Compared to its predecessor, Ashoka Eternal doesn't quite capture the same immersive atmosphere. ELK Studios opts for a lighter, airier aesthetic, departing from the dense jungle ambiance of the original. While not unattractive, it lacks the impactful visuals that distinguished Ashoka. Nonetheless, ELK Studios maintains its standard of quality in audiovisual presentation.

Ashoka Eternal unfolds on an expandable grid, initially set with 5 columns housing various symbols, including blockers. Utilizing a cluster pays mechanic, the game operates at a high volatility level, rated 8 out of 10. With an RTP of 94%, players can wager between 20 cents to $/€100 per spin, with additional options available in the X-iter bonus buy menu.

The slot features a variety of symbols, ranging from lower-paying stone blocks to higher-value gems and a tiger. Wins occur when at least 5 symbols connect horizontally or vertically. Symbol sizes vary from 1x1 to 3x3, with wilds substituting for regular pay symbols. The game also incorporates big wild symbols and a unique mechanic where empty spaces below big symbols are filled with smaller ones of the same type.

Ashoka Eternal introduces several engaging features to enhance gameplay. The symbol drop mechanic removes winning symbols and blockers, allowing new symbols to cascade into place, potentially leading to consecutive wins. The multiplier wheel adds excitement, with multipliers activated based on its position.

Charged wilds persist through multiple wins, while the redrop symbol keeps selected symbols sticky for an additional chance at winning combinations. Triggering the bonus game awards 8 free spins, with the possibility of activating the super bonus round for extra rewards. The X-iter section offers various bonus modes for players seeking additional thrills.
