Crypbattle

Ganapati is a Japanese game developer, and as such, it is not a big surprise that their slots take their inspiration from anime. Popular in Japan, but what about Europe and the Western world? Well, growing in popularity certainly. Still, the important thing here is the gameplay, which at first look seems quite different from what we have grown accustomed to. Read below to find out how this anime-inspired slot works out in the world of online casinos.

Theme

The game is based on a computer game called CryptTact, which is something most people probably have never heard of. There’s a whole background story here, as well as plenty of other content from the games. As such, the theme is quite rich. However, this also means that it is quite limited when it comes to the general audience of slot players. The art style is beautiful and the immersion is something you won't find in the cast majority of other slots. This one is worth trying just to see what a properly done theme feels like.

Betting Options and Functions

At the core of it, this is a rather normal slot: 5 x 3 reels with forty paylines running through the screen. At the start, you need to select three characters to play with from the five choices. These offer different payouts and do affect the gameplay, though it is not quite clear how. Luckily, these can be changed during the game, so you are quite free to experiment with different combos.

Betting is done by selecting the desired total bet, with options ranging between 0.40 and 120 coins per spin. There are ten symbols in total, with the low-paying ones dishing out prizes between five and 100 times your line bet. The character symbols pay between 15 and 400 times the bet. The bonus symbol is the most important one, and five of them will yield a win 4000 times your line bet.

Features

Three to five scatters activate the free spins feature, which comes with 10, 15, or 25 free spins depending on how many scatters are on the screen. The feature can be re-triggered, adding more spins to the running tally.

At the start of the feature, one of the character symbols is randomly chosen as a special. If any of the regular symbols fill a whole reel they will transform into stacked symbols, which in turn will be transformed into the character symbol. This means significantly higher wins when luck is on your side.

Our Take

In the end, the game is not so different from your standard slots. Sure, the theme is quite unique, but the gameplay still remains the same. I dare say the major attraction here is the 4000x max win from five scatters. This alone should be reason enough to give the game a try. If you are into anime and JRPGs then you should also take a look.
