Your kingdom is in danger and the good King Lionheart is summoning you to his royal palace to brief you about a special quest he has for you. As the Lord Commander, your task is to strengthen the authority of your monarch, Connect the lands under his rule and Collect the rewards waiting for you should you succeed. In this newest slot title, meticulously crafted in the workshops at Atomic Slot Lab from Bragg Studios, you can seize your moment of glory, enjoy the compelling Connect & Collect mechanics and win some epic royal jackpots.
Forget the dull, dim and grim depictions of life in the Middle Ages: this medieval-themed title is brimming with colors and vibrance, inviting your gaze to graze upon the vivid imagery of symbols and backgrounds. The same applies to game event animations: trigger the add wilds mechanics and the king himself will flamboyantly wave his big sword around to place the wilds onto the grid. The impression after a few dozen initial spins is one of a game that is visually inviting and fun to look at. This nicely complements and ties in with what happens on the slot face - and a lot can happen in this game, especially if luck is on your side and symbols start connecting and collecting prizes and features.
Connect, collect and celebrate
Speaking of which, following what's going on in the game is easy and intuitive and it only takes a spin or two to get the hang of the connect & collect mechanic that powers the thrill of this title. It works by landing adjacent connect & collect symbols to create paths up and down and from left to right, instantly collecting all special symbols they happen to connect to. Special symbols can be found in the top and bottom positions of the middle reel and on reel six, and they trigger game events or carry prizes.
The quick collect symbol, once you reach it on reel three with consecutive connect & collect symbols, adds more of these on the same row further to the right, creating this way a connection to prizes in reel six. These latter include instant credits, free games, added wilds and one of the three jackpots. To get to reel six, you could also connect to the respins symbol that starts the respins feature in which all connect & collect symbols are sticky. Respins add more of them to the slot face, possibly creating this way a path to the coveted prizes on reel six.
Special positions on reel three can also have the add wilds symbol that awards three to eighteen wilds, the free games symbol that awards up to 25 free spins, and instant credits of up to 800x total bet. What's great about this mechanic is that you can win multiple bonuses at once. Jackpots, however, are an exception here and only appear on reel six, which means that to score them, you have to trigger respins or quick collect - or land collect & connect symbols naturally - to reach them there.
And finally, another exciting feature that can help you score big time is reel mirroring which occurs in the free games phase. On every spin, reels one and two and reels four and five will stop the same symbols, creating this way attractive combo-making options.
Our final verdict
The game is played on no less than 1875 ways to win with medium volatility and a 4,500x max multiplier. 5-in-line multipliers don't seem very generous on paper, but the engaging mechanics tend to greatly offset this impression, carry a decent potential for very satisfying wins and more than compensate for those mid-tier paytable values. Background music and sound effects are catchy, befitting the artistic style of the visuals, and never feel repetitive or annoying. Quite the opposite is true: they feel in place and considerably contribute to player immersion. All in all, this slot is perfectly able to please any player - just as it did with us - with its fun and intuitive mechanics, vibrant visuals that make it a joy to play, and an immersive experience-enhancing musical score that makes you whistle the main tune long after you've completed your game session. It's catchy on all levels and makes you long for those olden golden days when a single hero could save entire kingdoms. We took plenty of pleasure from this escape ticket to a romantic historical era, and you too can get a kick out of this power fantasy slot title without reservations: after all, that's what games are all about, isn't it?
