Sadie Swift: Guns 'n Glyphs Review

Made in collaboration with the well-known Twitch casino streamer, CasinoTest24, Sadie Swift: Guns 'n Glyphs is a daring and ambitious attempt at blending together two very different worlds. While the idea offers some interesting bonus round options, both the theme and the game itself comes across as a bit “all over the map”.

You can place bets between 35p and £70 per spin here, and it all plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 win ways. The hit rate of 47.57 % is unusually high for this kind of volatility, and you need to commit to 1 of 3 HyperBet levels that will affect both the math model and the 2 bonus rounds. With streaming in mind this game kind of makes sense. However, it might be too disjointed to be able to hold it together for mainstream appeal.

Sadie Swift: Guns 'n Glyphs Features

The female explorer, Sadie Swift, is depicted on the game’s wild symbol, and these will step in for all regular symbols per usual. Above each regular reel you’ll see a Bonus Reel position. Here you will land special symbols that award you with multipliers and the Expanding Reels feature.

When you land the treasure map bonus symbol on the middle bonus reel position, the symbol in the middle row of reel 3 becomes a “special expanding symbol” for 1 spin. Clearly inspired by the book of genre, you will see the chosen symbol expand as long as you landed enough to create a winning combo. You can also land random multipliers on the bonus reels, and these are summed up and applied to any win.

The bonus round is triggered by landing at least 3 bonus scatters anywhere on the reels. You will then get to choose between the 2 different free spins options. To complicate things, you have 3 different HyperBet levels to choose from when you initially start to play the base game. Which HyperBet level you went with will determine the following about your bonus round:

• Level 1 - gives you 6 free spins to start with, a max sticky wild multiplier of 2x and a max win multiplier symbol of 4x on the bonus reel.
• Level 2 - gives you 8 free spins to start with, a max sticky wild multiplier of 3x and a max win multiplier symbol of 7x on the bonus reel.
• Level 3 - gives you 10 free spins to start with, a max sticky wild multiplier of 4x and a max win multiplier symbol of 11x on the bonus reel.

The Egyptian Free Spins round is the lower volatility option, and it’s lifted right from the book slot genre.

A random symbol will be chosen up front to become the expanding symbol during the feature. When you land a Scarab in the bonus reel above the regular reels, you’ll see a fire tornado appear behind the relevant reel.

This marks the reel as a “special reel” for the duration of the bonus round, and the chosen symbol will expand to fill all such reels after each spin. This happens no matter if you land the chosen symbol on the reel or not, and can be quite powerful when it comes to helping you fill the screen with expanding symbols. You will also benefit from win multiplier symbols on the bonus reel, as well as +1 extra spin symbols.

The Wild West Free Spins round is the high volatility option, and it comes with sticky multiplier wilds that remain in place for the duration of the feature. Landing a sheriff star on the bonus reel will increase all wild multiplier values on that particular reel with +1. You can get +1 extra spin symbols also here, as well as win multiplier symbols.

The highlights video below will give you a nice taste of what the base game is like, before we trigger the bonus round at 0:40.

Nothing too exciting happens before that however, so you might wanna skip right to it. We went with the less volatile Egyptian option, and you can see how it plays out by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Sadie Swift: Guns 'n Glyphs is a somewhat strange mix of the egyptian themed Ra clone inspired features, and the typical wild west slot with sticky multiplier wilds. Does it work. Well, kind of. It feels a bit disjointed at times, but at least you have 2 pretty exciting bonus rounds to choose from. The max win potential of 14,144x is not exactly a drawback either.

The whole Hyperbet thing makes everything sound more complicated than it actually is.

You just need to commit to a level up front that suits your bankroll and bet level. The base game is helped by the bonus reel features, but as usual, most of the excitement is found in the bonus rounds. You can decide to play it somewhat safe with the low volatility option, but overall this is a pretty volatile title from Kalamba.

Pros

• Top bonus reel with multipliers and expanding symbols feature
• Choice of 2 different bonus rounds
• 14,144x max win potential

Cons

• Dead or Alive meets Ra feels a bit forced

If you enjoy Sadie Swift: Guns 'n Glyphs you should also try:

Dead or Alive 2 - is clearly a source of inspiration for the game at hand, and the High Noon Saloon bonus round comes with multiplying multiplier wilds for wins up to 40,500x per spin. The max win potential is a staggering 111,111x your stake here, and there are 2 other free spins options as well.

Wild West Wilds - is another solid title in the wild west genre, and it comes with respins with sticky wilds in the base game. Things are turned up a notch or ten during the bonus round however, as you will now benefit from up to 10x multiplier sticky wilds and potential payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Book Of Kings - is a popular book of clone with a female lead character, not unlike in the game at hand. What makes this game stand out is the potential for a snake multiplier of 3x, and the fact that you can land 3 different jackpots.
