Crazy Tooth Studio - another of Microgaming's in-house/exclusive game studios has announced their latest release, Lady Earth. Many games released under Microgaming’s branding over the past two years have been met with criticism with players; many say that the in-house studios Microgaming now use are simply incapable of pushing out classics like Immortal Romance and Six Acrobats; slot fanatics have come to love. Will Lady Earth be any different? Let’s find out.
Some Re-Hashed Features
There’s a distinct lack of creativity to be found in Lady Earth - and the first bonus round is one we’ve seen utilised in hundreds of slots to date. It’s called the Re-Spin Insanity feature, and any time you land a winning combination, the symbols that make up the win lock in place. Another re-spin is then awarded, with any additional locked symbols also sticking in place. These re-spins continue for as long as you keep landing symbols; theoretically, it’s possible to land a full screen of just one symbol, although we’re not holding our breath at seeing it any time soon!
There’s also a fairly basic "pick me bonus". This is triggered by landing three of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, and you’ll then enter a nine-level picking bonus. Each pick can award multipliers, cash prizes, skulls or puzzle pieces. It’s the puzzle pieces you’ll want to be keeping an eye out for, as collecting four of these will advance you to the next level. Each level offers a better selection of cash prizes - the multiplier collected is also applied to your winnings after each level is complete.
Another Underwhelming Release From Microgaming?
Something’s gone wrong at Microgaming somewhere, and they really seem to have lost their way over the last two to three years. At one point, they were a clear industry-leading in the online gambling world, and many of their original games - think Fish Party, Thunderstruck II, Immortal Romance, Dragonz and Jurassic Park - remain some of the most-played games on the web.
However, ever since they’ve started outsourcing game development to these smaller game studios, things just don’t seem to be the same. The developer are losing a significant portion of their market share, especially with newer, more modern game developers like Nolimit City and Big Time Gaming making an impact.
