Game Overview
I like to think of myself as more of a lover than a fighter, but I’m only human, and most days, I’ll be unfortunate enough to encounter the odd imbecile who is thoroughly deserving of a good old knuckle sandwich. As satisfying as it would be to deliver one, that’s rarely the sensible choice. Fortunately, Hacksaw Games has provided us with an outlet to help keep our rage confined to the reels through their latest release. It’s called Fist of Destruction, and it’s a high volatility, five-reel, four-row slot with a potential maximum win of 10,000x and an RTP of 96.30%.
When initially opening the game, I was immediately struck by the brilliant cartoon graphics, reminiscent of the style used in a console beat ‘em up. This experience is enhanced further through the ability to select your preferred fighter, resulting in a switch of visuals but having no effect on the gameplay. The 5×4 grid that the combat occurs on features just 14 paylines and no cascading reels element, but there is one significant addition that overrides this simplicity, and it really packs a punch. That feature is the fist symbol, which can land on any reel and turn all symbols above it wild. If it moves through an enemy fighter symbol or a wild, it will adopt a multiplier value that can rise to a height of x200. These fists really come to life in the two variants of the free spins feature, where there is an increased chance they will land and a real possibility of seeing several wild multiplier reels activate during the same spin.
During the bonus round, it’s possible to activate an Epic Drop, which guarantees that between three to five fist symbols will land on the grid. Things can really kick off when this happens; it’s poetry in motion, like a prime Mike Tyson landing a devastating combo. Experience it for yourself on the Fist of Destruction demo slot, which is available below and completely free to play!
Fist Of Destruction Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
As evidenced in the title I’m reviewing today, Hacksaw Gaming has consistently proved itself to be a master of the wild symbol, constantly conjuring up innovative uses for it. Another recent release from them that features some imaginative wild use is Beam Boys, which sees crazy cats firing laser beam wilds from right to left across row positions. However, if it’s combat action that you’re here for, then No Limit slots are what you’re looking for, and The Cage could be right up your street as you head into the octagon and battle it out for the 25,000x maximum win in its brutal underground fight club. That’s the initial couple of rounds wrapped up, but so far, we’ve just been taking it slowly and sizing up the opposition. We’ll be upping the ante now and hoping to land a knockout blow as we fight harder into the features of Fist of Destruction.
Over at the paytable, we can see that there are three challengers for the championship belt for highest value symbol in the form of the wild, blue-corner Bandana-Wearing Fighter, and red-corner Blonde-Haired Fighter, which will all return 10x the total bet for each line of five. Below these are the blue-corner Female Fighter and the red-corner Brown-Haired Fighter, which are both worth 5x. Finally, it’s the non-premium symbols, the A, K, Q, J, and 10, which will all pay 2x per line of five.
Last but not least in this section of the review, it’s time to analyse how the stake options weigh in on Fist of Destruction. There are plenty to choose from, starting from a low of €0.10 and rising to a high of €100.00, with many well-placed options in between. With so many to pick from, there’s sure to be an appropriate bet for all players.
Fist Of Destruction Slot Base Game
As we head into the game mechanics section, I can tell you that the action takes place on a 5×4 grid across 14 fixed paylines. Matching at least three corresponding symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel, will result in a win. The cascading reels mechanism is not used, so all symbols will remain in position even if involved in a win. Plus, as usual with most slots, the wild symbol will substitute for any paytable symbol in a win line.
Fist Symbol Wild Reels
The fist symbol can land in any grid position, but only one can land on each reel during any single spin. It comes in two colours, red and blue, which represent the two fight teams featured in the game. Once one lands on a reel, it will ‘punch’ upwards from its position, turning the position it landed in, plus any in the same reel above it, wild.
If this movement passes through either a wild or fighter pay symbol from the opposing colour team, these wilds will take on a random multiplier value of either x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50, x100, or x200. If it passes through multiple wilds or opposing team pay symbols, then each one of those will add a multiplier, which will be summed together and displayed as the total multiplier value for that wild, or part wild, reel.
Any line wins that pass through a fist wild will have its multiplier value applied to them to produce the total win value, and if they pass through more than one fist wild reel, their multipliers will be added together and applied to the win.
Fist Of Destruction Slot Bonus Features
There are two bonus rounds to get stuck into in Fist of Destruction, so let’s break these down to find out what they are and see if they come out swinging.
Throwdown Bonus
Landing three FS scatter symbols on the screen during a single spin will trigger the Throwdown Bonus. During this feature, landing 2 more scatters in the same spin will award +2 free spins, whilst landing 3 or more will award +4. A bar with three increments is displayed above the reels, and each fist symbol that punches through a wild or opposing team symbol will add one part to the relevant team’s bar.
Once it is filled, the Epic Drop feature is triggered, which guarantees a spin where between three and five fist symbols will land. The number of these symbols that will land depends on the current Victory Level, which begins at level three and will increase by +1 each time the bar is filled. Full details below:
- Victory Level 3: At least 3 fist symbols of the winning team’s colour are guaranteed to land in the Epic Drop.
- Victory Level 4: At least 4 fist symbols of the winning team’s colour are guaranteed to land in the Epic Drop.
- Victory Level 5: The maximum of 5 fist symbols of the winning teams colour are guaranteed to land in the Epic Drop.
Ultimate Throwdown Bonus
Landing four FS scatter symbols during the same spin will trigger the Ultimate Throwdown Bonus. The mechanics of this feature are identical to the standard bonus, except the Victory Level will begin at level 4 instead of level 3.

Players located in areas where bonus buys are permitted will have the option to purchase various features directly, as described below:
- Bonus Hunt Feature Spins: Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus game, Cost: 3x, RTP: 96.33%.

- Fist Wild mechanism is brilliant fun and packed with potential.
- Lots of feature buy options
Cons
- Only 14 paylines and maximum win perhaps could have been slightly higher.
Fist Of Destruction Slot Review Final Thoughts
Hacksaw Gaming has once again delivered the goods with Fist of Destruction. At its heart, it’s a fairly simple slot, but the fist wild symbol is a great mechanic, completely transforming the game into an exciting beast. The graphics and theme are brilliantly delivered, and there is a lot of fun to be had via the feature buy button. If I’m being picky, the 14 win lines seem a bit low, and the maximum win could have been pushed a bit higher, but they are really minor points. This game just has something about it that will keep me coming back again and again; I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
