Thorn Forest by KA Gaming puts a cannon in front of a cursed fantasy forest populated by wolves and unusual creatures. This multiplayer arcade shooter revolves around aiming at roaming enemies and collecting rewards when they are defeated. Target selection is the central activity, with special creatures able to change the action across the screen.
Quick take: Bouncing shots and special-enemy attacks give this forest shooter more to follow than the creature directly in your sights.
Theme and Gameplay
The forest setting supplies moving targets rather than a reel board. After choosing a betting room, you aim the cannon and fire at creatures passing through the play area. The result to watch is a defeated enemy: landing a shot and receiving a reward are different events.
Bullets rebound from the screen edges until they hit a target, so their path can continue beyond your initial aim. Lock Shooting follows a selected enemy, while Auto Shooting keeps the cannon firing automatically. Those controls change how you handle the shooting, but the reward still comes from defeating creatures.
Game Features
Special enemies give target selection another purpose. Defeating Frostelle temporarily freezes enemies, interrupting their movement. Flarelle and Voltelle produce explosive and electrical attacks against other targets when defeated. A successful attack on one of these creatures can therefore affect more than the original target.
Powerful Bullet offers a stronger attack at six times the cost of a regular bullet. That makes it a meaningful spending choice within the shooting action. Its extra strength comes with a higher cost each time it is used; it does not turn every attack into a guaranteed defeat.
Feature focus: Watch the effect of defeating a special enemy on the creatures around it. Frostelle changes their movement, while Flarelle and Voltelle extend the attack to other targets.
RTP and Win Potential
The listed RTP is 96%, a theoretical return over extensive play rather than a prediction for one visit to the forest. Individual enemy rewards can reach 600x. That figure gives the larger targets a prize scale, but it should not be read as a combined limit for an entire shooting session. The practical balance remains the cost of firing against the rewards from enemies actually defeated.
My Thoughts On This Game
Choosing what to shoot is the attraction I would put first in Thorn Forest. An enemy's reward is one reason to pursue it; releasing a freeze or an attack against other creatures makes the choice more interesting. The forest setting feels well suited to that interaction, with its creatures participating in the wider fight rather than serving only as individual prizes. Manual aiming and Lock Shooting also accommodate different appetites for following a moving target, which is a welcome practical touch. My hesitation would be the attention firing costs demand alongside the action. The stronger bullet makes that especially relevant: a more forceful attack also means spending more on the shot. I would recommend Thorn Forest to someone who enjoys aiming and following special-enemy effects, and finds that involvement worth the attention to spending.
Final Take: Thorn Forest is most appealing when choosing a target means considering what its defeat could do to the surrounding fight.
