CrypBattle - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you’ve played free Ganapati slots before, you’ll know this company can be very creative with its formats, and CrypBattle is no exception. In fact, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve entered a role-playing game (RPG) rather than a slot when you first load the opening screen. You start with character selection as you prepare to battle monsters and defend your home. Each character has its own stats that will affect your game, and you need to decide on the best balance for your reels.

Once the three rows of five reels are loaded, things become a little more familiar. You want to match three or more symbols along one of the 40 paylines to win. As well as your three chosen warriors, there are six colourful woodland emblems (more Celtic than Japanese), a roaring dragon of a wild and a scatter represented by the word “Bonus”. This will be useful for triggering free spins.

Theme & Story

Ganapati’s Japanese roots often make an appearance in its slots and CrypBattle is no exception. It’s based on CrypTract, a popular RPG set in a fantastical land where you must gather warriors together to defend your fief from magical creatures. CrypBattle is also set in the Empire of Guilsania and again, you must choose the warriors who will help you in battle. There are five warrior characters in total, each drawn in graphics that recall the original game, as well as other Japanese media (they wouldn’t look out of place in an anime or manga, a little like the title character of the Koi Princess slot demo).

Your character choices include End Times Witch Nadia, Lise the Serene Secretary, Persian Lou the Chief Thief, Sasha the Adventurer and Grista the Dragon Hunter. Like in Cryptract, you have to choose your character before you can play. They will join you in an idyllic forest that sparkles with magic, with birds tweeting and a stream gurgling in the background for a truly immersive gaming experience.

CrypBattle RTP & Volatility

The RTP for CrypBattle is 97.17%, which you’ll be glad to hear puts it rather higher than your average slot. There’s no official volatility.

How to Play CrypBattle

Much like its predecessor, CrypTract, CrypBattle is heavily rooted in its story. That means it’s not as simple as just hitting play, you need to have some idea about the world you’re entering.

1. The first thing you have to do is choose three of the five main characters to be your warrior. Each warrior has different advantages and disadvantages, including changing your bet level.

2. Once your characters are picked, the reels will load. If you change your mind about your preferred warriors, you can switch them using the circular button on the left of the screen, just above the main settings.

3. Speaking of main settings, the bottom left corner is where you find buttons for paytable and game rules as well as a mute button.

4. Your minimum bet is decided by your choice of characters, but you can increase it by using the plus symbol under the reels. There’s also a button to take you straight to Max Bet.

5. Above Max Bet is the autoplay control. Use this to set a specific number of spins, or to set single win limits, cash increase limits and cash decrease limits during autoplay.

6. If you’ve done all this and set your budget, you’re ready to hit the big, round Spin button and see where the reels fall.

CrypBattle Bonus Features & Free Spins

Stacked Symbols

These are triggered when one symbol covers all the positions in a single reel. The reel will turn entirely into one of your picked characters.

Free Spins

For many players, free spins are one of the first things to look for when choosing a slot. In CrypBattle, these are triggered by three or more of the handily labelled Bonus symbols. Three of these symbols means ten free spins, four symbols mean 15 free spins and the maximum five will give you an impressive 25 free spins. You can also retrigger the feature. During the Free Spins round, stacked symbols will be replaced by the dominant character.

Conclusion

Now this is an exciting way to merge a slot with an RPG. It might not be your first choice if you like your slots with no frills, but anyone who appreciates a bit of backstory will enjoy the character selection feature and the chance to immerse yourself in a fictional world. It’s not all about the narrative, though, and there’s also a nice array of bonus features to keep the gameplay exciting at the same time.
