I tried the demo game and the sound effect is quite annoying, I don't know if I am the only one thinking that way. The game animation isn't as smooth as the original Gate of Olympus and the graphical presentation isn't that attracting too. I don't know the reason why Pragmatic Play loves replicating their games with just some graphic modification. are they running out of idea on a slot games?
I dont care about music and sound effect in slot game to be honest because anytime I play slot, I turned all the music/sound off. I would prefer to play slot game silently and turn my own favorite music on. The reason of replication, no one knows except Pragmatic but we can guess ofc. In my opinion they keep on replicating their old game is due to its popularity. As we can see, Pragmatic did not replicate their old game which are not that popular. Most of their replicated games are popular slot such as Fruit Party, Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, Gems Bonanza, etc.
I can't help but compare because this kind of game has its predecessor, the Gate of Olympus and Starlight Princess. When a new game resembling the existing game is released, we cannot help but compare the two and hope to see a better version on the latest one and get disappointed when it is subpar to the existing one. Just citing my observation and does not intend to degrade the game.
On the contrary, it is a good thing to have variation of the same mechanics, at least we can play multiple games making us to not stay on the same game for too long because that is when the slots starts eating our bankroll.
