Age of Akkadia Review

The world of online slots is filled with games inspired by Ancient civilizations, but there aren’t too many set in Mesopotamia just yet. Red Tiger has taken advantage of this fact, and it gives Age of Akkadia an aura of novelty at first glance. The visually pleasing facade comes with a match-3 cluster pays engine, which means you win by matching 3 to 5 symbols horizontally or vertically anywhere in sight.

Savvy players will soon realize that the core concept has been lifted directly from Play’n Go titles like Golden Ticket 2 or Troll Hunters. High-value symbols leave wilds behind when removed, and your main goal is to get enough cascading wins to reveal the bonus emblem. This triggers the incremental multiplier bonus round, but the 2,048x potential cannot live up to the above-mentioned sources of inspiration.

Age of Akkadia slot Features

The Cascading Wins feature makes sure all winning symbols are removed from the grid. All high value symbols involved in a winning cluster leave the middle symbol behind as a wild when they disappear from the grid. This is called the Akkadia Wild feature.

The wilds substitute for all regular pay symbols, and they remain in play for as long as the cascading sequence lasts.

A pure wild win does not leave a wild behind though, but the wild is the highest paying symbol in the game. It awards 10x your stake for 5 in a cluster.

An emblem with the word “BONUS” moves up and down per spin on the 3 bottom rows in the background. You trigger the Bonus Round when you get enough cascading wins to reveal the emblem fully, and this awards 10 free spins. Doing the same during the feature awards 5 extra spins.

During the bonus round, multiplier symbols will also be hidden behind the regular symbols, just like the bonus emblem. You can get up to 3 multiplier symbols per spin, with values up to x10 each.

Each multiplier symbol you reveal is added to the global multiplier above the reels, and this multiplier applies to all wins. It never resets during the feature, and it can go as high as x30 at the most.

Review Summary

Red Tiger has clearly been inspired by the concept found in Play’n Go’s Troll Hunters and Golden Ticket series. It’s all about landing clusters to reveal the bonus symbol, and the cluster pays engine works nicely also on a smaller scale like this. Basing the ancient civilization theme around Mesopotamian culture provides a nice break from the all-too-common trips to Egypt, Rome or Greece, and the visual presentation is solid, as we’ve come to expect from the NetEnt partner.

However, as is so often the case with this developer, the biggest drawbacks are found in the math model. The 2,048x potential is a dealbreaker for many players these days, and having to worry about adjustable RTP ranges doesn’t exactly help either. The bonus round is not all that hard to trigger though, but getting anything of significance out of it is another question entirely.

Copycatting is the norm in this industry, but it’s always a good idea to make sure your version is the obvious best choice.
