Developer launches sequel to its most successful slot to date promising an even more engaging and entertaining player experience

Fantasma Games is taking players on an incredible adventure in the second instalment of its blockbuster series, Heroes Hunt.

Heroes Hunt 2 Megaways sees players join three characters at the foot of a staircase located in an old castle where stone walls loom high above the ground.

Whispers can be heard from the shadows and there is a foul smell of decay in the air.

The archer puts an arrow to his bow, the wizard gathers her spells and the warrior draws his sword. There is no turning back now…

The player must lead the heroes through the castle to defeat the evil presence and claim the treasure for themselves. Each character is unlockable and delivers its own bonus feature.

The archer shoots a Respin feature where each Respin symbol removes itself and four to nine random non-winning regular or blocker symbols. New symbols then fall to create win opportunities.

The feature also awards a Multiplier to the base game round if it is activated in the base game or to one Free Spin if it is awarded during the Vampire Free Spins round.

The witch conjures an Explosion feature whereby all Explosion symbols erupt and remove themselves, non-winning regular and block symbols in one or two 2×2 areas adjacent to the Explosion symbol or one 3×3 area around the Explosion symbol.

After the explosion, one random regular symbol is selected and is spawned at all of the exploded positions. Boom!

The warrior draws an Expanding Wild feature where each Expanding Wild symbols grows to cover the entire reel, removing all symbols above or below it.

Each Expanding Wild symbol also spawns one Wild symbol and places it at one random position. After all Expanding Wild symbols expand, each gets a random Multiplier of between x2 and x6.

The bonuses do not stop there with two different Free Spins available to help players on their quest – Vampire Free Spins and Werewolf Free Spins.

Players have the option to buy both the Vampire Free Spins and Werewolf Free Spins bonuses in the markets where operators are permitted to offer this feature.

This, combined with the Megaways mechanic and the game’s high volatility, ensures a fun and thrilling player experience with every spin.

Fredrik Johansson, Commercial Director at Fantasma Games, said: “Heroes Hunt is our most popular game launch of all time, so a lot of work has gone in to Heroes Hunt 2 to ensure it takes the player experience to the next level.

“To do this, we spoke to operators, streamers, affiliates and players to learn how we could make the game even better and have then incorporated these improvements into the game.

“The result is a highly animated, narrative led game that delivers high levels of entertainment to players while also building big win anticipation with every spin.

“This really is an incredible slot and we can’t wait to see it land in operator game lobbies and for players to start their own adventure as they seek to defeat evil and find treasures of their own.”
