Fantasy themed slots are immensely popular at the moment, not least because of the huge amount of scope that comes with the theme.While many developers have played it safe and not pushed the boundaries of the genre too much, Microgaming and Foxium have teamed up to try and change that with Astro Legends: Lyra and Erion.
About the slot
With five reels and 10 paylines, Astro Legends: Lyra and Erion is playable from 20p to £100 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.This is an interesting looking slot, the reels appear in a diamond shape, cocking our perceptions slightly to the left (or right) and adding a sense of the unique to the slot here.That’s not the only original touch though, with the game’s main characters appearing next to the reels, one with a purple afro and a keytar (honestly), the other more an abstract than a creature.This is a really fun looking slot, the background is immersive, the soundtrack suits, the neon style symbols on the reels that include various crystals look good.Astro Legends: Lyra and Erion is one of the freshest looking slots we’ve seen in some time.
Gameplay
There are some interesting features here, for example Erion can appear randomly after a win in the base game, blocking all reel positions while Lyra blows them away, with more re-spins for more winning combinations.A bubble will appear randomly on the reels, Lyra will pop it and collect points, when the point reach 100, Lyra will turn into a wolf and run across one of three tracks picking up gems for multipliers along the way.This slot sounds ridiculous, because it is, but in all the best ways, until you experience it, you won’t fully understand how good it is.
