Kensei Blades review

Theme and Storyline

Kensei Blades has a fantasy anime theme.

Players will be transported to an ethereal forest filled with emblems and medieval magic. With the help of an iconic knight and a tough-looking enchantress, they’ll head out on a quest.

Kensei Blades is a good pick for fans of anime and those interested in multi-player role-playing games.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The ambient sounds of birds will make Kensei Blades players feel like they are wandering through an otherworldly forest. A delicate soundtrack of whistling notes adds a sense of mysticism to the atmosphere.

On the reels, players will find glowing crystal stars, hearts, and moons as well as golden suns, swords, and mysterious characters. The style of the animation has a classic anime look that fans will recognize and enjoy.

On one side of the reels, a young knight in ornate armour stares out, his hand on his sword. On the other side of the reels, a young pink-haired enchantress is poised, holding her magical staff firmly.

Beyond the reels, players will see an idyllic world of greenery and a blue sky that makes heading out on a quest tempting.

The soundtrack and graphics combine to create a dreamy anime fantasy.

Gameplay

Kensei Blades has a 3-4-5-4-3 reel structure.

Wins are awarded to players for landing matching reels in any positions on adjacent reels from left to right and from right to left.

Only the longest combination of symbols is paid out on a given spin.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbols and the Free Spin symbols. The Wild symbol only lands on reels 2, 3, and 4.

If players land a Free Spin symbol on every reel, the Free Spins feature begins and a prize is awarded. Every time players land a combination of 5 Free Spins symbols across the reels, they are awarded 8 free spins.

In total players can be awarded as many as 96 free spins in a given win. Including possible retriggers, the total number of free spins in one game round is capped at 240.

When players land at least 3 Scatter symbols, they are awarded a win of x2 their total bet. Landing 4 Scatters awards x10 their bet, and landing 5 Scatters awards x50 their bet.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player of this game is 95.12%, below our yardstick for average of roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€1.00 up to a maximum of $/£/€50.00 per spin.

With medium volatility, Kensei Blades is a less ideal match for our preferred slot machine strategies. Our slot strategies target the highest possible volatility.

Conclusion

We do not recommend this low RTP, medium volatility anime fantasy slot.

Though the theme and animation are aesthetically pleasing, Kensei Blades offers an RTP that is simply too low to merit a strong recommendation.

Mathematically minded players will also likely remain unmoved by Kensei Blades’s moderate volatility.

Some enthusiastic anime fantasy fans may enjoy stopping by Kensei Blades, but they’d do well to move on to slots that can offer them a more favorable RTP.
