Introduction
Produced by Nolimit City, Warrior Graveyard is an action-packed online pokie set in an ancient graveyard filled with undead warriors of old. This six-reel, three-row pokie has 25 always-on paylines, expanding wilds and a nudge feature that can help to fill the screen with wild symbols.
Symbols featured in this game include all manner of weaponry, such as axes, swords and shields, and helmets. During the bonus game, the full-length wild symbol is a skeleton in its tomb. Revealing the full skeleton often results in some nice wins given that it produces a wild card across all three reels.
In addition to regular play, Warrior Graveyard features a free spin bonus round with some handy accumulators. This provides the potential for a good return from this part of the game.
In common with many developers, Nolimit City has provided the opportunity to play this game in fun mode to get to grips with the gameplay. This is great news for fans of free pokies and provides a dry run for those testing the game to see whether they would like to stake real cash on a spin of the reels at an online casino.
Theme, graphics & soundtrack
Featuring undead warriors in a similar vein to those featured in Peter Jackson's epic take on JRR Tolkien's The Return of the King, Warrior Graveyard provides a suitably eerie atmosphere. A full moon lurks ominously behind the reels, with gravestones and other monuments behind the crumbling mausoleum that houses the reels. In a nice touch, the reels show evidence of a skirmish taking place, with arrows protruding from the bricks and other decay that may not have been the result of the passing of time.
The graphics are clean and clear, with the muted colour scheme helping to add to this eerie twilight-based atmosphere. Certain symbols are brighter, which makes a welcomed contrast, whilst the animations when winning combinations occur stand out brilliantly, especially the flaming symbols.
The soundtrack is simple background noise, which again helps to set the atmosphere. Where the audio excels is the sound effects that run as the reels spin and particularly as they come to rest. The stones clanking together have some real weight to them, and other sound effects when wins are achieved are very well mixed and rendered.
Warrior Graveyard RTP and variance
Warrior Graveyard has a slightly above-average long-term RTP of 96.15 per cent. The game’s high volatility is due to the wide range between the top wins and the average win size.

- The sword and the shield result in a win of 3x for matching six. The other three standard symbols provide a win of 2.80x the initial bet.

Warrior Graveyard free spins
The free spin bonus is accessed by landing three or more scatter symbols on the reels. In this game, they are known as Graveyard spins.

Additional Graveyard spins can be triggered by revealing scatters during the bonus feature.
Warrior Graveyard review: our verdict
The graphics are fairly simplistic but hugely effective. The high volatility means that big wins are possible, but you are likely to need patience to wait for these. Nudging wilds and the promise of Graveyard spins help to keep the game interesting.
