level up when you have covered all the underlaid rune-pattern tiles with winning combos.
All levels have one God like Thor, Odin, Freya and Heimdall with their own random in-play action on any losing spin.
Any level-up enables the wheel of Valhalla which will be populated with any of the 5 different-coloured rune stones collected plus 5 blanks and awards a mini-pot if landing on one.
20 tiles - plus on one spin will award one of the 4 'Charges' which may or may not help you.
40-tiles plus triggers the Ragnarok game in which all 4 Charges will activate one at a time, each one occurring when no further wins have appeared on the last one. These wins will fill a multiplier wheel which will multiply the grand total after Ragnarok's 4 Charges have done their bit from 2-15x.
After Ragnarok you may well have cleared another pattern as above, so may also get the wheel of Valhalla spin afterwards before being paid your grand total.
That's about it. The graphics and artwork and effects are quite fantastic on it. It shows what shysters like Microgaming should be doing instead of regurgitating old shite.
Agreed... And in depth games with social elements do work. IGT have done a game where you had to cover patterns and was branded Trigger Tiles in retail. It mainly flopped because once people had made a pattern they couldn't be bothered to play on to try and get the next one. Couple this with the fact that cascading games rarely work well any more (that ship sailed a long time ago) that they may well have created a turley just as much as they may well have created a good game.
However I trust your reviews and if you like it I'll certainly give it a go!
I like slots to remain simple, preferably of the 20- or- under- lines variety and with a fixed multiplier during the old bonus rounds, I'm boring like that.
So despite their greater creative output over the likes of Netent and especially Microgaming, I'm af-raider it's a "Norse-Sir-ee" from me
