Bushido Ways xNudge Review
The burning aftermath of an epic battle has been blurred out in the backdrop, and the dramatic soundtrack does not disappoint. Following in the footsteps of brutal beasts like Barbarian Fury and Warrior Graveyard, Bushido Ways xNudge is all about the strict japanese code of ‘honour, respect, tribute, glory, fear and revenge’ - leading to the Journey’s End max win feature (similar to the Psycho Manhunt in San Quentin).
Most of the base game action comes from slicing wilds that increases the win ways on reels 3 to 5, as well as the Geisha xNudge Multiplier wild on the middle reel. The most lucrative bonus round includes both regular wilds and a sticky multiplier Geisha wild. The volatility is extreme, as it also was in the predecessors, but the 30,000x potential has been beefed up significantly.
Bushido Ways xNudge Slot - Reels ScreenBushido Ways xNudge Features
The 3 premium samurai symbols are 1x4 in size, and land partly or fully in view. The masked red samurai is the highest value symbol, awarding 2x your stake for 5 on a payline. That might not sound like much, but as we shall see below, there are plenty of features to boost your winnings.

You can land a 1x4 Geisha Wild symbol on reel 3, and it will always nudge fully in place whenever it lands. The xNudge feature makes sure that every step the Wild Geisha nudges increases the wild multiplier with +1.
This means that the Wild Geisha can accumulate a 4x multiplier at the most, and she steps in for all regular pay symbols.You can also land regular 1x1 sized wilds on reels 2 to 5, and these step in for all regular pay symbols as well. Wilds that land on reels 3, 4 or 5 are “sliced” into 2, 3 or 4 symbols, increasing the win ways up to 12,288. In the bonus rounds, the wilds will first clone themselves downwards, before splitting.
You trigger the Oni Transform feature whenever you land a scatter symbol at the same time as a stacked warrior. You will then see all scatter symbols, as well as all lower value warrior symbols, transform into the highest value warrior symbol in view.
Bushido Ways xNudge Slot - Buy FeatureYou trigger the Shogun Bonus Round when you land 3 scatters anywhere in sight. This awards a minimum of 8 free spins, but you also get +1 extra spin per extra scatter you land above the minimum of 3.
You will benefit from at least 1 single wild on reels 2 to 5 on each spin, and you can upgrade to the Geisha Spins feature by landing the Wild Geisha on the middle reel.Triggering the Geisha Spins also awards +1 extra spin per Geisha Wild nudge, and the feature is also triggered if you land 3 scatters at the same time as a Wild Geisha in the base game. The Geisha Multiplier Wild remains frozen in place for the duration of the feature. Again, you are guaranteed at least 1 single wild on reels 2, 4 or 5, and you get +1 extra spin per scatter you land.
As usual with NoLimit City, non-UK players have a bonus buy option. The Shogun Spins feature will set you back 75x your stake (96.13% RTP) while the Geisha Spins cost 700x your stake (96.82% RTP).
The 200 Spins Bushido Ways xNudge Experience
We didn’t bother including too much of the base game this time, but we still have a lengthy 6 and half minute highlights video lined up for you. We purchase the Shogun Spins at 0:30 into the video, and then we buy the Geisha Spins at the 2:30 mark. The latter brought a lot of action, but whether or not we ended up in profit you’ll have to see for yourself.
Review Summary
NoLimit City has pretty much established themselves in a league of their own. When you look at what’s going on in a game like this compared to the average slot out there, with slicing wilds and xNudge multipliers, it’s almost like comparing the early Ford automobile to a finely tuned Ferrari. Features strike fast and fierce in this fast-paced game, giving you sudden spikes of incoming wealth.
Clearly, Bushido Ways xNudge follows in the footsteps of Barbarian Fury and Warrior Graveyard, and it’s undoubtedly not as revolutionary as recent NoLimit releases like San Quentin or East Coast vs West Coast.
Still, there are plenty of highly entertaining moments contained in this release, and the 30,000x potential is significantly more solid than what’s on offer in most Megaways titles.Pros
- xNudge multiplier wilds on reel 3
- Slicing/splitting wilds on reels 3 to 5
- Shogun spins w/ guaranteed wild
- Geisha spins w/ sticky multiplier wild
- Win up to 30,000x your stake
Cons
