All this fantasy has been put by Playtech on its game "Battle of the Gods", where basically a battle between the old gods against the Titans is exposed. The design and game music are epic, and the symbols of the gods are easily identified by having bluish tinges and titans have reddish ones.

This is the classic slot format with 3 x 5 reels and it has 25 paylines. The bet per line levels can be adjusted at will from $ 0.01 to $ 50 for each line. There are 10 standard symbols, distributed in 5 gods and 5 titans, a wild symbol that works as supplement and scatter symbol represented with an image of the Parthenon. It can be said that payouts for normal paylines are low, and with those prices it seems totally normal a tendency for our capital falls in the passing of the spins, unless one of the two special features packed into the game is activated with the appearance the right combination. These two features are the "X-Feature", which is activated when the middle cell on reel 3 and adjacent ones to their corners, forming an X, all belong to figures of gods (the blue characters); in this case, the player obtains a payment equal to 5x the bet, added to earned values paid by formed lines. The other special feature is the free spins round, triggered by getting 3 scatter symbols in any position, and it certainly is amazing, as it develops into two camps, one of gods and other of titans. In the land of the gods the number of free spins is unlimited and in the field of Titans are 8. Initially it enters into area of the gods and from there only comes out when the symbol "Extra Wild" appears on reel 3 to make the transition to the field of the Titans, where the possibility of returning to the field of the gods is with another symbol "Extra Wild", if the latter does not happen, our 8 turns run out and we will return to the basic game, but the best, is that when this happens, we surely have already obtained some juicy profits that deserve to be called more than simply decent ones, and hopefully you have been enlightenedby the gods and your bet had been higher by the moment this feature has been triggered.

For me, to leave this game as a winner was a matter of patience and faith; I think it was very important to raise the stakes slowly until obtaining the free spins round and then start again. Maybe it's my impression, but I think it was very useful to make use of stop button to trigger the free spins round I got at twice.

I consider this one a pretty nice game but I think you also have to be very careful when betting on it.

Battle of the Gods’ theme what else could be than the Greek mythology!? I always like these styles of games where are reality, legends, mysticism, supernatural powers and interesting stories, tales.

Surprisingly, the game has such interface than some of the Progressive Jackpot slots have but it’s just an illusion here as the game doesn’t have that power but graphically I think it follows the big brothers’ footsteps. I know it’s only my obsession but I’m not a fan of the appearance where the symbols are not separated from each other with well-marked lines or signs (of course the symbols themselves if they’re well-designed can make such little visual separation) because I think this solution doesn’t do good for the overall visual experience and it is especially true here. All the God illustration symbols are graphically nice job and very attractive alone but somehow I don’t feel they would create a comprehensive unit. My biggest problem is the recognition of them because basically we play here with two group of symbols regarding to the visualization – blue and deep burgundy colour tint dominated pictograms and the only main pictorial difference between them are just the silhouettes of Gods and it’s not always easy to identify them immediately. I think it would have been better to make more distinctive icons that can’t be confused not even accidentally. A little bit it reminds me the style of X-Men but I think that slot is better designed.

Playing the game I had to realize this similarity between those two slots are not coincidence as we can meet here lot of features that we already know from X-Men. I can start with mentioning the specific X-Feature when 5 Gods form an X shape on the inner reels and a x5 of total bet prize is credited. The Free Spin feature also has 2 game modes just here they’re called Gods and Titans mode which are activated if three Scatters appear anywhere on the reels and reward unlimited number of extra games in Gods mode (by the way this symbol also can award cash prize up to 200 times of total bet) these games lasts until a specific symbol appear on the third reel when the feature switches to Titans mode where we have 8 free spins where another chosen icon can pop up on the middle reel to take us back to Gods mode.
These two different special symbols are Extra Wilds and only got that replacing functions during these free games where they can form a 5 of a kind type line and pay 1500 coins. Anyway, the normal Wild in basic game is the best paying icon with the ability to present a 1500 times of line bet gift.

Somehow I had a feeling during my play time with Battle of the Gods that this is a poor man’s version of X-Men. I understand the X-Men is a very popular game (with every reason) but making such similar type game was a mistake in my opinion. If the creators wanted to follow the scheme they made at X-Men, it’s OK for me but they should have constructed a slot with more specific signs and made it much more individual. Anyway, from this comparison Battle of the Gods can’t and doesn’t come out on top as I think X-Men is simple an overall better game. I think here not just the Jackpots winning availability but I experienced a much better game functions there. The payouts, the winning tendency, the gameplay, the features and yes even the visual solutions are higher quality there so I think there’s no reason to play here if we the opportunity is given to play with X-Men.

I must be fair here, if I had never played with X-Men previously and simple just meet this slot with clean slate I would like this game a lot because the features are good enough to be entertaining partner and it has even such good game qualities but because it is a later released slot from the same developer the situation is different. So if you’re not committed to the Greek mythology and don’t mind to play with game that deals with other theme I can recommend to choose the X-Men to get an overall better playing experience.
