Ancient Eclipse review

Theme and Storyline

This slot is themed around Aztec aesthetics and a mythical eclipse.

In a dark jungle, players will come upon an ancient temple filled with mysterious carved emblems. Gods and animals all peer out from this set of reels, ready to share the magical secrets of an impending eclipse.

This slot draws on a fantasy notion of South American history, rather than an archeological one. However, the result is a rollicking adventure fit for Indiana Jones.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is an ominous track with tension-inducing flutes. Players will feel as though they have reached a climactic moment in a jungle adventure.

The eerie shadowy jungle behind the reels suggests that the sun may already be eclipsed. Among the wild foliage, sharp-eyed players may notice spears guarding the path. The perilous nature of this world is made clear and players will feel the thrill of danger.

The symbols are impressively animated with ornate designs. Some portray animals such as crocodiles and leopards, while others display stone carvings of classic card suits.

Overall, the animation and music work well to create a dark world of Aztec myth.

Gameplay

Ancient Eclipse is a five reel, four row slot, with 50 win lines.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols.

The Moon symbol may land on any spin, leaving a gold Sun frame stuck to the position they landed on.

If a Moon symbol lands on one of these framed positions, then the Wild Eclipse feature will be triggered. This means that all Sun Frames will transform into Wild symbols.

The Sticky Sun Free Spins feature is triggered when players land Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4.

The Free Spins feature begins with 10 free spins and on any free spin that does not initiate a Wild Eclipse, any Moon symbols will give the player an additional free spin.
