Shields of the Wild
Where Nextgen's slots used to be disappointing in terms of graphics, Nextgen seems to have finally solved that problem. This Shields of the Wild also just looks really good, with a theme that revolves around a battlefield, the marching soldiers and lots of arrows flying overhead. We were quite impressed with slots such as Polterheist, Kingdom's Edge and especially The Wild 3.

Shields of the Wild has one of the nicest designs of any game NextGen has ever created, in our opinion. Playing with a feature that is highly exciting is unexpectedly interesting, and the possibility of a random retrigger at the end gives the flesh extra flavour.
NextGeners are simply masters at producing big hits! Our expectations for their games are normally very high, and they never fail to exceed them! Once more, excellent work!
Shields of The Wild, Nextgen's newest crown jewel, is a wonderful game in my opinion. It offers a very cheap minimum wager of just $10 and fascinating additional features like shield attact and free spins that guarantee a win. I believe it's an excellent game to use your bonus funds on as well because it pays out surprisingly frequently.
I did not expect such a weak slot from nextgen. Guys usually spend a lot of effort on creating graphics and animations, but in this case, some kind of hack is felt ... Seriously, they could do it many times better, because the payouts of the game are normal, the bonus game is also interesting, but the visual component let us down ... You can play, but not for long, otherwise your eyes hurt...

Shields of the Wild is a video slot from Nextgen, which ended 2018 with a number of quite strong releases.
The big question is of course: is Shields of the Wild a bit of a nice video slot?
The answer is: yes. With an emphasis on a little fun. It hasn't become a blast, but it certainly has some original game elements in it.
Shields of the Wild is a video slot with a simple setup. There are 10 fixed paylines and the playing field consists of 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols.
You can play from 0.10 euros per spin and that goes up to 100 euros per spin.
The theoretical payout percentage is a bit disappointing: 95.57%. As far as we're concerned, the Nextgen can add a percentage on top.
The variance of Shields of the Wild is low. The maximum payout in the bonus feature is 250 x the total bet. So you can spend a lot of time with your money on this slot, but it will not make you rich.
Symbols and Payouts
In terms of symbols, it is shields that count: all symbols (except the scatters) consist of shields. Although they are beautifully designed, it does create a somewhat cluttered impression. Sometimes it is quite difficult to see where winning combinations have arisen, also because many shields are almost the same color.
The wild symbol is worth the most and will give you 250 coins at 5 on an active line.
The highest paying shield is the one with the lion on it. This shield pays out 100 coins for a 5-of-a-kind.
Other premium shields have a bear, monkey, or sheep on them. These are worth between 50 and 75 coins for a 5-of-a-kind.
Then there are 4 low shields: these pay out between 20 and 40 coins with 5 of the same on 1 of the 10 paylines.
Shield Wall Feature
The Shield Wall Feature is a random mini feature that you can only win in the base game. Arrows are fired at the shields, increasing the value of each shield to a higher value. This makes the winning combinations more valuable.
This process can be repeated up to 8 times. Ultimately, you hope to end up with as many wild symbols as possible, where the highest possible payout is.
Marching Stacks Feature
The Marching Stacks Feature is the main bonus feature of this video slot.
This bonus feature is activated if you manage to spin 3 or more scattered swords.
You get 5 free spins and with every spin you get an extra reel with the same stacked symbols. You start with 1 full reel of stacked symbols on the right side of the reels and work your way to the left.
You always end up with a full screen with the same symbols.
The more scatters that trigger the bonus, the higher the special symbol. In addition, you can get extra upgrades by getting new scatters.
You are guaranteed to win at least 20 x the total bet. Earning multiple upgrades can add up to 250 x the total bet. Then you must have saved up a full screen with stacked wilds.
Sometimes you get an extra Marching Stacks Feature at the end of the bonus feature and then the whole party starts all over again.
Shields of the Wild Screenshots
This slot machine looks quite nice and has original bonus features.
The variance is just way too low for us: it's almost impossible to win big on this slot.
The payout percentage of less than 96% is also not really startling.
The slots from Nextgen are always fairly popular at online casinos and this Shields of the Wild will also get quite a bit of play in the beginning. However, it is not a video slot that will go down in the books as a classic.
