Games Global partner, Pear Fiction Studios, welcomes us into the open arms of Anubis in their latest release, Alpha Gods: Anubis!

Although our premonition of Alpha Gods: Zeus becoming a new series was true, the chosen God for the latest release is not quite what we had envisioned. Zeus was an all-powerful Greek God, but he wasn’t the only one at that time. Pear Fiction Studios could have gone with Hades, Poseidon, Athena – the list goes on.

Instead, we’re heading down the Ancient Egyptian route and into the direction of Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Afterlife. It’s a surprising turn of events, which leaves us second-guessing where Pear Fiction Studios will take the series next, if at all.

Alpha Gods: Anubis is the latest Pear Fiction release to cover the ‘Lock’n Win UpZones’ mechanic witnessed previously in Alpha Gods: Zeus and Treasures of Kilahea 2. If you flick through their extensive portfolio, you’ll notice a pattern emerging with each new release, dating back to Squealin’ Riches.

Each release from this point onwards revealed a unique mechanic, either Lock’n Win, SwiftHits, TopGraderz, or Loot Collect, along with a colourful cartoon design and the occasional humorous theme (Blazing Piranhas, for example).

The Egyptian theme has appeared in many releases, both new and old, with one software developer in particular having a soft spot for it. If you’re looking for a new Egyptian slot to add to your favourites, Play’n GO has got you covered, with a big portion of their portfolio primarily Egyptian games.

While Alpha Gods: Zeus won the hearts of many for its rewarding statistics and colourful in-game features, Alpha Gods: Anubis offers a fixed RTP of 96.02% and a ‘very high’ volatility score, tied off with a 5,000x max win potential.

We’ve grown rather fond of Pear Fiction Studios’ colourful releases, but can the same be said for Alpha Gods: Anubis? Let’s find out.

Almighty Wild Feature

During gameplay, landing an Almighty Wild symbol guarantees a spin on the Almighty Wild Wheel, located behind the main reel set. Depending on which segment the cursor stops, a special in-game Modifier is awarded:

  • Single Scarab: Creates a Scarab Zone on the reels, causing all symbols within it to transform into Wilds
  • Double Scarab: Awards a second Almighty Wild and Scarab Zone
  • Respin: Locks all present Wilds and winning combinations onto the reels, triggering a Respin
  • Remove: All visible low-paying symbols are removed from the reels
  • Wild Stack: Transforms 1-3 reels with Wild symbols into a full stack. Any existing Wilds and Almighty Wilds on these reels will reveal a x2 Multiplier
  • Wild Multiplier: Upgrades all present Wilds and Almighty Wilds on the reels into x2-x10 Multiplier Wilds

When a winning pay line begins with a Wild symbol, the respective Wild substitutes for the highest-paying outcome.

Alpha Gods: Anubis UpZones Lock’n Win Bonus

Spread out above the main reel set are 4 Bonus Pots, each tied to the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond bonus modes. Each time a Scatter symbol hits, it will be collected into its respective Bonus Pot, with the possibility of triggering the corresponding Bonus.

Once a Free Spins mode is active, the following outcome is awarded:

  • Bronze: Awards 3 Free Spins and 3 UpZones
  • Silver: Awards 4 Free Spins and 4 UpZones
  • Gold: Awards 5 Free Spins and 5 UpZones
  • Diamond: Awards 6 Free Spins and 6 UpZones

Upon entry into the Bronze, Silver, or Gold modes, you can gamble for the chance to win a better mode. If a gamble ends in an unsuccessful attempt, you will return to the base game, empty-handed.

During the session, special Fireball symbols can appear on the reels, revealing Cash Prizes between 1x and 100x your bet.

UpZones are individual, highlighted positions on the reels that are subject to certain enhancements. When a Fireball symbol lands within an UpZone, it will cause the additional Sliding Reel above the main reel set to spin, revealing one of the following Modifiers:

  • Collect: Gathers all available Fireball symbols from the reels
  • Boost: Increases the prize of all Fireball symbols between 1x and 25x your bet
  • Multiplier: Reveals a random Multiplier between x2 and x100 and adds it to a Fireball symbol
  • Spin: Awards 2-5 extra Free Spins
  • Jackpot: Instantly triggers the Jackpot Feature

The UpZones Lock’n Win mode ends when all positions are filled or when all the Free Spins have been used.

Our Honest Verdict

Almost a year has passed since the release of Alpha Gods: Zeus, and during that time, we’ve explored a handful of Pear Fiction releases with similar or upgraded mechanics. It’s through releases like 3 Lucky Gators and Betbarian Bounty that we’ve become somewhat of a pro when facing the Lock’n Win feature, so we feel quite at ease here.

What we don’t see that often is the UpZones mechanic, although it’s not too dissimilar from the TopGraderz mechanic. However, what does seem to be a given with every Pear Fiction release is the appearance of Jackpot Prizes, with Alpha Gods: Anubis being the next ‘victim’ of this feature.

While the opportunity to win sizable Jackpot Prizes is exciting, it can also be an unpleasant and irritating experience, to a degree, especially when you’ve had many failed attempts at cashing in on the highest Jackpot. On the other hand, we’re privvy to an increasing Jackpot feature, where there’s potential to win a varied Prize, meaning that no two Jackpot wins (if you’re lucky) are ever the same.

In terms of Free Spins, Alpha Gods: Anubis falls under the ‘3 Pots’ strategy of gameplay, where a number of coloured Scatter symbols are needed to unlock 1 of 4 Free Spins modes. This particular development has become a consistent piece of gameplay in multiple new releases, including 3 Magic Pots and Wild Swarm Triple Hive, as well as a wide variety of Pear Fiction titles, dating back years.

There was a time when the Megaways mechanic was at the forefront of all new releases, while every so often, the iGaming industry will shift to a new mechanic, causing software developers to scramble to create the best variant. Honestly? We’d prefer a fluctuation of Megaways titles again over this, but that’s our opinion.

All in all, Alpha Gods: Anubis is another solid offering from Pear Fiction Studios, but it lacks the innovation or desired changes needed to stand out against its predecessor.
