Bushido Code

Over here we have quite a peculiar little beast of an online video slot. We really haven’t seen that many games based around Bushido, the ancient Japanese code of honor and ideals which define the samurai way of life.

Even though the idea may come off as a little weird and quirky, it actually works well. After spending quite some time fiddling around with the game, we’ve grown quite fond of it, so we decided to share all our impressions with you.

Read on to find you why Bushido Code really is worthy of your time and attention!

Theme

As you’d probably expect, such an illustrious era can really be depicted rather nicely and the good folks at GameArt really did a good job conveying the atmosphere of ancient Japan and the mysterious warriors from the period.

It is one of those slots we consider an eye candy, as it sometimes just enough to sit there and admire the wondrous design.

As red and gold dominate the screen, the reels are placed on a billboard with so many intricate little details and patterns, and positioned against the background which gradually fades from black at the bottom, to the deep red towards the pot, finished off by a serene view of a small village…

When we’re talking symbols featured, there isn’t anything unconventional with the lower value ones - you get the usual batch of poker symbols.

This graphics powerhouse really shines when you take a look at the higher value symbols as these include a shurikens, crossbows, and mighty swords.

Scatter comes in the form of a Bushido helmet, while a young, determined warrior serves as the wild. It goes without saying that all the sound effects are top shelf and they complement the overall zen atmosphere quite well.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Before you swing your sword and take a leap into your own samurai adventure, let us first show you how the game actually works.

It’s quite simple, so you have 20 fixed pay-lines over five reels. Of course, the bets range can also be adjusted from 0.01 to 0.50, so the maximum bet during each spin amounts to 10.00.

Another nice feature is the auto play button, which allows you to avoid the redundant act of constantly clicking away on your spin button.

Features

What would an Akira Kurosawa inspired video slot would be without any appropriate bonus games?

Landing three or more scatters anywhere on the screen will trigger another game in which you are transferred to another screen with Tori gates. Picking a gate provides you with a randomly chosen number of free spins!

But that’s not nearly all:

Next up is yet another screen where you need to choose between different weapons to be given a random multiplier for the wins you score during the free spins.

Besides this, you can always choose to gamble each and ever win in the game by playing a card guessing game which might potentially multiply your wins.

Our Take on Bushido Code

Bushido Code is a fun and entertaining game, especially if you’re a fan of Japan and its rich culture. It looks magnificent and it has excellent bonus features to keep you glued to your chair for many hours.
