Totem Link

To date, Blue Guru Games has shown a tendency to bounce between far-out themes, encompassing such ideas as gods, myths, and aliens, to more grounded topics like fishing. Totem Link skirts the middle ground, exploring a mystical side of Native American culture while placing it in a down-to-earth scenario of mountains, plains, and physical animals you could touch. For the most part, it's quite enjoyable. It doesn't have the level of violence on display inLittle Bighornor the ripples of revenge inHuntress Wild Vengeance. Instead, Totem Link displays a more relaxed, peaceful side of the theme, preferring to commune with the spirits rather than shoot bears or remove scalps. When Totem Link does wind up, through its features, it does so in a way that is mostly familiar, with a few alterations on the sides. Full reel wilds in free spins, for example, are fairly common, but the artwork and animations spruce the effect up. Likewise, the Spinning Totem Game, a run-of-the-mill hold 'n win game largely, yet with tier upgrades potentially leading to bigger prizes or even Jackpots accessed in a different way than usual. Not exactly major innovations, and there are no non-Jackpot special symbols to look out for, which might flip a bonus round on its head. Yet, the novel bits are such that hold 'n win completists might be tempted in for a go. As for winning potential, the 5,000x Mega Jackpot would tend to be the focal point, though Totem Link did achieve a higher value of6,344x the betduring simulated game rounds. When the dust settled over the prairie, Totem Link supplied a satisfying series of events. It doesn't try to reinvent the hold 'n win wheel or do anything revolutionary during free spins, but it has been neatly put together and showcases an interesting interpretation of a side of Native American culture in an attractive way.
