These Nuns Eschew Forgiveness in Favor of Some Dynamic Action
NetEnt’s Nunchucks focuses on four nun characters as they defend their parish from Asian mobsters. The game bears clear inspiration from kung-fu movies, featuring imagery of martial arts and Asian weapons disguised as religious items.
A catchy soundtrack, available on Spotify, plays in the background, ensuring a dynamic and enjoyable experience. Symbols in the game include the titular nuns, the Asian mobster Sinpin, who is trying to rob the parish, and various thematic items, such as crosses, communion boxes, cross-decorated grenades, cross-shaped shuriken, and, of course, pairs of nunchakus.
The four nuns are not just for show, as each one has a special power that enhances the gameplay. The Colossal Nun, for example, is a brawny Mystery Symbol that can grow from 2×2 to 4×4 before transforming into regular paying symbols or even Giant Wilds.
The Wild Reel Nun is a loose cannon who loves explosions. As her favorite grenade explodes, the entire reel’s symbols turn into Wild ones, providing players with easy ways to hit the paylines. If the Colossal Nun Mystery Symbol overlaps a Wild Reel, it turns into the aforementioned Giant Wild, adding some extra weight to the spin.
The Multiplier Nun balances the team with her collected and calculated presence. Her multiplier powers award multipliers to one or more reels. These multipliers apply to all wins across affected reels, resulting in some powerful combinations.
The Upgrade Nun serves as the head of the parish and one of the most powerful symbols in the game. As a commanding presence, she enhances previously activated Nun Features. Under her guidance, Colossal Mystery Symbols grow larger, up to three additional Wild Reels can be generated, and the number of reels with active multipliers can double.
Nun symbols can randomly activate a respin that keeps their modifier active.
Sinpin Arrives Once Free Spins Mode Starts
Nunchucks’ Bonus and Super Bonus Symbols are represented by Sinpin, the aforementioned Asian mobster who is seeking to steal the money from the parish’s communion boxes. Once a combination of three or more Bonus symbols lands, Sinpin will try to extort the nuns for money, only to quickly find himself outmatched.
Depending on how many Bonus or Super Bonus symbols were collected, the round can start with 8, 10, 12, or 14 spins. During either bonus, Nun Features can trigger respins that keep their feature active and do not count toward the total number of spins.
Super Bonus Spins intensify the action even further, keeping Nun Features active for the entirety of the feature, allowing for some supercharged wins.
Players who wish to jump straight into the action can use the Elevate Features option to immediately enhance their gameplay or trigger the bonus.
