Anna Van Helsing Monster Huntress Review

Instead of cashing out for a branded licence from Universal Pictures, for exclusive rights to their Van Helsing (2004) monster hunter movie starring Hugh Jackman, Rabcat has simply made a game about the distant relative, Anna, instead. The fierce redhead goes after a classic looking Count Dracula in this game, or more specifically, she goes after his riches.

We can reveal up front that Microgaming’s timeless classic, Immortal Romance, is in no way threatened by this release. It’s a rather mediocre effort, something the math model reflects very well. The 1,500x max win fails to engage, and the different wild features are usually not all that exciting when they finally trigger. The visual style sticks out in a positive way, but overall the game fails to deliver a compelling atmosphere that would suck players into the action.

Anna Van Helsing: Monster Huntress Features

You’ll benefit from 3 different wild symbols in this game. The howling wolf wild, as well as the Van Helsing wild and the Dracula wild. The wolf wild is the highest paying symbol in the game, while the 2 character wilds trigger features instead of paying anything on their own. Land 5 wolf wilds on a payline, and you win 30x your stake.

All wilds step in for regular pay symbols, like wilds usually do.

When you land the Van Helsing wild on reels 1, 2 or 3, she will expand to cover the full reel. You are then granted 1 bonus spin, where the triggering expanded wilds are sticky. You have an increased chance at landing wolf wilds on the remaining reels. This might trigger the Wolf Attack feature, meaning that also the wolf wild expands to fill its reel (or reels).

You need to land 3 blood moon scatters anywhere in sight to trigger the Bonus Round. This awards 8 free spins, and all wins are subject to a 2x multiplier.

Land the dracula wild on reel 3 to trigger the Dracula’s Banishment feature.

You will then see the dracula wild expand to cover the whole reel, before he turns into an expanded Van Helsing wild. In addition, all book, coffin, wolf head and wolf wild symbols also turn into non-expanded Van Helsing wilds. The dracula wild can land to expand on other reels too, but this will not trigger the feature.

The 200 Spins Anna Van Helsing: Monster Huntress Experience

The expanded Van Helsing wild helped us out a few times in the base game, but we also landed plenty of dead spins. The bonus round is triggered at 1:54 into the 3-minute highlights video, and we triggered the Dracula’s Banishment feature only once. Hit the play button to see for yourself how much we got away with.

Review Summary

Rabcat has a distinct visual style that comes across as pleasing also in Anna Van Helsing: Monster Huntress, but their math model is usually a bit tame. This is very true in this game, and it makes the whole thing less attractive than it could have been. The base game is mostly a grind, with the very occasional mid-sized win from the expanded Van Helsing wild. A wolf attack trigger can, in theory, bring in 750x your stake if all reels are filled with wilds.

The bonus round is not really that exciting either, at least not when you’ve seen a few times how little impact the whole Dracula Banishment feature usually has.

The smell of something big being possible is just lacking as you play, and it’s not only about the very mediocre 1,500x potential. Horror fans are better off with a spooky ‘Book of’ clone like Van Helsing’s: Book Of The Undead, as Rabcat’s effort comes across as half-baked.

Pros

• Expanding Anna wilds sticky respin
• This might expand wolf wilds also
• Bonus round w/ expanding wild transformations

Cons

• Mediocre 1,500x max win potential
