Brute Force Slot Review
We often wonder what would happen should an alien invasion befall humanity. Do we have the firepower to resist, or would we be defenceless to their overwhelming power?
Nolimit City’s newest slot Brute Force tells such a story. The existence of humanity itself is threatened and entire civilisations are under siege. Our only heroes it seems are not the army, but a squad of unconventional heroes. Playing by the rulebook won’t save us, but perhaps breaking all of the rules will.
Get ready to suit up, but don’t f*#@ up, humanity is at stake.
Brute Force is coming in hot when it launches at casino sites on 08/10/2024. Its retro video game vibe is reminiscent of Konami’s Contra, a video game that launched on the NES in 1988. It wouldn’t be the first game from Nolimit to sprinkle video game elements, having released Space Donkey almost a year to the date.
8 -bit style slots are always interesting, and surprisingly few try them.
Let’s see if their newest game has what it takes to save the earth and garner a fanbase…by force.
Base Game & Features
Brute Force relives fond memories of returning from school and jumping straight onto the PC for a quick game of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Set across 5 reels and 5 rows, Brute Force acquires 21 fixed pay lines and a number of betting options between £.€0.20 per spin and £.€100 per spin.
Wins occur when 3-5 matching symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. A series of 10 icons make up the high and low-paying symbols, with the highest-paying producing wins of 20x your bet for a 5-line winning sequence.
Brute Force is a highly volatile slot with a theoretical RTP of 96.08% and a max win cap of 40,000x your bet. Other statistics include lower RTP variants of 94.1% and 92.06%, along with a Free Spins Frequency of 1 in 291 spins.
xNudge Wilds
Brute Force features 3 types of xNudge Wilds that can land in a stacked state, nudging until fully visible on the reels. A random Multiplier value appears at the bottom once fully in view, adding to the xNudge Wild multiplier respectively.
- Joshua xNudge Wild: Each nudge increases the Win Multiplier by +x1, up to a maximum of x8
- Jason xNudge Wild: Each nudge increases the Win Multiplier by +x2, up to a maximum of x21
- Hyper xNudge Wild: Each nudge increases the Win Multiplier by +x5, up to a maximum of x51
In addition, a special xNudge Meter summarises the total xNudge Multiplier on all winning symbols.

Our Verdict
Brute Force comes hot off the conveyor not long after San Quentin 2, and not long before their next upcoming Blood & Shadow 2. The frequency of their releases feels like it’s stepped up quite significantly, but the quality hasn’t dipped at all.
It’s always fun to meet Aliens on home turf before you kick their heads in and send them packing whether that be in video games or slots, and it’s safe to say that the crew Nolimit City has chosen as our saviours are up for the job.
The only thing stronger than their obscenely large muscles and huge weaponry is the range of xMechanics that never fails to disappoint. xNudge has become such a staple, and we dare say it’s one of, if not THE most effective feature in their arsenal. Couple that with the special Joshua, Jason and Hyper xNudge Wilds seen here then you’ve got a recipe for carnage.
The meme ‘stop he’s already dead’ comes to mind as Joshua and Jason give Hyper an almost over-the-top beating, but how far is too far when you’re saving the world? Hit him when he’s down once more, just to be sure.
With 40,000x win potential, Brute Force stands out to us as a perfect mix of volatility and potential. It’s no Tombstone RIP, but there’s no nonsense about sub-5000x wins to be seen anywhere.
Overall, Brute Force might look tame in contrast to some of their more recent releases, but compared to slots from others it’s another ass-kicking game.
