Forbidden Fury (NowNow Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Forbidden Fury

I dropped into Forbidden Fury from NowNow Gaming, a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 1,024 ways and cascading wins. Stakes from 0.10 to 100 suit testing bets or longer grinds. The default RTP sits at 96.23% with a max win of 10,000x. High volatility means swingy sessions, yet the escalating multiplier gives every chain a lift. The core is the trio of Arcane Wilds that can spread, cover a reel, or persist for a spin, shaping the grid and feeding a meter between cascades.

The setting hits like a dark fantasy dungeon. A heroic warrior squares up to ghouls while symbols crash and respawn with each cascade. It plays fast, with chains carrying the flow and the meter carrying momentum. Free spins change the pace by holding the multiplier across spins, so a decent start can snowball. I had my best traction when the Red Wild stayed through several drops, then a late Blue or Green turned more tiles wild and nudged the meter higher.

Forbidden Fury Gameplay and Mechanics

Forbidden Fury runs on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways, so wins land on adjacent reels from the left. Each win triggers a cascade, removing winners and dropping new symbols. A global Total Multiplier sits above the grid and applies to the next cascade win. In the base game it resets to 1x at the start of each new spin, so momentum lives within the current sequence. Strings of hits are where the game stretches its legs.

The wild suite drives the show. Mystic Wilds substitute and land on reels 2, 3, and 4. Arcane Wilds arrive in three colours. Blue transforms 1 to 3 random regulars into Mystic Wilds. Green converts every other symbol on its reel into Mystic Wilds. Red is persistent for the entire spin and contributes to every subsequent cascade, with only one Red allowed per spin. When these align, the board can flood with wilds and set the meter up nicely.

Scatters trigger the Fortune Strike Bonus. Hit 3, 4, or 5 and you get 10, 15, or 20 free spins. In this round the Total Multiplier is persistent and keeps growing across spins as Arcane Wild multipliers are collected. Feature Buy options cut the wait. BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost 3x per spin. Arcane Wilds FeatureSpins cost 50x and guarantee at least one Arcane Wild. Pay 150x to buy straight into the bonus. The pace turns sharp fast.

Forbidden Fury Theme and Visuals

Forbidden Fury drops me into a classic fantasy cartoon face-off. A muscular hero grips a glowing sword before a skeletal skull set into dungeon stone, while the reels carry fierce monsters and magical icons. The palette leans dark and mystical, with deep blues and greens that sell the setting without blinding the eyes. Animations feel punchy during cascades, and the Arcane Wild effects read clearly, so it’s easy to track the board when the action starts to roll.

How To Play Forbidden Fury

Setting up Forbidden Fury is straightforward. Tap the up or down buttons to pick a stake from 0.10 to 100. Use Autoplay if you want a set run of spins, then press Stop when done. Hit Spin to start, or quick tap for rapid fire. The three-bar menu holds the paytable and rules, and the Feature Buy buttons sit to the side for instant access. I favour manual control when chasing cascades, then switch to buys when the balance allows.

Forbidden Fury RTP, Volatility, and Betting Range

RTP is listed at 96.23%, which sits around the market line. Volatility is high, so dry patches appear, yet the hit rate of 28.9% keeps the base ticking. Stakes run from 0.10 to 100 per spin, with a headline max win of 10,000x. The meter is the difference maker. When Arcane Wild values keep landing and feeding it, even small clusters can pay above their weight. When it cools, you wait for the next good chain.

The buy menu nudges the numbers slightly. BonusHunt FeatureSpins show 96.22% RTP. Arcane Wilds FeatureSpins lift it to 96.27%. Buying the bonus shows 96.32%. I liked stepping into the 50x mode during streaky runs, as the guaranteed Arcane Wild kept the meter active often enough to offset misses. The 150x buy is punchy, yet the persistent multiplier carries the load when it hits early. Bankroll swings are real, so I size down and build into spikes.

Forbidden Fury Slot Features

High-paying symbols are the Warrior and the trio of monsters in blue, green, and red. Five of a kind pay between 0.8x and 1.5x. Low-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A, paying 0.3x to 0.5x for five. Wins pay on adjacent reels from the left across 1,024 ways. After each win, paying icons vanish and new ones fall, so chains can land without a fresh spin. This keeps the paytable relevant during longer sequences.

The Wild symbol covers regulars and appears as a Mystic Wild on reels 2, 3, and 4, or as Arcane Wilds in blue, green, or red with special effects. Arcane Wilds can land with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 200x, or 500x. When a win uses one, its value adds to the Total Multiplier above the reels. Scatters are golden eagles. Land 3 or more to trigger free spins.

Final Verdict on Forbidden Fury

Forbidden Fury suits players who enjoy high-stakes chains and feature-forward play. The trio of Arcane Wilds and the Total Multiplier give the base game a real spine, while the Fortune Strike Bonus lifts the ceiling by keeping that meter alive across spins. It can be spiky and the bonus does not retrigger, yet the package holds up thanks to sharp maths, solid RTP, and a clean buy menu. When the setup aligns, 10,000x feels within reach.
