Wild Crusade Empire Treasures Review
The reels are set against a waterfall backdrop, and you’ll see a castle up in the left-hand side corner. A somewhat unusual setting for a medieval-themed slot perhaps, and the blue symbol backdrop also seems a bit misplaced. Wild Crusade: Empire Treasures is all about the Wild Crusade Respins feature, and you need nothing but wilds and a x5 wild multiplier to crack the 10,000x potential from a single respin.
With no regular bonus round to look forward to, you are at the mercy of the walking wilds that both expand and increase their multiplier per step to the left. It’s not so often you get both of those attributes at the same time, which adds a drop of novelty to this prospect. However, overall it comes across as a pretty mediocre effort.
Wild Crusade: Empire Treasures Features
The regular wild steps in for all pay symbols, and it’s also the most valuable symbol in the game. Land 5 on a payline to be awarded with a 50x your stake payout, and the same goes for the special Sword Wilds we’ll be discussing below.
The Wild Crusade Respins feature is triggered whenever you land at least 1 Sword Wild, and these can land on reels 2 to 5 only. The Sword Wild lands with a multiplier of x1 to x5 attached, and you’re then granted respins until the original sword wild, or any new sword wilds that land, walk off the leftmost reel.
The Sword Wild moves one step left per respin, and this also increases the wild multiplier with +1 up to x5 at the most. The multiplier wild will also expand +1 position up or down per movement from the second movement and forward. If it lands on reel 5 initially, you are thus guaranteed a 1x4 fully expanded x5 multiplier wild when it reaches reel 1.
The Empire Treasures Jackpot feature can trigger at any given time, no matter if you win or lose, or what stake level you play at (although higher stakes will trigger the feature more frequently). There are 4 jackpots up for grabs in the pick’em game that follows, and you’ll choose from a selection of 20 shield symbols.
Each jackpot comes with a corresponding color meter, and when you fill a meter by revealing that color from the shield picks, you win the jackpot. All 4 are progressive jackpots, and they come with the following seed levels:
- Grand Jackpot seeds at £200,000.
- Major Jackpot seeds at £10,000.
- Minor Jackpot seeds at £1,000.
- Mini Jackpot seeds at £100.
The 200 Spins Wild Crusade: Empire Treasures Experience
We triggered the Wild Crusade Respins feature plenty of times, and you get to see some decent payouts in the 4-minute highlights video below. There’s isn't all that much more to say about it really, so you’ll just have to hit that play button and see for yourself.
Review Summary
The blueish reel background doesn’t quite fit the bill in our opinion, and the “offness” of the visual presentation is reflected in the game as such. The base game comes with plenty of dead spins or smaller payouts, while you wait to trigger the walking expanding progressive multiplier wild respins feature. It sounds a bit more exciting than it actually is when you say it like that, although some players will probably appreciate it.
It’s a mix of classic and proven elements after all, but the Respins round didn’t really raise our pulse too much in this game. Perhaps a proper bonus round with the same would’ve gone down better, although a 10,000x potential from a single spin is certainly solid. The progressive jackpots add an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability, but overall this feels like a shelf-filler.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Walking expanding progressive multiplier wild respins | Overall mediocre vibe and visuals |
| Win up to 10,000x your stake from a single spin | |
| 4 progressive jackpots starts at up to £200,000 |
