Ethan Grand: Mayan Diaries Game Review

This is not the first time EvoPlay has taken us on a 3rd-person video game style 3D adventure, and we have a feeling it’s not the last time either. They have ditched the shoot ‘em up element in Ethan Grand: Mayan Diaries, however, and instead the game is focused on the choice of paths as you explore the ruins of an ancient Mayan city in the South American jungle.

Dangers lurk everywhere, however, and choosing the correct path means the difference between life and death for your explorer hero and avatar, Ethan Grand. You can cash out after each choice, and the prizes increase along a 5 milestone timeline that leads to the bonus game. The max win is £30,720, and fans of Lara Croft and similar video games should love what’s on offer here.

Ethan Grand: Mayan Diaries Features & How to Play

You start by choosing your bet size (£0.1 to £500), and hit “play”. You will then choose which way to move out of 3 options, or you can use the random button to let the game decide for you. Each choice amounts to a “spin” if this was a regular slot, and the outcome is that either your character, Ethan, dies, or he manages to move across the hinders of the chosen route.

If Ethan reaches his destination alive and well, this amounts to 1 milestone on a timeline consisting of 5 milestones. Each milestone you reach increases your winnings, from 0.384x to 6.144x your stake.

As mentioned above, if you manage to guess the correct path 5 times in a row, you trigger the Bonus Game. You then need to make a decision up front. You can either take your current winnings, or you can stake it all in the bonus game. The bonus game is all about opening a chest to get to the treasure inside.

You’re basically placing a bet on whether or not Ethan will manage to open the chest. You have to open a lock that consists of 5 circles to win the bonus game, and the key can break at any time.

The 200 Spins Ethan Grand: Mayan Diaries Experience

You get to see Ethan leap to his death several times in our 2:35-minute highlights video, but you also get to see him succeed and collect a decent win for us. Watching this brief video will give you a good overview of the somewhat unusual gameplay, at least it’s unusual compared to regular slots. Anyway, check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Having tried similar RPG-style games in the ‘shoot-em up’ genre before, we have to say that we enjoyed this EvoPlay release far more. Ethan Grand: Mayan Diaries takes you on a Mayan ruins jungle adventure that’s filled with dangers, and it’s more fun to choose between different paths than simply shooting different critters non-stop. The stakes and tension increase per successful path choice, but you can cash out at any time.

It’s not as nerve-racking as those Busta games, however, since you can catch your breath between each choice. It’s fun to explore the 3D video game style environment, but it also gets a tad repetitive after a while.

Pros

• Innovative third-person 3D adventure game
• Pick the correct path 5x to get the bonus game
• Win up to £30,720

Cons

• Gets a bit repetitive with only one bonus game type

If you enjoy Ethan Grand: Mayan Diaries you should also try:

Star Guardians - is EvoPlay’s first third-person game, and this one is a shoot ‘em up space adventure. You can choose between 3 different Avatars, and they are all fully capable of taking on huge amounts of alien critters with their weaponry. Kill the bonus round Queen to win prizes up to 5,000x your stake.

Penalty Shoot Out - is a somewhat similar dynamic instant game from EvoPlay, and it’s all about getting the ball past the goalkeeper. The game is a lot simpler than the one at hand though, and it comes with a max win of 30x your stake.

Penalty Series - is an upgraded version of the game above, and in this EvoPlay release you get to be both the goalscorer and the goalkeeper. The bet multiplier increases per successful shot or save, and you can place different side bets for payouts up to 61x your stake.
