Abduction

There have been numerous reports of UFO sightings, some people swear that they have seen those flying saucers and others even say that they have been aboard those ships, abducted and then brought back to Earth. 

Even though nobody has been able to prove those claims, the flying saucers still populate our imaginations. That thought inspired the game creators at Ganapati to put together a very exciting video slot named Abduction, in which the symbols on the reels can be abducted by aliens! 

Theme

There are no actual spinning reels in this game, the action happens when the UFO sets its sights on a quiet farm and decides to beam up whatever can be found. The symbols pop up between the flying saucer and the ground, and the icons forming winning combos are beamed up onto the ship. 

If the UFO doesn’t find anything to abduct, then it moves to the next farm. The symbols are quite funny and they include a bread toaster, a TV set, a light bulb, a cow, a sheep, a chicken and even a small baby. The background music is what we used to hear on the hit TV series called “The X-Files,” mysterious and quite scary at times. 

Betting Options and Functions

This game has a 5x3 grid, which provides 243 ways to win. The gameplay is quite exciting thanks to the cascading reels mechanic, which sees symbols that make up winning combos disappear into the spaceship while others take their spots. 

That can lead to avalanche wins, which will keep the UFO in the same spot until a losing spin comes about. The theoretical return to player (RTP) of this title is a bit on the low side, just 95%. 

Features

Aliens seem to like gold just as much as their human counterparts, that is probably why the gold ingots symbol is the Wild in this game, substituting any of the other icons in the paytable. 

But having enough fuel for the ship is even more important than gold, the fuel cell symbol is probably the most valuable in the game. It doesn’t lead to immediate wins, they can’t form winning combos, instead they are collected and shown in a meter situated in the top left corner of the screen. 

However, if you do manage to get three fuel cell symbols in a single round then you will be able to make the ship better using the Ship Upgrade feature. This is basically an extra spins round, but it comes with significant improvements to the UFO. 

This is when you can use the fuel cells that you have collected throughout the game to upgrade the ship by purchasing one of the following power-ups: Duplicator, Megabeam or Transmuter. These will help you form spectacular winning combos during the spins round! 

The Duplicator will blast random symbols onto the reels and will then double their amount with each shot. The Megabeam will expand the reels up to a huge 6x5 grid, which will feature no less than 7,776 ways to win! 

Last but not least, the Transmuter will take aim and randomly shoot symbols located on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, transforming them into Wilds! 

Conclusion

Abduction is an exciting and very creative video slot from Ganapati, everything from the graphics to the gameplay is designed to transport you into a world of fun and surprises. This studio started out with games developed around themes related to Japanese culture, but now they have diversified their titles so much that you can never know what to expect from them anymore. 

This game is surprising in more ways than one, the cascading reels make it quite entertaining to play and the special features definitely add a lot of thrills to the gameplay. This is one of the titles that is a must-play for any slots enthusiast.
