Temple of Torment Review

With the winged bird god, Ra, floating in the top-left corner, and a mean-looking Anubis crouched to the bottom right, the stage is set for an epic battle between the forces of light and darkness. This is a decent representation of the duality of Hacksaw, as it were, and Temple of Torment can thus be seen as a symbol of all their previous releases. Ironically, it’s a game that looks less like what you might be used to from this developer than most others we’ve seen, but the visuals are top notch nonetheless.

What we mean by that is that Temple of Torment looks pretty “ordinary”, and the features aren’t the height of innovation either. The Golden Scarab Wild can expand up or down, and it can also turn into an expanded multiplier wild if a regular wild is involved. You get more of the same in the bonus round, and the top-tier feature also comes with a global win multiplier that keeps building per activated scarab wild. The 10,000x potential is solid for a medium volatile game, and even “shelf-filler” releases from Hacksaw fly way above the swamp of mediocrity.

Temple of Torment Slot Features

The royal symbols pay between 5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind, which is decent, while the premium symbols pay between 15 and 30 x your stake for the same. Wild symbols step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and wilds also pay 40x your stake if you land 5 on a payline.

Golden Scarab Wild Symbols are a special kind of wild that can also appear on all reels, and they expand either upwards or downwards if that means a win is generated.

You can only land one golden scarab wild per reel at the same time. However, if the golden scarab wild expands through a regular wild symbol, it gets assigned with a random multiplier of x2 to x200. If you land a winning combination that involves more than one multiplier wild, the multiplier values are added together before boosting the win.

The Anguish of Anubis Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 Anubis FS symbols in view, and this gives you 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively. Both regular wilds and golden scarab wilds land more frequently during this bonus round compared to the base game. In addition, all regular wilds that appear become sticky for the duration of the bonus round.

The Reign of Ra Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 Ra FS scatters in sight, and this gives you 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively. Activated multiplier wilds add their assigned multiplier value to the global win multiplier in this feature, and it can be seen above the grid. The global win multiplier will boost all wins, and you get 2 or 3 extra spins from 2 or 3 Ra scatters in view, respectively.

The Buy Bonus menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If available, it come with the following options:

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins (RTP of 96.44 % and highly volatile) - pay 3x your stake per spin to be 5x more likely to trigger a bonus round.
• Scarab FeatureSpins (RTP of 96.25 % and highly volatile) - pay 50x your stake per spin to get at least 3 Golden Scarab Wilds per spin.
• Anguish of Anubis (RTP of 96.33 % and highly volatile) - pay 100x the stake to get this bonus round.
• Reign of Ra (RTP of 96.30 % and highly volatile) - pay 200x the stake to get this bonus round.

Review Summary

Temple of Torment is a fitting title for this game, as you will be tormented by the rather nasty howl Anubis lets out each time you land a golden scarab wild that expands downwards. The bird sounds coming from Ra are more pleasant in that regard, and this is a somewhat typical battle between the forces of “light" and “darkness” kind of game. It’s not the most eccentric release we’ve seen from Hacksaw either, and to be honest it was hard to tell it was their game at first glance.

Still, Temple of Torment is a solid release overall, with the golden scarab wilds that can turn into solid expanding multiplier wilds in all stages. Both bonus rounds have their merit, and more frequent scarab wilds combined with sticky regular wilds that turn them into multiplier wilds can be a deadly combo.

Pros

• Go through regular wild to get multiplier up to x200
• FS w/ sticky wilds and more golden scarab wilds
• FS w/ multiplier wilds added to global win multiplier
• Win up to 10,000x (1 in 16.5m spins hit rate)
• Expanding golden scarab wilds (up or down)

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
