Akiva: Claws of Power

There is a stack of African wildlife slots stalking a line up near you, and it's not hard to see the allure. The raw majesty of nature, the cycle of birth, life, and competition, rolling on for countless aeons. Strip away our modern technology, and one wonders if we as a species could fight, claw, and survive our way to the top of the food chain again. It's powerful stuff. Less powerful is Akiva: Claws of Power, Foxium's contribution to the African nature slot genre. It looks a treat, but it's a bit like a doughnut. Once you've nibbled away at the outer parts, the inner is a bit hollow. One reason is that the central features are a bit old hat, though the Claws of Power and Akiva Sandstorm are pretty neat. Merging middle reels to create big symbols is veryWolf Gold, or perhaps even earlier, and the Link&Win bonus round is bog standard. Don't expect any special symbols or special rules to get in the way of simply landing Coin symbols or not. Even cracking the game's max win is pretty so-so. Winning the Grand would obviously be better than being chased by an angry lion, but the maximum potential in Akiva: Claws of Power is a relatively low2,500x the bet. With all the claws, slashing and so on going on, it feels like a paltry amount compared to much of what's out there. Still, it's unlikely Foxium made Akiva: Claws of Power just for its health. There's a chance the studio had a specific player type in mind when the team made the game, who should be pretty a-okay with the sort of pleasant sensory experience and proven features Akiva: Claws of Power supplies. Out of this exclusive circle, though, there's a suspicion Akiva: Claws of Power might come across like a lion in captivity that looks majestic but has lost the will to assert the apex predator status it possessed out in the wild.
