Release the Kraken Megaways review

Theme and Style

The latest installment of the aquatic-themed slot, Release the Kraken Megaways, follows on from the original Release the Kraken, but it has a different oceanic setting.

Taking place on board a ship, players will team up with a variety of creatures and uncover what Kraken is hiding.

While the scenery for this title is more unusual than its predecessor, this slot has been given an impressive makeover. This adds to the immersive nature of it.

Visuals and Soundtrack

Release the Kraken Megaways has a rather soothing soundtrack that feels a bit stripped back on the drama scale.

Rather than having a thunderous tune associated with movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, the soundtrack is much softer and there is a special chime players will hear when they strike up a win.

That aside, the graphics are sharp and eye-catching. On the reels, the ship takes precedence, and players will see sharks and other fish, while the waves crash gently in the background.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack help create an authentic atmosphere for this title.
