Age of Conquest Slot

Graphics

The graphics on Age of Conquest are sumptuous. The game symbols are alive and bright, with the top-paying stacked Elven Warrior and Warrior Maiden x15 and x10 your bet, respectively, for five across a payline. They appear stacked on every reel, so the ideal is, of course, to land multiple reels of the same stacked symbol. The stuff that online slots play dreams are made of. Every Diamond symbol we land pops and glistens before floating up to take its position above the reel on which it landed. Each one disappears again once a Wild spin completes.

Mid-paying Horse, Eagle, Sword & Shield and Potion make up the mid-range symbols, while the low-paying symbols take shape as ornately designed Jacks through Aces. It is the Crest Scatter that lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 that is the one we hunt for most as we search for epic free spins action.

Gameplay

For an epic adventure we need an epic soundtrack and even more epic visuals. That’s precisely what we get on the Age of Conquest slot. The Stacked symbols and Wilds nod to Forbidden Throne, another Microgaming slot, but Age of Conquest differs in its use of collectable Diamonds that appear on every reel. Land a Diamond and it swoops to take its place above the reel in one of two Diamond Meter positions. Two diamonds trigger a Wild Reel for two following paid spins.

The possibility of triggering two or more fully stacked Wild reels is very real, with the game’s top payout of 50,000 awarded should you land fully stacked Wilds on all five reels. To trigger the Free Spins bonus feature you must land three Crest Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, at which point you have three options of bonus game:
● 2 Free Spins with 3 Wild Reels.
● 8 Free Spins with 2 Wild Reels.
● 25 Free Spins with 1 Wild Reel.

The Wild Reels appear on different reel positions for each spin, and the feature can be re-triggered from within the bonus game to prolong the Wild adventure.

Verdict

The gameplay, graphics and soundtrack explore the theme perfectly, and the three bonus game variants offer plenty of appeal. Players who like to adjust their bet level as part of a slots play strategy should take note that Diamonds collected are set for each bet level, so Diamond Meters reset to 0 if you switch up or down to a bet level in which you haven’t yet earned any Diamonds.

Overall, though, the Diamond Wild Reels feature offers plenty to keep us on the hunt of the very tasty Free Spins feature. Which version you choose is up to you as you make your own choices on this road to adventure.
