Nolimit City has introduced its latest game, Blood & Shadow 2, inviting players to delve once again into the dark and eerie void. The storyline revolves around Shadow Girl, who is immersed in dark rituals in her relentless pursuit of eternal youth.
This game adds to the array of sequels released by Nolimit City this year, such as Fire in the Hole 2, Punk Rocker 2, and San Quentin 2. In this latest installment, players are faced with even higher stakes as Shadow Girl introduces a new and terrifying force.
Sequel of terror
Blood & Shadow 2 continues the narrative from its predecessor, Blood & Shadow, offering players a range of new features designed to keep them engaged and thrilled. The base game includes elements such as the locked bottom row and the Ritual Bar, where players can discover mystical powers.
xSplit® feature
The xSplit® feature intensifies the gameplay by splitting symbols in various directions using the Dagger xSplit and Guillotine xSplit, potentially reaching a symbol size of 32x. The bottom locked row is filled with Wild Symbols, which are gradually unlocked as players progress through different levels. The Ritual Bar consists of 5 levels that players can advance by landing scatter symbols and winning combinations, leading to the conversion of low-paying symbols into higher-paying ones.
Bonus features
Advancing through the levels of the Ritual Bar unlocks additional features, such as Candle spins and Reign of Terror spins. During Reign of Terror spins, a sticky wild symbol can land on any reel, remaining sticky until it forms part of a winning combination. Halifax Gibbet spins, which commence at level 3, award players with Candle spins, while Reign of Terror spins are activated upon unlocking all levels of the Ritual Bar.
In Reign of Terror spins, the reel area expands to 5×5, and landing scatter symbols grants additional spins. The game incorporates xBet® to increase the likelihood of triggering Reign of Terror spins and offers xSplit rewards at level 5 with a Dagger and Guillotine xSplit.
Blood & Shadow 2 presents a maximum payout of 16,161x the base bet and is classified as “Extremely Volatile”, aligning with Nolimit City’s reputation for producing highly volatile yet rewarding online slot games. The game’s dark and suspenseful theme, combined with its innovative features, promises an immersive and dark gaming experience for players seeking excitement and potential rewards.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said:
Shadow Girl has come a long way over this past year, so much so we had to bring her back into the light!
We’ve taken what players know and love from Blood & Shadow and added some new features that we think players will enjoy. The addition of xSplit in the base game and that bottom locked row, really gets the blood pumping!”
Review Overview
Summary
Blood & Shadow II slot has a Gothic to arcane theme with symbols of darkness and noises of doom emanating from its sinister crypt setting. Symbols can be stacked on the 5 reels of 4 rows with 1024-ways, although there are 5 lower spaces in a ritual bar which may be opened up to make it 3125-ways and 5 of-a-kinds pay 5x wild down to 0.15x for the lowest rune. You progressively unlock the ritual bar's 5 levels by getting points for medium and high symbol wins and scatters, each level reached removes low-paying ones and replaces high for medium. Each level awards 2 candle spins and during these wilds become sticky until used in a win. You get the NLC xSplit symbols here too which double positions either horizontally or vertically downwards. The main bonuses come from level 4 and 5 where 80 points is required. Halifax Gibbet spins for 4 replace 3 low and medium symbols with high ones, Reign of Terror for level 5 also awards 6 spins but the reel area is increased to 5x5 with only high paying symbols, wilds and scatters. A terrifying maximum win of 16161x bet is achievable here.
