Game Overview

Ah, the 80’s. What a time to be alive that was if you loved video games. I still remember parting with my pocket money in the local arcade, ready to jump into a world of pixelated chaos. The chunky graphics, the over-the-top characters, the headbands, and the muscles – it was all part of the fun. So, imagine my surprise when the Nolimit City Brute Force slot took me back to those glory days. The developer’s latest release, which, when you consider the core stats and fewer features than usual, might not look as exciting as others in recent months. However, never judge a book by its cover, as this 5×5 slot with 21 paylines, a 96.08% RTP, and 40,000x the stake maximum win certainly packs a punch.

Seriously, powering up Brute Force is like stepping into a retro time machine, complete with 8-bit nostalgia, massive weapons, and an unapologetic, in-your-face style that could make you feel like an arcade hero all over again. And true to Nolimit’s reputation, the game also features brutal gameplay, with xNudge Wilds with multipliers that increase with each nudge up to a maximum of 51x, and two free spins bonus rounds that’ll test your mettle as you aim for the high score of 40,000x.

Force is never required when it comes to convincing players to check out a new Nolimit City demo, and I expect most of our readers hadn’t even read this before they did. The Brute Force slot demo is down below, free-to-play, and can be played on any desktop or mobile device.

Theme, Stakes, Paylines & Symbols

Brute Force slot paytable

Retro Gaming is big business, as many people 40 and up grew up playing classic games from those days and are now trying to find ways to rediscover them. Whether that is through using emulators, buying new mini consoles offering the old classics, or buying refurbished gaming systems, people are parting with money for nostalgic purposes. Nolimit City isn’t the first studio to recognise the popularity of retro gaming, with studios like Hacksaw Gaming with Fist of Destruction, Thunderkick with Flame Busters, and Relax Gaming through its Hellcatraz release, previously doing similar.

Before you go down the rabbit hole of trying those retro gaming slots and any others you can find, stick with me on this one as I explain the symbol payouts and features. The slot’s gun-toting main characters are the premium symbols on Brute Force, with the Orange Guy worth a maximum return of 20x the stake, the Blue and Red characters, which pay up to 10x, and the Green and Yellow with top returns of 5x. Each of the lower paying symbols, the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten, all pay up to 2x for a winning connection of five.

We end this section with the betting structure, and Nolimit City has installed an impressive 25 staking options on Brute Force, ranging from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €100.00 per spin.

Base Game & Modifiers

Brute Force slot base game

The action on NLC’s latest release takes place across a 5-reel, 5-row, and 21-payline reel configuration. Wins are created when three or more matching symbols line up across those paylines from left to right.

xNudge Wilds

There are three different types of xNudge Wild on the reels of Brute Force, and each is 1×4 in size and, if landed partially in view, will always nudge to appear fully stacked on its reel. Each has a random multiplier attached that increases a set amount for each nudge required to get them on the reels:

Joshua xNudge Wild: Each nudge increases its win multiplier by 1x. This symbol has a capped maximum multiplier of 8x.
Jason xNudge Wild: Each nudge increases its win multiplier by 2x. This symbol has a capped maximum multiplier of 21x.
Hyper xNudge Wild: Each nudge increases its win multiplier by 5x. This symbol has a capped maximum multiplier of 51x.

Each multiplier value is collected into a total win multiplier and added together before it’s applied to any winning combination payouts on the current spin.

xBet Boosters

There are four xBet Booster bets to choose from, should they interest you:

For 4.7x the current stake, you can spin with an increased chance to trigger the free spins bonus games.
For 60x, each spin will guarantee at least one xNudge Wild.
333x guarantees at least two xNudge Wilds.
4,000x the current spin bet guarantees at least four xNudge Wilds.

Brute Force Slot Bonus Features

Brute Force slot free spins feature

If you land three scatter symbols anywhere in view, you’ll trigger the Brute Free Spins Bonus Game, while four get you the Super Brute Free Spins Bonus. You receive 10 spins for both. Take a look at what both offer below.

Free Spins Feature

Brute Free Spins: These spins are identical to those in the base game.
Super Brute Free Spins: The only difference for this bonus game is that xNudge Wilds have a chance of remaining sticky on the reels for the duration of the bonus.

Bonus Buy

You can purchase the free spins bonus games using the following buy bonus options:

Brute Spins costs 100x the current stake.
Super Brute Spins cost 800x.
A 50/50 chance to win one of the above costs 450x.

Pros

The retro 8-bit theme will strike a chord with players who remember classic video games from the 80s.
No over-complicated features—this slot gets straight to the point with its high variance and xNudge Wilds.
High max win of 40,000x

Cons

Compared to other Nolimit City slots, Brute Force lacks the depth and variety of features that some players expect.
Variable RTP models available to operators.

Brute Force Slot Review Final Thoughts

Brute Force is all about cutting to the chase. While many recent Nolimit City slots come packed with elaborate mechanics, modifiers, and complex features, you get straight to the action here. There's still that satisfying chunk of high-variance winning potential that fans of the provider love, but without the need to navigate through a maze of features.
