Alpha Gods: Zeus Demo

Alpha Gods: Zeus Slot Review

Zeus has had more cameos in slots than appearances in mythological lore at this point, and to introduce his mightiness once more comes Pear Fiction Studios in Alpha Gods: Zeus. Given the name, Alpha Gods might hint at the start of a series. If our premonition comes true then we may yet see Alpha Gods: Hades, Poseidon, Hermes or perhaps even a Norse spin-off. You heard the unconfirmed rumours here first, but we’ll put that aside as we focus on the here and now – Alpha Gods: Zeus.

We must note how crisp the artwork looks here and commend Pear Fiction Studios for it. The outlines look sharp and Zeus looks sharper as an imposing and almighty god who is shadowed only by Jackpot prizes that he can bestow upon players.

Alpha Gods: Zeus may need more than just Jackpots, which is arguably a turn-off to some who believe the odds to be overwhelming. Can it impress with other features? Let’s check it out.

  • Double Blue Symbol: Awards an additional Almighty Wild symbol and creates an electric zone
  • Green Symbol: Locks all Wild symbols and winning combinations, triggering a Respin
  • Red Symbol: Removes all Low-paying symbols
  • Yellow Symbol: Transforms 1-3 reels with wilds into Wild Stacks. All existing regular and almighty wilds in view become x2

Upzones Lock’n Win Feature

The Upzones Lock’n Win feature is unlocked when the Progress Bar has reached max capacity. Scatter symbols are collected into Pots and may potentially trigger the feature. Spins and Upzones are awarded based on which Pot is won:

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

Once the Lock’n Win feature is active, you can gamble your current setup for additional Upzones. Please note, that the gamble mode is not available after you have won the Diamond Lock’n Win.

Landing an Orb symbol during this feature will award values between 1x and 100x your bet. Orb symbols landing within an Upzone causes the top row to spin, creating new Upzones.

The top row will spin Horizontally, awarding one of the following:

  • Collect Symbol: Collects all Orbs in view
  • Boost Symbol: Increases all Orb values by 1x-25x your bet
  • Multiplier Symbol: Multiplies a random Orb symbol by x2-x100
  • Spin Symbol: Awards 1-5 additional spins
  • Jackpot Symbol: Triggers the Jackpot feature.

The Upzones Lock’n Win feature ends when all positions are filled or spins are completed.

Bonus Buy

The Bonus Buy feature unlocks when Scatter symbols are unlocked via the Progress Bar. Once available, you can purchase any of the Upzones Lock’n Win features.

Conclusion

Pear Fiction Studios are known for their quirky themes and signature features in many of their releases. However, one feature in particular that keeps popping up is the Lock’n Win function, which takes centre stage in Alpha Gods: Zeus.

Alpha Gods: Zeus offers a variety of exciting features, however, you’re unable to enjoy their full effects until you have unlocked them via the Progress Bar. This goes for the Bonus Buy option too. With the majority of features locked, it’s clear that Alpha Gods: Zeus will require some serious grinding, keeping player curiosity peaked from the get-go.

Whilst you wait, Pear Fiction Studios has thrown in a separate Jackpot Wheel which presented itself a handful of times during testing. In the base game, each Jackpot symbol will increase its respective prize by +x1. Getting the 4 Jackpot Prizes close to or on their max limits would be more beneficial before entering the Jackpot Feature.

Pear Fiction Studios has upgraded the Lock’n Win feature with a new and exciting Upzones mechanic. Upzones are specially powered areas on the reels that cause the top row to spin when an Orb symbol lands within it. The top row unlocks a series of features which dramatically enhance the Lock’n Win round!
